Boston lung cancer genetic study
Part of Cancer, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at tissue samples from people with lung cancer to learn more about the genes and molecules that cause it. By participating, you may help doctors better understand lung cancer and improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with lung cancer (confirmed by a biopsy or other tissue sample).
- You are 18 years old or older.
Quick eligibility check
Answer a few plain-language questions, based on this study's own requirements, to get a preliminary sense of fit.

This study looks for inherited (family-passed) genetic changes that may raise the risk of lung cancer and related thoracic cancers. It may help people and families understand their genetic risk by collecting health information and sometimes specimens from patients and relatives.
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 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.
This study collects medical information and samples from people with lung cancer to help doctors learn more about the disease. By joining, you may help improve future treatments without changing your current care.
This study looks at genes that may affect lung cancer in people under 45 and their families. It aims to understand how lung cancer runs in families and improve future treatment.
This study looks at lung cancer tumor samples and blood to find DNA changes (gene changes) that may be driving the cancer. The results could help researchers better understand lung cancer and guide future treatments.
