A lung cancer risk classifier comprising genome maintenance genes measured in normal bronchial epithelial cells

Abstract Background Annual low dose CT (LDCT) screening of individuals at high demographic risk reduces lung cancer mortality by more than 20%. However, subjects selected for screening based on demographic criteria typically have less than a 10% lifetime risk for lung cancer. Thus, there is need for...
