The investigators will collect fibrocytes (CD45+Col-1+) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The investigators hypothesize that patients with NSCLC experience expansion of immunosuppressive fibrocytes, which are predicted to augment tumor growth by mediating immune escape in NSCLC patients.
Fibrocytes have been described in both mice and humans, where they bear a hematopoietic progenitor phenotype (CD45+Col-1+). Fibrocytes have previously been described in murine cancer, implicated as mediators of tumor immune escape. In this study, the investigators will collect fibrocytes including CD45+Col-1+ expression. The cells express indoleamine oxidase, which is primarily responsible for their immunosuppressive properties. The investigators hypothesize that patients with non-small cell lung cancer experience expansion of immunosuppressive fibrocytes, which are predicted to augment tumor growth by mediating immune escape in non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will be enrolled and evaluated from 2013 to 2016. Disease in all cases was staged with computed tomography (CT) of the chest, breast (if resectable) and positron emission tomography (PET, if resectable) within 3 months before enrollment.
