Penn leads $4 million grant to study gene-environment interactions in lung cancer

-year survival rate is less than 15 percent, notes Penning. This study provides the opportunity to identify those individuals who may be genetically pre-disposed to lung cancer. This genetic information could provide the impetus for high-risk individuals to enter smoking cessation programs. In addition, a better understanding of the relationship between pollution and genetic factors in lung cancer would inform agencies involved in urban planning and facilitate the formulation and implementation of environmental health policies.
