Brief Summary:
The LTRC will facilitate histopathological research of pulmonary diseases by collecting lung tissues from donors and preparing and distributing collections of tissue specimens to researchers within and outside the LTRC. Collections of specimens will be linked to individual clinical data appropriate to the particular disease. The primary goal of the LTRC is to identify participants with suspected lung cancer or metastatic disease who are willing to provide informed consent for research use of their specimens and data. Secondarily, the LTRC investigators intend to collect clinical data, limited exposure data, physiologic studies, and radiographic studies from these participants.

Group/Cohort Intervention/treatment
Lung biopsy/lobectomy
Adults ages 21 or older who are undergoing lung surgery for suspected malignancy or metastases.
 Procedure: Lung biopsy/lobectomy
Lung biopsies and lobectomies are not experimental. Participants will undergo a lung biopsy or a lobectomy as part of standard of care.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Groups and Cohorts Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Clinical diagnosis [ Time Frame: Two months following surgery ]
    A final diagnosis of the participant's lung disease will be rendered by the clinical center PI.


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA
For a subset of LTRC participants who provide applicable consent, a portion of collected blood will be stored in a Paxgene DNA tube for DNA generation. DNA will be stored in a central laboratory and available for request by qualified researchers.
