Comprehensive Genomic Analysis in Tissue Samples From Patients With Recurrent or Stage IV Non-small Cell Lung Cancer

Inclusion Criteria: * Stage IV or recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer patients who either have archival tissue for genomic analysis or are willing to undergo a new biopsy to obtain tumor tissue for genomic analysis. Patients whose tumor has already undergone genomic analysis will be eligible. * Zubrod performance status 0-2 * Life expectancy \>= 3 months * Absolute neutrophil count of \> 1.5 x 10\^9/L * Platelet count \> 100,000 x 10\^9/L * Serum creatinine =\< 1.5 times the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) or calculated creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault formula) of \> 45 mL/min * Serum bilirubin =\< 1.5 X ULN * Transaminases (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\] and/or serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 2.5 times institutional ULN and alkaline phosphatase =\< 2.5 times ULN, unless patient has liver metastases and the managing physician believes that the elevation in liver enzymes is only related to the liver metastases * Laboratory tests should be done within 30 days of enrollment on the trial * A biopsy of the patient's tumor for genomic profiling is required; this biopsy specimen can be an already obtained diagnostic specimen provided the patient has not received systemic therapy since the biopsy has been obtained and was obtained within 60 days of trial enrollment. The biopsy material cannot be from a tumor site that has been radiated. * Signed informed consent that details the investigational nature of the study according to in…
