An observational, multicenter study will be performed. Regular 3-12 monthly follow-up by CT-scan will be compared to results of ctDNA analysis. Blood for analysis of mutation in ctDNA will be collected at the same moment a CT-scan is performed. All samples will be analyzed at the reference Pathology laboratory at the UMCG. A part of the samples will also be analyzed in other institutions to implement the ddPCR. Primary endpoint is concordance between CT-scan and ctDNA analysis results, from which the negative predictive value (NPV) of our ddPCR assay will be calculated.
