Lung Cancer Screening of Family Members of Patients With Mutation-Driven Lung Cancer

Summary

This is a single-armed screening research study which screens immediate family member of lung cancer patients with a driver mutation to see if lung cancer can be inherited and whether researchers can find lung cancer early. Immediate family members of lung cancer patients will be 40-80 years old and screened using a low dose CT scan.

Eligibility

Cohort A:

Inclusion Criteria:

* Current diagnosis of lung cancer with a driver mutation.
* Known driver mutation (e.g. via NGS, PCR, IHC, FISH, RT-PCR etc.)
* Able and willing to give informed consent.
* Able and willing to complete the screening questionnaire.

Cohort A:

Exclusion Criteria:

* There are no exclusion criteria for Cohort A.

Cohort B:

Inclusion Criteria:

* Age 40 - 80.
* Must have a first degree relative (mother, father, sibling, biological child) eligible for Cohort A. Note: Multiple first degree relatives of a Cohort A eligible participant may be approached for participation into the trial.
* Smoked \< 20 pack years; a. Pack years = numbers of packs per day × number of years smoked; b. One pack year is the equivalent of smoking an average of 20 cigarettes (1 pack) per day for a year.
* Be able to undergo a low dose chest CT scan.
* If an upper respiratory infection (pneumonia, COVID19, flu, etc.) occurred in the last 3 months, this infection must have resolved by time of enrollment.
* Able and willing to provide informed consent.
* Able and willing to comply with the protocol requirements

Cohort B:

Exclusion Criteria:

* Previous history of lung cancers.
* Symptoms suggestive of presence of current lung cancer, including (but not limited to): unexplained weight loss of over 15 pounds within the last 12 months or unexplained hemoptysis.
* Pregnant at time of enrollment.
* History of any type of cancer within 5 years, with the exception of in situ carcinomas and non-melanoma skin cancers (if excised).
* Current smoker.
* Smoked ≥ 20 pack years.
* Had a chest CT scan within 1 year of study entry.
