In some summaries, you may come across links to external websites. These websites will have more information to help you better understand the study.
Patients who have had curative treatment for lung cancer are at an increased risk of developing second primary lung cancers (and other cancers) over the next 10 years. Doctors need to develop better ways of monitoring patients during follow up so we can intervene as quickly as possible with further treatments. Measuring DNA in the blood which has come from the tumour, so called circulating tumour DNA (ctDNA), may be one way to do this.
Start dates may differ between countries and research sites. The research team are responsible for keeping the information up-to-date.
The recruitment start and end dates are as follows:
