New study aims to unlock genetic secrets of lung cancer spread
NCT ID NCT07630246
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at a specific type of lung cancer called lung adenocarcinoma and how it can spread through tiny air spaces in the lungs. Researchers will collect tumor and healthy tissue samples from 140 patients to find genetic markers that might predict this spread. The goal is to better understand the disease and improve future diagnosis and treatment options.

Who is studied
Cohort I: Retrospective data collection 70 patients who have undergone LUAD surgery at the Thoracic Surgery Unity of ULS DE SÃO JOSÉ (35 patients for group 1 and 35 patients for group 2). In this cohort, we use banked formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue samples for analysis. Cohort II: Prospective data Collection 70 patients diagnosed with LUAD in ULSSJ will be invited to participate in the study (35 patients for group 1 and 35 patients for group 2). In this cohort of patients, we will prospectively perform a non-interventional study to recruit LUAD patients and analyze the clinical impact of the STAS pattern in patients with LUAD.
