About this study

In plain language

This study looks for changes in DNA and other signs in the body that may help predict cancer. It uses blood, urine, mucus coughed up from the lungs, and lung tissue samples from people at high risk of lung cancer.

RATIONALE: Using samples of blood, urine, sputum, and lung tissue from patients at high risk of cancer for laboratory studies may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is looking at molecular predictors of cancer in patients at high risk of lung cancer.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
