Family Lung Cancer Study / University of Cincinnati College of Medicine

The study of families with lung cancer, led by the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine with other study sites, is still accepting participants.  Recently reported results show that some close relatives inherit genetic material that increases their lung cancer risk.

To participate, please contact research associate Adrienne Perez by email or call her at (513) 558-3120. If this is a long distance call for you Ms. Perez will call you back, so the study will pay for the call. She will send you a short questionnaire asking about your family history of lung cancer.
