    Characteristics of Genomic Alterations in Pericardial Effusion of Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer. (PubMed, Front Genet)
    Among liquid biopsy specimens from the advanced NSCLC patients, pericardial effusion may be a better candidate for genomic profiling than plasma cfDNA, while it could serve as a supplement to PE-cfDNA in detecting actionable alterations. Therefore, pericardial effusion might provide a new alternative for selection of patients for better treatment management.
