The CALGB Lung Cancer Tissue Bank
OBJECTIVES:
- Collect and store frozen specimens of tumor, involved lymph node (when available), and
grossly uninvolved adjacent lung tissues obtained from patients during surgical staging
or resection of lung cancer, for later molecular analysis.
- Collect and store frozen blood samples from these patients, as a source of reference
DNA to assess somatic mutations associated with tumor or preneoplastic "normal" lung
and to assess levels of circulating markers.
- Correlate these analyses with historical, clinical, pathological, and outcome
information.
OUTLINE: Grossly viable tumor and grossly normal lung tissue are identified and removed from
patient surgical specimens and cryopreserved until shipment to the CALGB Lung Cancer Tissue
Bank for future use in research. Blood specimens are obtained pre- or intra-operatively and
shipped immediately to the Tissue Bank.
Patients do not receive the results of the research.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Samples from approximately 100 patients per year will be collected for at
least 5 years.
