Project Details

Description

A particular type of lung cancer, bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC), is generally not aggressive.  However, it can transform into adenocarcinoma, a more aggressive form of cancer. Dr. Wilgus is seeking to determine whether abnormalities in a specific chromosome are associated with progression of BAC to adenocarcinoma. This research has the potential to help identify which patients are likely to experience recurrence of cancer after surgery, so they can be provided with additional treatment.
