Dr. Nana-Sinkam is delineating the role of microRNA expression profiling in the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of lung cancer. He is testing whether microRNA expression profiles are detectable in the blood of lung cancer patients. He will compare individuals with lung cancer with current and former smokers without lung cancer.
