Brief Title: Lung Cancer Case Registry and Tissue Resource
Official Title: Lung Cancer Case Registry and Tissue Resource
Study ID: NCT00250848
Brief Summary: Potential participants in the Lung Cancer Case Registry will be all patients diagnosed or evaluated for possible treatment of lung cancer at the Cancer Research and Treatment Center (CRTC) and New Mexico Veterans Health Care System (NMVHCS).
Detailed Description: Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in the US in both men and women. This research study will enroll lung cancer patients into a registry to study changes in DNA (or genetic material) that may be associated with development of lung cancer or other lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We will also study the role of eating habits on lung cancer diagnosis and treatment, as well as the effects of the disease and treatment on quality of patient's lives.
