A Study of Lung Cancer Risk in Never-Smokers
This study aims to understand what factors might increase the risk of lung cancer in people who have never smoked. Researchers will use a questionnaire and collect a blood sample for genetic analysis. The goal is to identify factors linked to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) risk over three years. This information could help predict who might be more likely to develop lung cancer even without a smoking history. The study is looking for 500 participants, specifically women aged 40-74 who have smoked fewer than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime. The current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an observational study planning to enroll 500 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- You would complete a questionnaire and have one vial of blood collected for genomic analysis during a regular treatment visit (if you have lung cancer) or a study-specific visit (if you don't).
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary goal is to identify risk factors measured at 3 years, suggesting a follow-up period.
