Analysis of Screen-detected Lung Cancers' Genomic Traits (ASCENT)

April 11, 2024 updated by: University College, London
Prospective, observational cohort study of patients undergoing surgical resection for low dose CT (LDCT) screen-detected lung cancer (detected through the SUMMIT study- ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03934866/ lung screening programmes), in which translational research is a fundamental aspect.

Detailed Description

The ASCENT study seeks to examine the genomic signatures of screen-detected cancers, in order to categorise the biological behaviour of such lesions and correlate this against non-invasive biological and radiological parameters. From these data, the plan is to explore strategies to characterise LDCT-detected cancers through non-invasive means, which the researchers believe may prove key in mitigating potential screening-associated harms.
