Frequency of EGFR Mutations in Latinos/Hispanics With Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Study summary

Background: \- Research has shown that the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene is an important target for personalized lung cancer treatment. Individuals who have mutations in the EGFR gene have better responses when treated with certain personalized or targeted therapies compared with conventional chemotherapy. These mutations are more frequent in females with lung cancer who have never smoked, and different ethnic groups have different levels of frequency of the mutations. Researchers are interested in collecting more information on EGFR genetic mutations in Hispanics/Latinos with lung cancer, comparing the frequency of these mutations in males and females and smokers and nonsmokers. This study may lead to better, more personalized care approaches for all individuals with lung cancer. Objectives: \- To study the frequency of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor mutations in Hispanic/Latino individuals who have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer. Eligibility: \- Hispanic or Latino individuals who have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer and who have lung tissue from a previous biopsy or surgery available for research purposes. Design: * Participants will provide consent for researchers to examine lung tissue collected from a previous biopsy or surgery. * Treatment will not be provided as part of this protocol.

Public criteria

Who may be able to participate

The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.

Requirements people may need to meetInclusion criteria

  • patients with histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer. Hispanic or Latino\
  • patients with histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer. \
  • For the purpose of this study, the terms Hispanic or Latino is defined as an individual who either self identifies as Hispanic or Latino or was born in any Latin American country. Tumor samples from deceased Hispanic or Latino individuals with histologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer for which basic clinical information is available Pathological waste or surplus stored identified or coded non-small cell lung cancer specimens from Hispanic or Latino individuals for which there is linked clinical information but the location of the person is not feasible to determine.
Reasons someone may not be able to joinExclusion criteria

Patients born in Europe, Asia, Africa or Australia are excluded.

Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
