NCT ID NCT07553598

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study will enroll over 3,200 adults in Delhi and surrounding areas to understand how air pollution, especially fine particles (PM2.5), combines with other factors like smoking and genetics to increase lung cancer risk. Researchers will also look for biomarkers and identify groups most vulnerable, such as children and the elderly. The goal is to create a risk prediction model to guide prevention and policy.
