This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393), provides $368,288 to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University to conduct research on molecular factors that contribute to disparate lung cancer outcomes for patients of African ancestry. The key objectives are to: 1) Determine how EGFR signaling differs based on patient genetic ancestry; 2) Quantify the interplay between EGFR activation, co-mutations, ancestry, and treatment outcomes; and 3) Identify novel therapeutic strategies more effective for patients of African ancestry. This research aims to provide critical insights into mechanisms underlying lung cancer outcome disparities and develop improved treatment regimens to benefit all patients. The project period runs from December 4, 2024 to November 30, 2029.
