Summary

This study is testing a new blood test that looks for signs of a specific type of lung cancer (EGFR-positive) in healthy Asian and Latinx adults who are at risk but cannot get standard lung cancer screening. The test measures DNA fragments in the blood. Researchers will enroll 1,000 people to see how well the test detects cancer and how quickly results come back.
