The use of molecular biomarkers in early lung cancer detection (EARLY LUNG CANCER)

Objective

The overall goal of the project involving 12 Partners is to determine if specific genetic changes in lung carcinogenesis are detectable in the respiratory epithelium of individuals who have an increased risk of developing lung cancer. Partners are enrolling 1200 individuals with a very high risk of developing lung cancer i.e. Second Primary Lung Cancers (SPLC) in 12 clinical centres in Europe. The recruited individuals will be followed-up over 3 years, 1-3% per year will develop SPLC (-100 SPLC). Specimens obtained will be 'banked' and assessed for a range of molecular/pathological markers considered to be involved in carcinogenesis. We have tackled the question of early detection on a molecular pathway approach and plan to examine; oncogenic pathways and cell cycle regulation, genetic instability, angiogenic and growth factors, signal pathways, post-transcriptional regulation genomic expression profiling and genotyping.
