Summary

This research study collects blood, tumor tissue, and other body fluids from 1,000 adults with lung cancer, thymus cancer, or mesothelioma. The goal is to analyze these samples to find biological markers that could predict how the disease will progress or which treatments might work best. Participants provide samples and complete a questionnaire, but no experimental treatment is given.
