Abstract
Lung cancer: According to Stanford radiology researcher Sylvia Plevritis, PhD, scientists would need to detect nodules measuring in the range of 2 to 5 mm to significantly improve survival rates for patients with lung cancer. Currently, cancerous lung nodules are detected when they measure approximately 2 cm or larger. The research is focused on developing more sensitive biomarker tests and molecular imaging for never and former smokers, who together comprise greater than half of all lung cancer deaths. Prostate cancer: The Prostate Active Surveillance Study (PASS) is designed to identify and validate biomarkers that predict aggressive prostate cancer. Coordinated by the NCI's Early Detection Research Network, the study will recruit approximately 400 men at 6 sites in the United States and Canada.
