What is Involved With this Study?

Study Participants do not need to come to Mayo Clinic to participate.

As a study participant you will:

• Complete a study survey regarding your medical and family history.


• At your convenience, have a blood sample drawn at your local doctor's office with the blood kit that we will provide. You will donate a small amount of blood (approx. 5 tablespoons). The study will cover the cost of the blood draw.


• If you have had previous cancers or lung conditions, we would ask for your permission to obtain your medical records. We would ask that you sign an 'Authorization to Release Medical Records' form (which allows us to look at your medical records and request a small sample of any remaining tissue that may have been taken as part of your regular medical care). There will be no cost to you.

How long will the Study run?

You will be involved in the study for/until the study has reached its completion.
