Característica
Objectiu de la convocatòria
Funding for 2-year research projects that facilitate or advance the understanding and characterization of pre-neoplasia or approaches for early detection of lung cancer.
Característiques principals
Work supported through this mechanism addresses important questions in non-small cell and small cell lung cancer.
This funding mechanism is focused on identifying, characterizing, and developing approaches and techniques that will allow early detection of lung cancer and gaining insight into pre-neoplastic processes in the lungs. The ultimate goal is to detect lung cancer at the earliest stages and subsequently increase survival and survivorship. While this list is not exclusive, general areas of interest include:
  • Identification and characterization of new biomarkers for NSCLC and SCLC
  • Liquid biopsy assays and related techniques
  • Improvements in risk stratifying patients for screening
  • Development of predictive, diagnostic, or prognostic biomarkers
  • Genomic and histological approaches to improve early detection in tissue samples
  • Novel imaging modalities to identify and risk stratify pre-neoplastic lesions Studies of pre-neoplasia and progression to lung neoplasia
