Study:
Airway Epithelium Gene Expression in the Diagnosis of Lung Cancer: AEGIS II
Rationale:
n/a
Purpose:
The purpose of the research study is to develop a new, more sensitive, and less invasive
test for diagnosing lung cancer at an earlier stage, when it can more easily be cured. The
investigators hypothesize that certain genes are expressed differently in current and former
smokers who have lung cancer, and this difference in gene expression may be a biomarker for
lung cancer.
