Summary

This study aims to develop a simple, non-invasive test for lung diseases like cancer by analyzing cough samples. Researchers will collect coughs, mouthwash, and lung fluid from 2,000 adults to see if genetic material from the lungs can be detected in breath. The goal is to create a tool for early diagnosis and risk assessment without needing invasive procedures.
