Study Summary

DCAMLK1 is a Ca2+ - ca/modulin (CaM) - dependent protein kinase that is a marker of stem cells in colonic crypts. Mutations within the stem cell population are thought to be responsible for the development of most colorectal carcinomas and studies have shown that DCAMLK1 is highly expressed in these tumors. Since the lung is an embryological development of the foregut, the investigators speculate that DCAMLK1 will also be upregulated in lung cancers. The aim of this pilot study is to measure DCAMLK1 levels in the blood of patients with suspected malignant and benign lung diseases, and to correlate DCAMKL1 levels with smoking status.
