Observational Study of Lung Cancer Genetics
This study is looking at the genes of people with lung cancer and healthy individuals to understand how genetics might affect lung cancer risk and survival. Researchers are not testing any new drugs or treatments. They are studying how genetic differences (SNPs) are linked to lung cancer and how these differences might impact how well treatments work at various stages of the disease. The goal is to find factors that can predict how the disease will progress and how long people will live. You can join if you are 18 or older and either have lung cancer confirmed by a doctor or are a healthy person without any cancer. The study aims to enroll 15,000 participants. The current recruitment status is unclear.

What this trial measures
- Survival among patients at different stages of lung cancer and treatment will be measured using questionnaires along with medical chart data to monitor treatment and disease progression20 years
Study lung cancer development in a case control study. We will look at three separate outcome measures specified below
