Under 39, any sex, with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer or Small Cell Lung Cancer. Patients with the condition only — healthy volunteers not accepted.

Sponsor's own description

This research trial studies genomic analysis in tissue and blood samples from young patients with lung cancer. Identifying specific gene mutations (changes in deoxyribonucleic acid \[DNA\]) may help doctors tailor treatment to target the specific mutations and help plan effective treatment.
