Biomarkers lacked the sensitivity and specificity for independent differential diagnosis or histological subtyping. However, the observed patterns in biomarker levels associated with specific histological subtypes suggest potential utility in a multi-biomarker approach or in conjunction with other diagnostic tools. This insight could guide future research to improve diagnostic accuracy and personalized treatment strategies in lung cancer.
