Lung Cancer Screening Study With Low-dose CT Scan and Blood Biomarker
Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer in the USA. Early stage lung cancer is asymptomatic. Most patients with lung cancer are usually symptomatic at diagnosis and already have advanc...
INS316 in Diagnosing Lung Cancer in Patients With Untreated Lung Cancer
RATIONALE: Doctors can diagnose lung cancer by collecting mucus coughed up from the lungs and examining it under a microscope to look for cancer cells. Breathing in INS316 may make it easi...
Biomarkers for Diagnosis of Lung Cancer
The study goal is to collect blood samples from individuals at risk for lung cancer in order to identify protein markers for diagnosis of lung cancer in the Chinese population.

Lung cancer is one of the leading cause of cancer related death in China.Different from patients in the US, Chinese patients with lung nodules tend to be less related to smoking, and seem ...

Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Lung Neoplasms
Tumors or cancer of the LUNG.
Carcinoma, Bronchogenic
Malignant neoplasm arising from the epithelium of the BRONCHI. It represents a large group of epithelial lung malignancies which can be divided into two clinical groups: SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER and NON-SMALL-CELL LUNG CARCINOMA.
Tumor Suppressor Protein P53
Nuclear phosphoprotein encoded by the p53 gene (GENES, P53) whose normal function is to control CELL PROLIFERATION and APOPTOSIS. A mutant or absent p53 protein has been found in LEUKEMIA; OSTEOSARCOMA; LUNG CANCER; and COLORECTAL CANCER.
Carcinoma, Non-small-cell Lung
A heterogeneous aggregate of at least three distinct histological types of lung cancer, including SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA; ADENOCARCINOMA; and LARGE CELL CARCINOMA. They are dealt with collectively because of their shared treatment strategy.
Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
A form of highly malignant lung cancer that is composed of small ovoid cells (SMALL CELL CARCINOMA).
