Investigators use a genome-wide approach within a case-control design to identify SNPs that show evidence of association with lung cancer risk and survival.
Investigators also investigate how genetic variants may affect cancer treatment, at various stages of disease development, in order to determine prognostic and predictive factors for survival.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Survival among patients at different stages of lung cancer and treatment will be measured using questionnaires along with medical chart data to monitor treatment and disease progression | Study lung cancer development in a case control study. We will look at three separate outcome measures specified below | 20 years |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Overall survival | Measurement from time of diagnosis to death will be obtained | 20 years |
| Progression-free survival | Time of diagnosis to disease progression (measured by metastasis) |

Lung cancer cases and healthy controls are recruited from Massachusetts General Hospital patient population. Cases come from Thoracic Surgery or Cancer Center. Controls are usually spouses or friends of cases, or in some cases unrelated to a specific case.
