The article focuses on the collection and processing of lung tissue for imaging mass cytometry (IMC) analysis, detailing the sources and methods for obtaining control and emphysematous lung samples. Topics include the selection criteria for control tissue from lung cancer patients and the informed consent process for both control and emphysematous lung tissue obtained from patients undergoing lung volume reduction surgery.
