Detailed Description

Primary objectives: To assemble a tissue/blood bank biorepository for laboratory translational research by collecting extra samples of bronchoalveolar lavage, pleural fluid, blood or other residual tissue obtained during normally scheduled clinical procedures for the evaluation of pulmonary toxicity To collect basic data on patient data and suspected pulmonary toxicity to cross-reference eligible biospecimens
