Lung Cancer is the second most common Cancer in the UK and the most lethal. Unfortunately, more than 75% of lung cancers in the UK are diagnosed late, and the 5-year survival rate for these patients is very low (5%).
Recently blood tests have been thought to be helpful in diagnosing lung cancer, and in this study we plan to take blood from patients that have a nodule suspected of being cancer (5000 patients). Taking blood samples from these patients will allow SCOOT to test if blood biomarkers can be used to help to predict whether a detected nodule suspected of being a lung cancer is cancerous or not.
