Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Extra tissue will be taken from patient during a procedure in standard of care. Also, through an existing line, 10ml of extra blood will be drawn. From this material the investigator will try to establish matched normal and primary human lung cancer organoids.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Lung (tumor) material obtained from biopsies or surgical resection material that is not needed by the pathologist for diagnosis (i.e. to stage the patient or to perform molecular diagnosis) will be collected and used for the generation of matched normal and lung cancer organoids and/or PDX.

Biopsy material: Patients with (suspected) lung cancer will undergo a bronchoscopy or endobronchial ultrasound guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS/EUS-TBNA) bronchoscopy for the collection of a lung / lymph node biopsy. Biopsies are collected according to standard of care procedures for i.e. the initial diagnosis and staging of lung cancer, and molecular profiling of recurrent tumors. During the standard of care biopsy procedure, an extra biopsy (lung and/or lymph node) will be collected and used for the generation of lung (cancer) organoids:

* Bronchoscopy: biopsy-derived lung (tumor) tissue from endobronchial tumors
* EBUS/EUS-TBNA bronchoscopy: cytology-derived lung (tumor) cells from mediastinal lymph nodes

A 10 ml blood sample will only be collected at the moment blood must be drawn according to standard of care procedures or when the patient has received an intravenous drip. The patient therefore does not require to undergo additional procedures.

Resection material: Patients who are selected to undergo surgical removal of a primary lung cancer will be included. The (tumor) material that will be used to make organoids and PDX will be derived from remaining healthy and tumor tissue that is not needed for the pathologist to make a diagnosis, to stage the patient or to perform a molecular diagnosis. The patient therefore does not require to undergo additional treatments or procedures. A 10 ml blood sample will be collected at the moment blood must be drawn pre-operatively according to standard of care procedures or from the intravenous drip the patient will receive before start surgery. The patient therefore does not require to undergo additional procedures.

Collection of clinical data: Clinical data will be collected from existing standard of care data:

* Histology
* Date diagnosis lung cancer
* TNM classification (eight edition)
* If performed, molecular analysis data such as Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation, Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK) translocation, Kirsten Rat Sarcoma (KRAS) viral oncogene homolog mutation etc. (Type of test, results)
* PD-L1 status if available. If available, type of test and PD-L1%
* Type, dose, and date of treatment the patient received before and/or after the collection tumor biopsy (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, immunotherapy). If applicable, also the date and dose of all cycles.
