A report suggests that Lung-MAP, which for almost a decade has undergirded the first NCI-sponsored precision medicine clinical trial in lung cancer, can serve as a model for future clinical research that is more rapid, innovative, and inclusive.
A multidisciplinary team of experts in lung cancer screening and implementation science from the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center, the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, was awarded a $2.5 million grant from the Bristol Myers Squibb Foundation, an independent charitable organization, to spearhead a new initiative aimed at reducing disparities in lung cancer screening across Los Angeles County.
