Genetic Epidemiological Study of Lung Cancer in Taiwan and Clinical Applications-focusing on Female Lung Adenocarcinoma (GEFLAC)
This research proposal intends to integrate epidemiologists, biostatisticians, clinicians,
molecular biologists/geneticists to identify susceptible genes for lung cancer, especially
for female lung adenocarcinoma, and to study the relationship between gene polymorphisms and
clinical outcomes of lung cancer patients. Our objective is to find gene markers for
developing useful screening tools for the high risk group in order to prevent or early
detect lung cancer, especially female lung adenocarcinoma.
The specific aims of this subproject include:
1. Establish and maintain the research network that will recruit and follow up the
subjects and families for the GEFLAC study; keeping control of the progress of the
study.
2. Coordinate all the subprojects such as integrating genotyping data with clinical data
and environment data.
3. Continue to employ the candidate gene approach to examine the contribution of specific
genes to the lung cancer.
4. Generate genotyping data for candidate genes in the exploring stage and prioritize SNPs
of candidate genes for large scale studies.
5. Identify susceptible genes/candidate genes to develop multiplex PCR for screening.
