Trial Information

Serum, Plasma, DNA and Tissue Bank of Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, Lung Cancer and Smoking Controls.


All patients with a smoking history of at least 15 pack years, an minimal age of 50 years
and an recent available CT scan are enrolled.

All subjects with a diagnosis of lung cancer are also collected (irrespective of age and
smoking behavior).

In addition the investigators collect:

- specific questionnaires (MRC, CCQ and smoking history)

- medical and professional history

- complete pulmonary function (spirometry, bodyplethysmography and diffusing capacity)

- serum, plasma and DNA samples.

In specific subgroups the investigators also collect:

- Peripheral blood mononuclear cells

- Lung tissue - if available - from a surgical procedure (lung transplantation or
lobectomy)

Inclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria for smokers:

- Less than 15 pack years

- Younger than 50 year

- Other pulmonary diseases interfering with CT or pulmonary function

- Asthma

Inclusion Criteria for lung cancer patients:

- new diagnosis of proven lung cancer

- chest CT scan within 2 months of enrollment

- Complete pulmonary function

Exclusion Criteria for lung cancer patients

- not able to perform pulmonary function

- Absence of histological diagnosis of lung cancer
