This registry aims to collect blood, tissue, and fluid samples from people with thoracic diseases (conditions affecting the chest area), including lung cancer and those who have had lung transplants. The goal is to create a comprehensive collection of these samples to support research into the causes, early detection, treatment, and outlook for these conditions. Researchers hope to use these samples to discover new ways to screen, diagnose, and treat thoracic diseases. You may be able to join if you are over 18 years old and have a presumed or known thoracic disease. The study plans to enroll 7000 participants and will collect samples over approximately 10 years. The current recruitment status is unclear.
