About this study

In plain language

This study looks at small differences in genes, called SNPs, that may be linked to lung cancer risk and survival. It compares people with and without lung cancer. People in the lung cancer group must be 18 or older and have confirmed cancer that started in the lungs.

Investigators use a genome-wide approach within a case-control design to identify SNPs that show evidence of association with lung cancer risk and survival.

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

Eligibility

Who can join

  • For the lung cancer group: cancer that started in the lungs, confirmed by testing tissue or cells.
