Obtaining Solid Tumor Tissue From People Having Biopsy or Surgery for Certain Types of Cancer

Collection of Solid Tumor Tissue for Cancer Research

Recruiting
2 years and older
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates certain types of cancer. The purpose of this study is to collect tissue samples from people who are having a biopsy or surgery at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center.

Researchers will use these tissue samples to study new ways to treat tumors. They are looking to identify new therapeutic targets that could help in developing future cancer therapies.

  • Who can participate: Individuals 2 years and older with a precancerous or cancerous solid tumor scheduled for surgery or biopsy at the NIHCC can participate.
  • Study details: Participants will have a small blood sample taken before their procedure. During surgery or biopsy, pieces of the tumor and nearby normal tissue will be removed for the study. Participants will return for a routine checkup about 6 weeks after the operation.
