The Medical College of Ohio is inviting families to take part in an important genetic research project. This could improve the detection, treatment, and prevention of lung cancer in the future. Funding for this project is from the National Institute of Health and is a joint effort with seven other centers from across the United States. Lung Cancer Research Participation Families with two or more relatives on the same side of the family tree who have been diagnosed with lung cancer are invited to participate. Family members do not need to live in the same geographical location.
Family members complete an environmental questionnaire and donate a one-time blood sample.
