Lung cancer translational research

The Lung Cancer Translational Research Group (GITCaP) is dedicated to the research and treatment of thoracic tumors, with a multidisciplinary team of oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, pulmonologists and other specialists. Their lines of research focus on identifying predictive markers of treatment efficacy and improving patient survival and quality of life. In addition, they collaborate in clinical trials and projects on microbiota, blood biomarkers, cancer in non-smokers and the impact of radon. They also investigate the use of artificial intelligence in radiology and the promotion of physical exercise to reduce inflammation.
