November 30, 2018 - LCFA Award Recipients of 2018
Lung Cancer Foundation of America (LCFA) and the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) awarded a pair of two-year grants to support lung cancer research to Dr. Kellie Smith and Dr. Haiying Cheng.
Dr. Kellie Smith will perform a detailed analysis of the immune system and how it changes upon treatment in never-smoker NSCLC patients.
Dr. Haiying Cheng will investigate the frequencies of the RICTOR gene in general lung cancer patients, whether its presence predicts brain metastasis, and why it is associated with brain metastasis.
