Hi @linpvc, I'm not sure if antibodies stay in your system. That's an interesting question, and it may depend on the type of lung cancer and the individual's immune system. Did the company or your doctor provide an answer? I took a quick look at Biodesix's web site. I'm not sure if they are measuring antibodies or circulating tumor DNA (CTDNA, which are cells that are shed by the original tumor). That may be a good question to ask too.

hi, Ihad the test last Friday. the test will identify antibodies that the body makes in response to lung cancer whether in situ or not. Still waiting for results. The primary nodule is on surface of heart pericardium so Im told a biopsy is not possible or extremely dangerous to biopsy. This test by Biodesix is also termed a " wet biopsy" highly accurate, it's a simple blood draw. I find it a miracle test.
