Start Date

May 1, 2001

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

RATIONALE: Studying samples of tumor tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in RNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. PURPOSE: This research study is collecting and analyzing lung tissue samples from patients undergoing surgery for non-small cell lung cancer.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is collecting lung tumor tissue samples from patients undergoing surgery for non-small cell lung cancer to study the molecular features of the tumor and understand what predicts treatment response. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer - Your cancer is at an early stage (Stage I or II) and can be fully removed by surgery - You are being treated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center or an affiliated center - Tumor tissue will be available at the time of surgery **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You received chemotherapy before surgery - You received radiation therapy before surgery Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
