PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To estimate the sensitivity and specificity of the fluid biopsy in establishing a diagnosis of bronchogenic carcinoma.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To determine the accuracy of determination of the histologic subtype of bronchogenic lung cancer.
II. To determine the relative contribution of cell based high definition circulating tumor cell assay (HD-CTC) and imaging mass cytometry (IMC) and plasma based circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA) assays in determination of diagnosis and histologic subtype.
OUTLINE:
Patients undergo collection of blood samples on day 1 for analysis via high definition (HD)-single cell analysis (SCA) fluid biopsy. Medical charts of patients are reviewed at 3 months post-biopsy or computed tomography (CT) screening.
After completion of study, patients are followed for up to 1 year.
