NYULCBC: Lung Cancer Biomarkers and Screening
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
RATIONALE: Screening tests that use biomarkers may help doctors find tumor cells early and plan effective treatment for lung cancer.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying biomarkers in screening participants for lung cancer.

Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
-
Identify and validate biomarkers for the early detection of lung cancer in individuals at low- or high-risk for smoking-related cancers.
-
Identify preneoplastic cellular changes and lesions in these patients.
OUTLINE: Participants are stratified according to lung cancer risk status (with or without increased risk).
Group 1 (screening cohort): Participants complete a questionnaire and undergo pulmonary function testing, multidetector chest CT scan, sputum induction, and phlebotomy.
Group 2 (rule-out lung cancer): Participants complete the same questionnaire and undergo the same tests and scans as in group 1. Some participants may undergo fiberoptic bronchoscopy based upon CT scan results with transbronchial or endobronchial biopsies. Some participants may undergo lung resection. Tissue samples are collected from surgery or biopsy.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of participants will be accrued for this study.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
lung cancer screening cohort observational only. no intervention. current, former and never smokers over age 50 without history of cancer, except for non melanoma skin cancer, no previous treatment with chemotherapy. |
|
r/o lung cancer observational only. no intervention. patients with CT findings suspicious for lung cancer who are undergoing bronchoscopy and/or surgery. |
