Prospective Data Collection Initiative on Thoracic Malignancies

Patients who consented to the completion of questionnaires will be invited to complete questionnaires on multiple time points but not more often than once every 3 months. The length of time required for the completion of questionnaires will not exceed 150 minutes a year.

Tissue and other biomaterial, such as pleural effusion, is collected from material obtained during a diagnostic procedure or surgical resection. No additional interventional procedures are performed to obtain the material.

Blood samples can be withdrawn on multiple time points with a maximum of 10 tubes of 10 ml per year during routine blood withdrawals (or in exceptional cases with an additional blood withdrawal).
