Predicting tumor progression in lung cancer patients

CANPOS: Predictive Biomarkers of Tumor Progression in Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Observational Hospices Civils de Lyon · NCT02764606

This study is testing new blood markers in patients with early-stage lung cancer to see if they can help predict if the cancer will spread, so doctors can create better follow-up plans.

What this trial studies

CANPOS is an observational study that evaluates new serum markers at the time of initial surgery to predict the occurrence of metastases in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. By analyzing serum and plasma samples, the study aims to develop personalized follow-up and prevention strategies for these patients. This non-interventional approach focuses on patients who are newly diagnosed and have not received any oncology treatment within the past five years.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults over 18 years old with a diagnosis or suspicion of non-small cell lung cancer who have not undergone any oncology treatment in the past five years.

Not a fit: Patients currently undergoing cancer treatment or with a history of cancer within the last five years may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved personalized treatment plans and monitoring for lung cancer patients.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored predictive biomarkers in lung cancer, indicating potential for success in this area.
