- Conditions
- Lungcancer
- Interventions
- Genetic: lung cancer
- Registration Number
- NCT04321499
- Lead Sponsor
- University Hospital, Essen
- Brief Summary
Data on SHOX2 and PTGER4 DNA Methylation suggest possible use as a biomarker for early lung cancer diagnosis.
In this study a control group consisting of COPD patients with a CT-scan of the chest no older than 6 weeks and a control group of patients with a nodule and ruled out diagnosis of lung cancer will be included.
SHOX2 and PTGER4 will be analyzed via PCR.
