Abstract:

We propose to investigate the performance of previously discovered urinary metabolomic biomarkers among military personnel at high risk for lung cancer, by focusing on early detection, thereby potentially improving its very bleak prognosis. Additionally, global metabolomic profiling will allow us to interrogate whether the military have unique exposures that may be related to lung cancer, which may aid currently existing risk, diagnostic and prognostic lung cancer classifiers in the military populations.
