Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • \- Adults \> 45 years of age, to be age matched with a previously enrolled cohort of current and ex-smokers with airflow obstruction and moderate atypia on sputum cytology, to be included in the following groups.
  • \- Non-smoking (less than 100 cigarettes per lifetime) controls \>50 years of age, to be age matched with a previously enrolled cohort with airflow obstruction (FEV1 \< 75% predicted and FEV1/FVC \< 75%) and moderate atypia on sputum cytology.
  • \- Current smokers with \> 30 pack years, no airflow obstruction (FEV1 \> 90% predicted) or lung cancer, \>50 years of age, to be age matched with a previously enrolled cohort with airflow obstruction and moderate atypia on sputum cytology .
  • \- No prior history of a head and neck or bronchogenic carcinoma.
  • \- Patients must be fully informed of the investigational nature of this study and must sign an informed consent in accordance with institutional and FDA guidelines.

Exclusion

  • \- Clinically apparent bleeding diathesis.
  • \- Cardiac dysrhythmia that is potentially life-threatening, such as ventricular tachycardia, multifocal premature ventricular contractions or supraventricular tachycardias with a rapid ventricular response. Well-controlled atrial fibrillation or rare (\< 2/minute) premature ventricular contractions are not exclusionary.
  • \- Hypoxemia (less than 90% saturation with supplemental oxygen) during bronchoscopy.
  • \- Evidence of clinically active coronary artery disease, including myocardial infarction within 6 weeks, chest pain, or poorly controlled congestive heart failure, or any other serious medical condition which would preclude a patient from undergoing a bronchoscopy.
  • \- Acute bronchitis or pneumonia within 8 weeks.
  • \- Inability to give informed consent.
  • \- Current smokers with no airflow obstruction may not have a history of coughing more than two times /week.
