Getting lung cancer treatment at City of Hope means you are steps away from labs where exciting new therapies for lung cancer are being developed. That means the new and award-winning lung cancer research we are conducting moves quickly from the lab to our patients’ bedside.

Lung Cancer Research Projects

Some of our past and current research projects include:

• Developing an innovative biomarker tool to allow for more personalized lung cancer diagnosis and treatment
• Partnering with another organization to determine whether a blood test may help screen for lung cancer in some populations
• Evaluating whether certain proteins may be intolerant to standard treatments, allowing for targeted treatment to neutralize the proteins

City of Hope patients have access to a wide variety of lung cancer clinical trials such as the newest immunotherapy treatment and targeted therapy approaches — all with the goal of helping extend life.
