COPDGene® subjects will be screened through several mechanisms for enrollment into the Lung Cancer Database:
- The COPDGene® Phase 1 Longitudinal Follow-up Questionnaire.
- The COPDGene® Phase 2 Medical History Questionnaire at Visit 1
- Medical Records Collection through the Mortality Adjudication Committee
Potential cases will be those who respond yes to lung cancer will be contacted by phone by a study coordinator and be screened for the COPDGene® Lung Cancer Database. Medical records will be analyzed to determine the patient's cancer diagnosis, pathology, and treatment. Information will be collected at each individual institution, de-identified, and entered into the password-protected COPDGene® DCC lung cancer database, through a web-based interface. The survival data will be obtained through review of medical records or the Social Security Death Index in conjunction with the COPDGene® mortality adjudication committee. For the nested case-control study, controls will be matched from the those subjects on COPDGene who answered 'No' to the longitudinal follow-up question "have you been diagnosed with lung cancer" as per COPDGene protocol.
Medical records regarding the patient's cancer diagnosis, pathology and treatment will be collected following signed release of medical information from the patient. The following information will be collected and entered into a database. The survival data will be obtained through review of medical records or the Social Security Death Index.
i. Date of diagnosis ii. Type of specimen iii. Laterality iv. Lobe v. Record of any false positives (can be used as verified controls) b. Pathology Findings: i. Histology ii. Molecular Analysis, if done. iii. Stage (TNM classification) iv. Histologic grade c. Treatment i. Surgery ii. Radiation iii. Chemotherapy iv. Presentation at Tumor Board d. Outcomes i. Recurrence, Second primary cancers ii. Survival after cancer diagnosis, Cause of death Study coordinators at each site contact subjects who have self-reported lung cancer or were identified as having lung cancer by follow-up clinic visits and complete the lung cancer data form. The data collected on each subject is de-identified at the recruiting site prior to being downloaded into the COPDGene® DCC located at National Jewish Health. A lung cancer adjudication committee, including Drs. Carr and Bowler, will review each case for accuracy and completeness.

- Identify lung cancer variables [ Time Frame: 1.5 years ]Use existing COPDGene® quantitative HRCT and clinical data to perform a nested case-control study and perform a univariate analysis to select significant variables for the development of lung cancer.
- Probability of lung cancer based on variables [ Time Frame: 1.5 years ]Construct a multivariate model from the results of the univariate analysis to calculate the odds ratios for the variables that predict lung cancer
