Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Studying samples of pleural fluid in the laboratory from patients with lung cancer may help doctors identify early lung cancer cells. It may also help the study of lung cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at malignant pleural effusion samples from patients with primary lung cancer to see if early lung cancer cells can be identified.
