The North Carolina Lung Screening Registry Project
As part of an NIH/NCI funded study we seek to understand how the results of the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST) and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines impact the use of low dose computed tomography (LDCT) for lung cancer screening in the general population.
Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center Lung Biomarker Study
The long-term goal of this research is to improve the use of biomarker testing for all patients with advanced NSCLC. The objective of this pilot project is to explore disparities in biomarker testing. Our results will fill a knowledge gap in understanding how molecular biomarker testing is being used in a population setting and if these advancements in care are potentially widening disparities.
