University of Colorado-Denver

Research Project:

Biomarkers for Early Detection

Summary:

By further understanding the early steps of lung cancer development, Dr. Mascaux hopes to identify biomarkers for early detection and potentially find new targets for lung cancer prevention and treatment. In this international multicenter study, Dr. Mascaux will analyze selected biomarkers and demonstrate whether they can be used for early detection of lung cancer.  Her ultimate aim is to develop a cost-effective, non-invasive screening test for lung cancer that could be made widely available.
