Molecular Analysis of Thoracic Malignancies
A research study to learn about the biologic features of cancer development, growth, and spread. We are studying components of blood, tumor tissue, normal tissue, and other fluids, such as urine, cerebrospinal fluid, abdominal or chest fluid in patients with cancer. Our analyses of blood, tissue, and/or fluids may lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of cancer by the identification of markers that predict clinical outcome, markers that predict response to specific therapies, and the identification of targets for new therapies.

Who may be able to participate
The sponsor separates these requirements into two groups. You do not need to interpret them alone—use them to guide a conversation with the study team.
1.Histologically proven diagnosis of non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, thymoma, thymic carcinoma, mesothelioma, or carcinoma of unknown primary consistent with the presentation of a primary thoracic malignancy. 2.18 years of age or older. 3.Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
Important: This is the sponsor’s public criteria, not a determination of eligibility. The study team must review your individual situation.
