Research Project:
ETS2 Signaling as a Potential Target of Therapy in Never-Smoker Lung Adenocarcinomas
Summary:
The grant will study this protein in patients with lung cancer who have never smoked where preliminary results imply it is more common than in smokers. If confirmed, the grant will explore the impact of the protein on various pathways within the cell attempting to associate the findings with effective therapy. The findings could lead to specific recommendations for patients with this protein.
