Study design:
Time perspective:
Prospective
Summary:
Research with biospecimens such as blood, tissue, or body fluids can help researchers
understand how the human body works. Researchers can make new tests to find diseases,
understand how treatments work, or find new ways to treat a disease. The purpose of this
study is to collect biospecimens for research from patients with known or suspected lung
cancer. The information learned from the biospecimens may be used in future treatments.
The purpose of this protocol is to create a pleural fluid registry for use in future
studies.
