Creatv Announces Ability to Predict Immunotherapy Treatment Response for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) using a Simple Blood Test

ROCKVILLE, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Creatv Microtech, a privately-held biotechnology company has pioneered a blood test to predict treatment response in patients with stage II-III NSCLC treated with chemoradiation therapy (CRT) and consolidated immunotherapy.
