We performed a meta-analysis in order to determine whether the molecular tumour cell detection of either micrometastasis or isolated tumour cells in the bone marrow micrometastasis is indicative of a high risk of both disease recurrence and poor survival in the setting of node-negative non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
