The goal of this clinical research study is learn about side effects and the success of bronchoscopies when performed in cancer patients with and without symptoms.
This is an investigational study.
Up to 110 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.

Bronchoscopy Data Collection
Medical information collected after bronchoscopy for up to 2 years.
|
Behavioral: Medical Data Collection
Medical information collected after bronchoscopy for up to 2 years. |
- Time to Any Complication Requiring Treatment [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Researchers will estimate the hazard function of time to any complications in the framework of competing risks while death is the competing risk.3 Researchers will graphically visualize the hazard function of time to any complications using Kernel smoothing method.
- Quality-Adjusted Survival [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Researchers will evaluate the relationship between covariates and quality-adjusted survival.
- Early Intervention [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Early intervention cases defined as those with anatomic narrowing and no or mild dyspnea (as measured by the Borg score).
- Late Intervention [ Time Frame: 2 years ]Late intervention cases defined as those with moderate or severe dyspnea due to airway narrowing.
