Overview
Brief Summary
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.
Detailed 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.
