Join the INHERIT Study to help us better understand the genetic (or inherited) risk for lung cancer, and what can be done for prevention and treatment of lung cancer.
Our goals are to learn more about:
-Inherited or genetic risk for developing lung cancer in certain people or families
-Changes in lung cancer tumors in people with increased genetic risk
-Ways to better predict lung cancer risk for certain groups of people
Who can join the INHERIT Study?
You may be able to join our research study if you have had lung cancer or a family history of lung cancer, AND one or more of the following:
-During genetic testing, you have a change (called a mutation) in the EGFR or HER2 gene, or in other genes such as TP53, BRCA1 or BRCA2, CHEK2, or ATM, and others. Please note this says genetic testing which is different than biomarker testing on a tumor.
-You have a relative who has a mutation in the EGFR or HER2 gene, or in one of the other genes listed above.
-You have more than one first-degree relative or relatives in more than one generation of your family with primary lung cancer. This means a parent or grandparent, sibling, aunts, uncles, etc.
-You have been diagnosed with one or more cancers in addition to primary lung cancer or you have had more than one primary lung cancer in your lifetime (such as breast cancer or prostate cancer, etc.)
Note: This study is currently only available in the US.
