Find lung cancer genetic markers from tissue samples
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks for specific genetic markers of lung cancer by testing tissue taken from a lung mass. It may help doctors detect and better understand lung cancer based on genetic clues.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed or strongly suspected lung cancer
- Your diagnosis may be lung cancer, lung spread from another cancer, mesothelioma, or a suspicious lung spot
- You have (or are scheduled to have) a biopsy or surgery to remove a lung mass
- You can sign a consent form to join the study

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at genetic (DNA) and molecular (cell-level) information related to lung cancer to better understand the disease. You may be invited if you have a confirmed primary lung cancer diagnosis, or if you are healthy with no cancer.
This study is testing whether certain markers in your blood or tissue can help find lung cancer early. It is for people who have lung cancer that can be removed by surgery and haven't had treatment yet.
This study looks at “biomarkers,” which are measurable signs in the body (often in blood or samples), in people with lung or other chest cancers. It may help researchers better understand these cancers and improve how they’re diagnosed or tracked.
This study checks whether it’s practical to do gene (DNA) testing on samples taken during EBUS-TBNA, a common breathing-tube biopsy used to stage lung cancer. If it works well, it could make genetic testing faster and easier for people with lung cancer.
This study looks at DNA from blood samples and lung tumor tissue in people newly diagnosed with primary lung cancer. The goal is to learn more about the cancer’s biology and possibly guide better future care.
This study uses a blood test to look for tiny genetic markers (miRNA and DNA methylation) that may help detect lung cancer early. If you have a lung nodule or mass found on a CT scan and haven't had treatment yet, you may be able to join.
