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 studying biomarkers in blood samples from patients with refractory non-small cell lung cancer previously treated with sorafenib tosylate.
Detailed Description:
OBJECTIVES:
* To determine the mutation rates of BRAF, KRAS, and EGFR in patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with sorafenib tosylate on protocol ECOG-2501.
* To determine the association between BRAF, KRAS, or EGFR mutation status and clinical benefits in patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
DNA is isolated from archived plasma samples and analyzed for BRAF, KRAS, and EGFR mutations.
