RECRUITING

Biomarkers in Patients With Respiratory Tract Dysplasia or Lung Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, or Aerodigestive Tract Cancer and in Normal Volunteers

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

RATIONALE: Studying samples of sputum and tissue in the laboratory from patients with dysplasia or cancer may help doctors identify and learn more about biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at biomarkers in patients with respiratory tract dysplasia or lung cancer, head and neck cancer, or aerodigestive tract cancer.

  7. * Routine panendoscopy for patients with head and neck cancer
  8. * Resection of a bronchogenic carcinoma
  9. * Bronchoscopy for diagnosis or staging of suspected lung cancer
  10. * Subsequent bronchoscopy for surveillance or monitoring of response to endobronchial treatment in patients with prior high-grade dysplasia or worse
  11. * No asthma
  12. * No lung disease
  13. * No respiratory illness within the past 2 weeks Patients suspected of or at risk for neoplastic lung disease who are undergoing a bronchoscopy in which differential diagnostic considerations may include multiple other etiologies such as infection and other processes.

  22. * Well-controlled atrial fibrillation or rare (\< 2/min) premature ventricular contractions allowed
  23. * No ventricular tachycardia or supraventricular tachycardia with a rapid ventricular response
  24. * No other serious medical condition that would preclude a patient from undergoing a bronchoscopy
  25. * No acute bronchitis or pneumonia within the past 8 weeks except when clinically proven as a possible result of lung cancer
  26. * No hypoxemia (i.e., \< 90% saturation with supplemental oxygen) before bronchoscopy
  27. * See Disease Characteristics
