A Study to Collect Medical and Personal Histories, Blood and/or Tumor Tissue Samples from Patients Who are Long-term Survivors of Lung Cancer

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to collect medical and personal histories, blood and/or tumor tissue samples from patients who are long-term survivors of lung cancer. This study will help us to develop better ways to provide care and advice, develop better treatments to minimize long-term side effects, and improve the quality of life and outcome of lung cancer patients. This study will also help us to learn whether certain genes (inherited factors from your parents) increase the risk of developing or dying of lung cancer.
