Brief summary
The primary objective is to identify a panel of plasma and/or serum proteins that differentiates the absence or presence of lung malignancy in samples obtained from subjects enrolled in this IRB/EC approved study with pulmonary nodules.
Detailed description
Blood samples are obtained from those patients undergoing procedures to determine if a lung nodule is benign or cancerous. The data from the study will not be used to guide or influence the treatment of the patients enrolled in this study. There is no change from the normal standard of care that patients receive.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Incidence rate of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer | 24 months after enrollment | The incidence rate of non-small cell lung cancer in the study population will be correlated to the predictive value of the Sponsor's blood test. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Panel of proteins | At the end of the study | The positive and negative predictive value of the test to differentiate between malignancy and inflammatory diseases such as granulomatous disorders. |
