Scientific Questions Being Studied

What behavioral, environmental, and biological factors contribute to the racial and ethnic minority disparities in lung cancer incidence between Asian, Black, and Hispanic-Latino (A/B/H-L) compared with non-Hispanic White populations?
How do these factors differ for primary and secondary lung cancer across these groups?

Project Purpose(s)

  • Educational

Scientific Approaches

We plan to utilize the All of Us research database, the All of Us Workbench to complete data analysis, a case-control study design, and basic statistical tools, such as odds ratios and machine learning in Python.

Anticipated Findings

We hypothesize that, in addition to smoking, other biological, environmental, and behavioral risk factors may play an important role in lung cancer development, disease progression, and prognoses. We hypothesize that such etiology will differ across race/ethnicity. We plan on performing a case-control and case-case study to uncover epidemiological trends in lung cancer, and we anticipate finding other important markers in the pathophysiology of lung cancer.
