Abstract Lung cancer stands as the most prevalent form of globally, posing a significant threat to human well-being. Due lack effective and accurate early diagnostic methods, many patients are diagnosed with advanced lung cancer. Although surgical resection is still potential means eradicating cancer, usually miss best chance for treatment, even after may experience tumor recurrence. Additionally, chemotherapy, mainstay treatment has be chemo-resistant, resulting in poor clinical outcomes. The emergence liquid biopsies garnered considerable attention owing their noninvasive nature ability continuous sampling. Technological advancements have propelled circulating cells (CTCs), DNA (ctDNA), extracellular vesicles (EVs), metabolites, tumor-educated platelets (TEPs), tumor-associated antigens (TAA) forefront key biopsy biomarkers, demonstrating intriguing encouraging results diagnosis prognostic evaluation This review provides an overview molecular biomarkers assays utilized encompassing CTCs, ctDNA, non-coding RNA (ncRNA), EVs, TAAs TEPs.

Lung cancer is a commonly diagnosed and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, posing serious health risk. Despite new advances in immune checkpoint targeted therapies recent years, prognosis for lung patients, especially those advanced stages, remains poor. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to modulate tumor development at multiple levels, as such, miRNA mimics molecules aimed regulating miRNAs promise preclinical development. More importantly, miRNA-based can also complement conventional chemoradiotherapy, immunotherapy, reverse drug resistance increase sensitivity cells. Furthermore, small interfering RNA (siRNA) entered clinical trials favorable prospects. Therefore, this paper, we review treatment well adjuvant therapy present current state treatment.
