• Genetic and gene-environment interactions
• Interactions and contributions of multiple factors (e.g. smoking, genetics, environment, societal factors) to disparities in lung cancer outcomes
• Contribution of healthcare access and quality to disparities in outcomes
• Disparities related to other factors such as geography, socioeconomic status, and age
