About this study
The purpose of this study is to collect medical and family histories, blood and/or tumor tissue samples from patients who are being tested for or who have or had lung cancer. This study will help us to develop better ways to screen people at risk for lung cancer and develop better treatments for patients diagnosed with lung cancer. This study will also help us to learn whether certain genes (inherited factors from your parents) increase the risk of developing lung cancer.
