Brief Summary
The LTRC will facilitate histopathological research of pulmonary diseases by collecting lung tissues from donors and preparing and distributing collections of tissue specimens to researchers within and outside the LTRC. Collections of specimens will be linked to individual clinical data appropriate to the particular disease. The primary goal of the LTRC is to identify participants with suspected lung cancer or metastatic disease who are willing to provide informed consent for research use of their specimens and data. Secondarily, the LTRC investigators intend to collect clinical data, limited exposure data, physiologic studies, and radiographic studies from these participants.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Clinical diagnosis
A final diagnosis of the participant's lung disease will be rendered by the clinical center PI.
Two months following surgery
Study Arms (1)
Lung biopsy/lobectomy
Adults ages 21 or older who are undergoing lung surgery for suspected malignancy or metastases.
Interventions
Lung biopsies and lobectomies are not experimental. Participants will undergo a lung biopsy or a lobectomy as part of standard of care.
Eligibility Criteria
Adults ages 21 or older who are undergoing lung surgery for suspected malignancy or metastases.
You may qualify if:
- Adults ages 21 or older who are undergoing lung surgery for suspected malignancy or metastases.
You may not qualify if:
- Diagnosis of cystic fibrosis or pulmonary hypertension.
- Any other condition that, in the judgment of the investigator, precludes participation.
- Failure to obtain written consent.

Biospecimen
For a subset of LTRC participants who provide applicable consent, a portion of collected blood will be stored in a Paxgene DNA tube for DNA generation. DNA will be stored in a central laboratory and available for request by qualified researchers.

Qualified researchers may submit an application for access to LTRC participant data including clinical and pathological diagnoses, radiological images (CT scans) and diagnoses, environmental and occupational exposure questionnaires, respiratory questionnaires and assessments, pulmonary function testing, concomitant therapy, medical history, smoking history, and laboratory measures. Gene array data are also available for a subset of participants. All data are de-identified. No protected health information is released to researchers external to LTRC.
