Validation of biomolecular markers in the circulation and radiomic features are the focus of this project.The aim is to assess the role of molecular and cellular biomarkers (exosomes antigens, Circulating tumor cells - CTCs, panel of mutations in circulating free DNA) and radiomic signature, as complementary to assist early detection of lung cancer by LDCT.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| cancer patients (clinical stage I and II) +controls | 70 lung cancer patients (clinical stage I and II) diagnosed outside screening and candidates to surgical resection at Humanitas Hospital, and 70 controls with benign nodules. Cancer patients will undergo blood collection before and at 4 months after surgical resection. Blood will be used for CTC analysis, exosome antigens and circulating free DNA (cfDNA) mutational analysis. | ||
| prospective screening cohort of high risk individuals | a prospective screening cohort of high risk individuals enrolled at Humanitas Hospital (1000) will allow to recruit 50 patients with screening detected lung cancer and a large number of negative controls. Analysis of CTC, exosome antigens and cfDNA mutation profile will be performed. |

| LDCT (Low Dose CT) | Other | validate the role of non-invasive molecular and cellular biomarkers and combined radiomic signature, as complementary tools to assist early detection of lung cancer by LDCT using bioinformatic techniques for the integration of the results |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Obtaining biological samples, and correspondent clinical and imaging data to use, as fresh blood tissues or frozen stored tissues from lung cancer patients and controls obtained from the Division of Thoracic Surgery and LDCT lung-cancer screening program | 1.1 : Obtaining biological material from cancer cases and controls (clinical cases) and store in the biobank with clinical data and imaging for bio radiomic analysis. 1.2 : Identification and testing of methods of recruiting high-risk individuals for a lung-cancer screening program using available database to select very high risk individuals; 1.3 : Obtaining biological material from asymptomatic screening-detected cancer cases and controls and store in the biobank with clinical data and imaging. 1.4 : Assessment of compliance of the recruited population and assessment of mean lung-cancer risk. Verify the potential impact of molecular markers as a pre-screening test to better assess the risk of subjects, evaluate the impact on nodule management and number of false positive cases among screening process according to biostatistical analysis. | 01 Jan 2018 - 01 Jan 2023 |

| Tumor antigens identified by RPPA in lung cancer circulating exosome | Blood-derived exosomes will be collected. Exosome antigens assessment will be performed. Then, a bioinformatics analysis of the performance of exosome antigens as diagnostic markers for lung cancer will be performed. | 01 Jan 2018 - 01 Jan 2023 |
