Genomics of Early Lung Cancer Among Military Personnel (GELCAMP)

Abstract

Lung cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide, and improvements in morbidity and mortality hinge oncontinued investigation into the biology of cancer. Whole genome sequencing can uncover cancer-associatedmutations that can meaningfully impact clinical care and decision-making. In this study, blood, bronchial epithelialcells and tumor tissue (as applicable) will be sequenced from 50 cases with confirmed cancer and 50 non-cancercontrols. The resulting profiles will be analyzed for genetic markers that that may enable earlier diagnosis, guidetherapy decisions and improve patient outcomes.
