Tissue Repository of Airway Cancers for Knowledge Expansion of...
Metastatic lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in Australia. Research to improve outcomes is hindered by access to appropriate tissue, representing an area of unmet need. This project will establish a bio and data bank including, minimally invasive endobronchial ultrasound tumour samples, liquid biopsies, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid collected over a patients cancer journey. By applying innovative multiomic approaches, the project will discover novel drivers of immunotherapy resistance. To improve health outcomes, all samples and data will be available for further research, establishing a large clinically matched multiomics dataset to inform future clinical trials and integrate with therapeutic data platforms.
