About

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of tissue, blood, and sputum from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future.

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to collect and store tissue, blood, and sputum samples from patients with lung cancer to be tested in the laboratory.

Full description

OBJECTIVES:

• Establish a central lung cancer specimen repository to serve as a resource for current and future scientific studies.
• Correlate clinicopathologic information in the Southwest Oncology Group clinical data base with results of studies using the repository.
• Test new hypotheses with the specimens in the repository.

OUTLINE: Peripheral blood, sputum, and biopsy specimens are collected from patients. Tissue samples are frozen and stored in a lung cancer specimen repository for later use in correlative studies.
