Subjects who smoke cigarettes daily for at least 20 years (not necessarily 20 years in a row). 4. Subjects with smoking history of at least 20 pack-years (can be discontinuous). (Pack-year is a way to measure the amount a person has smoked over a long period of time. It is calculated by multiplying the number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day by the number of years the person has smoked. For example, 1 pack year is equal to smoking 1 pack per day for 1 year, or 2 packs per day for half a year, and so on) 5. If former smoker, the subject has quit smoking within the past 15 years. 10,11 6. Subjects who have not gone through treatments (surgery, drugs, radiation). 7. Subjects or Legally Acceptable Representative (for the subjects with low literacy) who provides informed consent. 8. Free of significant diseases or clinically significant abnormal findings during screening, medical history, physical examination, 12 Lead Electrocardiogram (12 Lead ECG), chest X-Ray and laboratory evaluations (haematology, serum chemistry, urine analysis). Cohort II and Cohort III: 1. Patients diagnosed with Stage I/II/III/IV lung cancer, most likely NSCLC a. Stage I/II lung cancer (Cohort II Only) b. Stage III/IV lung cancer (Cohort III Only) 2. Male and/or female patients aged 50-80 years.10 3. Patients with smoking history of at least 20 pack-years. 4. If former smoker, the patient has quit smoking within the past 15 years. 5. Patients who have not gone through treatment (surgery, drugs, radiation). 6. Patients or Legally Acceptable Representative (for the patients with low literacy) who provides informed consent.

Any other medical condition, as per the discretion of the investigator, precludes the subject’s participation in the study. Cohort II and Cohort III: 1. Patient with the habit of tobacco chewing. 2. Patient with previous diagnosis of lung cancer except stage IV in case of metastasis (spread of cancer to other parts of body). The patient can be included in the stage IV (Cohort III) in case of metastasis. 3. Patient with previous history/treatment of any kind of cancer. 4. Patients who have completed treatments for any kind of cancer (surgery, drugs, radiation). 5. Patients with recent myocardial infarction (MI) history (within 6 months). 6.
