Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group:

Note to institutions: Use of these videos for patient education requires approval of your institution's IRB.

This research is being done because it is unknown if taking selenium can prevent the development of second lung cancers.

The purpose of this study is to find out if a high selenium yeast tablet can prevent new lung cancers in people with surgically removed non-small cell lung cancer. The study will compare how the high selenium yeast affects patients with surgically removed lung cancer when compared to a placebo yeast.

You can find additional information about lung cancer and its treatment at the following web sites:
