Using molecular radiogenomics to improve treatment predictions in lung cancer

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. The researchers aim to combine molecular imaging techniques, specifically 18F-FDG PET, with whole exome sequencing to create a more accurate model for predicting treatment responses and survival outcomes. By analyzing tumor biology and genetic alterations, the study seeks to enhance risk stratification for patients undergoing treatment. The study utilizes routine pathological specimens and advanced sequencing technologies to gather comprehensive data on tumor characteristics.
