Cancer Prevention Clinical Trials Network (CP-CTNet)
Research Centers develop and conduct early phase clinical trials to assess the preventive potential of agents and interventions of varying classes.
Phase 0/I/II Cancer Prevention Clinical Trials Program (Consortia)
Major medical research centers conduct systematic early clinical development of promising preventive agents.
Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) Consortium
Six investigators conduct research to expand the understanding of the critical molecular changes in the lung that precede the development of frank SCLC and/or to identify populations at particularly high risk for SCLC.
Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Improve Accuracy of Lung Cancer Screening
NCI is creating a Lung Image Library with imaging like these CT scans, for use by Artificial Intelligence researchers to improve lung cancer screening.
Identifying New Biomarkers to Detect Lung Cancer Earlier
Lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide killing 1.8 million people each year, is often diagnosed at an advanced stage when the chances for a cure are limited.
