| | Organization's Mission Statement: Results of past research studies have suggested that persons in some families may be genetically more susceptible to developing lung cancer when exposed to environmental factors such as cigarette smoke. Scientists at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine are working with other scientists throughout the U.S. to find these susceptibility genes. This large research study is being conducted by the Genetic Epidemiology of Lung Cancer Consortium and is funded by the National Cancer Institute. The University of Cincinnati portion of the study is known as the Family Lung Cancer Study. |
