The BEST Lung Cancer Program (Biology, Education, Screening, Chemoprevention, and Treatment)

Abstract

Our long-term objectives are to define the molecular processes contributing to lung cancer development and progression in order to recognize genetic and phenotypic changes early enough to be reversed with molecularly-targeted therapy and to develop innovative therapeutic approaches to lung cancer. Therefore, the specific goals of this program are to understand molecular alterations in lung cancer, develop lung cancer prevention strategies, and implement experimental molecular approaches to lung cancer.
