Brief Summary
The study team propose to develop a database and biorepository of Asian female never smokers. This population is at increased risk for developing lung cancer but do not meet current lung cancer screening criteria. Study procedures will include up to 3 low-dose CT (LDCT) scans and a blood-based assay with the capability for early detection of cancer. Clinical, demographic and exposure history including possible WTC exposure will also be collected.

Eligibility Criteria
Women of Asian/Asian continent ancestry and ethnic groups are eligible for this trial.
You may qualify if:
- Age 40-74 years
- Female
- Never Smoker defined as a lifetime exposure of less than 100 cigarettes
- Identify as from Asian descent, defined as having reported ancestry or race from the continent of Asia. Individuals with mixed heritage are eligible.
You may not qualify if:
- Prior history of lung cancer.
- Treatment for, or advisement by a physician of evidence of any cancer within the past five years, with the exceptions of non-melanoma skin cancer and most in-situ carcinomas based on PI discretion. (Treatment for, or evidence of, melanoma or in-situ bladder/transition cell carcinomas within the preceding five years renders the potential participant ineligible.)
- Participation in a cancer prevention trial.
- Present symptoms suggestive of current lung cancer, including: unexplained weight loss of over 15 pounds within the 12 months or unexplained hemoptysis.
- Medical or psychiatric condition precluding informed medical consent.
