Extracellular vesicle-associated epidermal growth factor receptor as a potential liquid biopsy biomarker in lung adenocarcinoma: a case-control study

Our findings indicated that EGFR was selectively packaged into EVs derived from lung adenocarcinoma and was absent in non-cancerous controls. EV-associated EGFR could be a noninvasive indicator for the early detection of lung adenocarcinoma through liquid biopsy.
