Summary

This research trial collects and stores tissue and blood samples from patients with cancer. Collecting and storing samples of tissue and blood from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help scientists create new and better models to learn about cancer and to test new cancer drugs.

Objectives

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To procure biologic tissues and materials to generate preclinical models of cancer.

OUTLINE:
Tumor tissue and blood samples are procured during procedures that are required for the patients’ clinical management and will be stored via xenograft (transplant to another species) models or in vitro cell culture for future analysis.

**Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. These studies test new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat diseases. People who take part in cancer clinical trials have an opportunity to contribute to scientists’ knowledge about cancer and to help in the development of improved cancer treatments. They also receive state-of-the-art care from cancer experts... Click here to learn more about clinical trials.
