Phase 2 Study of Circulating Tumor Cell in Non-Small Cell Lung Carcinoma
The purpose of this study is to establish the circulating tumor cell (CTC) assay as a
surrogate for tissue diagnosis of suspected primary lung cancer. This is done through
evaluating clinical and molecular markers to stratify the outcome/survival in patients with
thoracic malignancies treated at Yale University/Yale-New Haven Hospital, University of
California San Diego/Moores Cancer Center, Billings Clinic Cancer Center.

past two years.
- Recent history (past two weeks) of trauma (INCLUDING diagnostic surgery, biopsy, etc)
