Funded Activity Summary

Lung cancer causes more deaths in Australia than any other cancer. Smoking is the main cause, but people exposed to asbestos are also at risk, and it can be difficult to know whether a case is due to tobacco, asbestos or both. We will study lung cancer genes in people with asbestos exposure to find whether asbestos lung cancer has a specific pattern of abnormal genes (signature). If so, this could help people entitled to compensation, and also point to new treatments for asbestos lung cancer
