Could your family tree predict lung cancer risk?
NCT ID NCT06196424
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study enrolled 336 people with non-small cell lung cancer to collect detailed family cancer histories using a questionnaire. Researchers want to see if certain patterns of cancer in relatives, along with smoking and other risk factors, can help identify patients who might benefit from genetic counseling. The study does not test any treatment or drug.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If patterns emerge, doctors may better identify which lung cancer patients should receive genetic counseling.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It only collects questionnaire data, so it cannot directly improve patient outcomes.

Who is studied
This is a prospective, observational, multi-centre study. Our study population will be represented by consecutive patients with histologically diagnosed NSCLC, regardless of their age, TNM stage, smoking status, and other clinic-pathologic characteristics. Patients' history will be carefully collected by investigators through a dedicated self-reported study questionnaire, which has been developed for the purpose of this study (provided as Appendix 1). The ad-hoc study questionnaire has been validated by the genetic expert of the steering committee who will train each investigator to translate the returned questionnaire into standardized family trees.
