This study examines the biological and social determinants that may increase the risk for lung cancer in patients and never-smoking individuals. Biological characteristics of a person can include their genetics and social determinants of a person can include their education, income, and environment, all of which can impact their health. Information collected in this study may help increase early detection of lung cancer.
