Clinton H. Doerr, MD
Mayo Graduate School of Medicine, Rochester, MN
Funded by LUNGevity Foundation in collaboration with The CHEST Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the American College of Chest Physicians
Tests that improve the ability to detect tumors at their earliest stages have the potential to reduce lung cancer mortality. Dr. Doerr developed three fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe sets for the detection of lung cancer in cell specimens. His research is assessing the reliability of these probe sets and routine cell examination for the detection of lung cancer in cell specimens obtained from bronchoscopy.
