Brief Summary:
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.
PURPOSE: This research study is looking at blood samples from patients with non-small cell lung cancer and from healthy volunteers.
Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
* Measure plasma cathepsin D levels in patients with non-small cell lung cancer and in healthy volunteers using mass spectometry.
* Measure fatty acid synthase levels in these patients and healthy volunteers using mass spectometry.
OUTLINE: Blood samples are collected from patients and healthy volunteers to measure the levels of cathepsin D and fatty acid synthase by proteomic profiling and mass spectrometry.
