A study looking at new ways to diagnose and monitor people with diseases of the lung lining (SPOTLight)

This study is for people living with diseases of the lung lining (pleura).

The researchers are looking at how living with these conditions can affect people’s quality of life. They are also:

• using blood samples, fluid from the lung lining and tissue samples to find out if there are better ways to test for, and monitor, these conditions

• looking for ways to predict how well treatment might work

The study is for people having care at Southmead hospital which is part of the North Bristol NHS Trust.
