First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed study from City of Hope Medical Center looked at 109 people to understand how genetics and social factors like income and education may affect lung cancer risk. Participants gave blood samples, had low-dose CT scans, and filled out surveys. The goal is to find clues that could help catch lung cancer earlier.
