Brief summary
This research studies protein in tumor samples from patients with non-small cell lung cancer. Finding specific proteins in tumor tissue samples from patients with cancer may help doctors tell what type of lung cancer a patient has and plan better treatment.
Detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To validate a novel 4-protein signature's ability to subtype non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in a treatment-naive, multi-institutional cohort, Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) 9761. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To estimate the NSCLC misclassification rate in a multi-institutional clinical-trial setting for stage 1 NSCLC (adenocarcinoma versus squamous cell). OUTLINE: Previously collected tissue samples are analyzed via hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Patients must have been registered on CALGB-9761 * Stage I disease * Treatment-naive patients * A representative paraffin block of the primary tumor must be available from patients on CALGB-9761 and submitted to the CALGB Pathology Coordinating Office * A separate consent form is not required for this study, as permission for research to be performed on the tissue blocks is included in the consent form for CALGB 9761 * Institutional review board (IRB) review and approval at the institution where the laboratory work will be performed is required
