Molecular mechanisms of lung cancer development in former smokers
FY 2008-09
Summary
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in Canada. Former heavy smokers remain at an elevated risk for developing lung cancer even years after they stop smoking. In this study, we propose to identify the molecular changes in the lungs of former smokers that contribute to the development of lung cancer.
