Involved Investigators

Abstact

To characterize intra or within subject reproducibility and variability To characterize inter or across subject variability by adenoma phenotype (normal vs. adenoma) To evaluate biomarker expression in relation to long term adenoma recurrence

Aims

3.1.1   Aim 1 Establish a cohort (n=200) of current and former smokers with indeterminate pulmonary nodules (7mm-25mm) on whom clinical, radiographic and biospecimen repositories are developed and who are followed prospectively until final diagnosis. 3.1.2   Aim 2 Validate the diagnostic accuracy of existing molecular biomarkers in the airway and blood to detect lung cancer in this clinical cohort.

Analytic Method

Airway gene-expression biomarker (BU) Airway protein biomarker (VU): LC-MRM-MS analyses Serum glycan biomarker (NYU): Plasma promoter methylation biomarker (JHU): Serum cytokines biomarker (UCLA): Serum/Plasma miRNA biomarker (OSU): Plasma miRNA biomarker (UMD):

Outcome

To characterize intra or within subject reproducibility and variability To characterize inter or across subject variability by adenoma phenotype (normal vs. adenoma) To evaluate biomarker expression in relation to long term adenoma recurrence
