Overview
The DNA repair capacity (DRC) is a measure of a cell’s ability to repair DNA damage. High levels of DNA damage are observed in many lung diseases, including lung cancer and chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD, sometimes referred to as emphysema or chronic bronchitis). We believe that patients with a lower DRC may be at higher risk for development of lung diseases including lung cancer and COPD.
Description
Participants will complete a blood draw and answer a few questions related to the research. Researchers may also review participants' medical record.
