Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Data on SHOX2 and PTGER4 DNA Methylation suggest possible use as a biomarker for early lung cancer diagnosis.

In this study a control group consisting of COPD patients with a CT-scan of the chest no older than 6 weeks and a control group of patients with a nodule and ruled out diagnosis of lung cancer will be included.

SHOX2 and PTGER4 will be analyzed via PCR.
