Extracellular Vesicles and Particles (EVP) as Biomarkers of Recurrence in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
Summary
The purpose of this study is to find out if fluid rinsed from peoples' airways (bronchial washing samples) during routine surgery to remove (resect) their non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tumors contains enough vesicles to do testing that may help the researchers learn more about their NSCLC.
Outcome measures
Primary
to isolate exosomes from bronchial washings
every patient from whom the essential specimens have been acquired will be evaluated to determine if more than 100,000 microvesicles can be isolated for exosome purification
