Expected Enrollment 1000A total of 1,000 patients will be accrued for this study within 2 years. Outline Patients undergo lung resection. Patients also undergo preoperative and postoperative collection of whole blood and serum for proteomic profiling using surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization-time of flight mass spectrometry. A lung tissue biopsy taken at surgery is also analyzed. Patients are followed at 60-90 days and then annually for 2-5 years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol. Back to Top |
