Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Patients with a known prior history of lung cancer or that have undergone a Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) procedure at any time in the past in the involved lung targeted for BAL.
- Patients that have had any prior lung or thoracic or surgeries or procedures (examples: removal of lung or portions of the involved lung (lobectomy, pneumonectomy, wedge resection/segmentectomy).
Other
- Patients with specimens that are considered to be non-adequate as true Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid (BALF) (i.e., absence of alveolar macrophages) after pathologist's evaluation will be excluded from the study.
Who the study is looking for
- English or Spanish-speaking patients scheduled for bronchoscopy/bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in thoracic clinics at Moffitt.
