Lung Cancer Study Group at UCLA

  • In 1977, there was an absence of lung cancer cooperative study groups at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The NCI appointed UCLA as one of only seven sites and created the prestigious research group called the Lung Cancer Study Group (LCSG). The LCSG made significant contributions to staging, surgery, medical treatments and standards of care that are practiced today. Dr. E. Carmack Holmes is a founding member and chairman of this group.
