A Study to Assess DNA Tumor Markers in Whole Blood Specimens of Patients with Newly Diagnosed Lung Cancer

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to assess Methylated DNA tumor markers distributed in blood samples of patients newly diagnosed with different types of lung cancer. The goal is to develop new blood screening tests that can identify the type and primary site of cancer.
