RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood and tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help the study of cancer in the future.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is analyzing the DNA in blood and tissue samples from patients with lung cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This began as a case-control study, but is currently case only.
Blood samples are collected from patients and controls. Samples are analyzed by polymerase chain reaction for gene polymorphisms. Genes to be studied include GSTP1, GSTM1, GSTT1, ERCC2, XRCC1, EPHX, NAT-2, p53 gene, CYP1A1, NQO1, MnSOD, and GPX1. Tissue samples collected from patients undergoing surgery and blood samples are archived for future studies.
Patients and controls complete questionnaires about diet, medical history, and occupational/environmental history.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3,400 patients and 3,400 controls will be accrued for early phases of this study. Total enrollment to reach 15,000.
