  • Tumor Heterogeneity of the Tumor Microenvironment in Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to:

    1. Evaluate MPM tumor heterogeneity by determining the agreement of histology, molecular abnormalities, neo-antigen expression and immunological biomarkers between three tumor samples from MPM patients.

    2. Compare the information from tumor samples to pleural fluid, peripheral blood and density based radiomics analysis.

  • Thoracotomy Versus Thoracoscopic Management of Pulmonary Metastases in Patients With Osteosarcoma Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to determine if open surgical resection is superior to thoracoscopic resection for thoracic event-free survival (tEFS) in patients with resectable oligometastatic pulmonary osteosarcoma.

    Furthermore, to determine if open surgical resection is superior to thoracoscopy for event free survival (EFS), for overall survival (OS), and if thoracoscopy is superior to open surgical resection for postoperative pain interference in patients with resectable oligometastatic pulmonary osteosarcoma.

  • A Study of the Presence of Viral Pathogens in Culture-Negative, Non-Specific Pleuritis Rochester, MN

    The purpose of this study is to find the presence of virus pathogens in the pleural fluid of patients diagnosed with culture-negative, non-specific pleuritis using the FilmArray Respiratory Panel lab test.
