To the Editor,

We found an error in our published article.

Chang S, Hur JY, Choi YL, Lee CH, Kim WS. Current status and future perspectives of liquid biopsy in non-small cell lung cancer. J Pathol Transl Med. 2020; 54(3): 204-212. https://doi.org/10.4132/jptm.2020.02.27.

In the section "FUTURE PERSPECTIVES ON CIRCULATING TUMOR DNA TESTING IN LUNG CANCER," the following sentence was incorrectly stated:

Original:

"However, the overall false-positive rate is 96.4% because of many indeterminate pulmonary nodules."

Corrected:

"However, in the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST), 96.4% of positive low-dose CT screening results were false positives, corresponding to the false discovery rate rather than the conventional false-positive rate."

The original statement incorrectly described the proportion of false-positive results among positive screening results as the overall false-positive rate. The corrected statement clarifies the distinction between these two measures.

We apologize for this error and any confusion it may have caused.
