Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT01775072Recruiting
Genetic testing using stored or new cancer samples
This study collects and analyzes genetic information from tissue or blood samples to help understand cancer and related inherited (family) risk. It may involve testing results being shared with you or your care team, depending on what samples are available.
Bridgeport, ConnecticutAges Any age - NCT01514045Recruiting
Gastric cancer registry for patients and certain family members
This study builds a registry (a secure database) to learn about people with gastric cancer, people at higher risk because of family history, and people with a specific inherited gene change. Being in the registry may help researchers understand causes and improve future care.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01050504Recruiting
Donate blood and tissue to study recurrent or metastatic cancers
This study collects and studies blood and, when possible, small tissue samples from people with prostate or bladder/urothelial cancer that has come back or spread. The goal is to better understand these cancers and support future research that may lead to better care.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT01173341Enrolling by invitation
Checking heart side effects of breast cancer treatments
This study looks at how breast cancer medicines affect the heart. It may help doctors better prevent, spot early, and manage heart side effects from trastuzumab and/or anthracycline chemotherapy.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00899301Recruiting
Banking breast cancer and related tissue samples for future studies
This study collects and stores tissue and fluid samples from people with a breast lump or breast cancer so researchers can study cancer biology in the future. It may help future patients by allowing better lab tests and research on why breast cancer starts, grows, and comes back.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT01000883Recruiting
Biopsy study linking breast cancer tissue markers to treatment response
This study looks at breast cancer samples taken by biopsy to see how tissue “molecular markers” relate to how you respond to therapy and how the cancer behaves. It may help researchers better match future treatments to the biology of your tumor.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT00897117Recruiting
Providing tumor tissue samples during lung cancer surgery
This study collects and analyzes tumor tissue from people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who are planning surgery. It may help researchers learn more about the cancer by studying samples taken at the time of your operation.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–120 - NCT00949819Recruiting
Active surveillance study for localized prostate cancer
This trial studies a “watchful waiting” approach, where doctors closely monitor certain prostate cancers with regular checkups and repeat biopsies. It may help people avoid or delay treatment side effects while watching for signs the cancer needs treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 30–85 - NCT00588185Recruiting
Pet scans for advanced prostate or salivary gland cancer
This study uses special PET scans to get a detailed picture of prostate or salivary gland cancer that is getting worse. The scans may help doctors see the cancer more clearly and plan better treatment.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges Any age - NCT00493688Recruiting
Tracking energy changes during surgery in esophageal or lung cancer
This study looks at how your body uses energy during surgery and whether those patterns relate to how well you do after surgery. It may help doctors better predict outcomes for people with newly diagnosed esophageal or lung cancer who are preparing for treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00539162Recruiting
CA-125 and other tests to check for early ovarian cancer risk
This study looks at how well a blood test called CA-125, along with other markers and checkups, can detect ovarian cancer early. It’s for women considered low risk who will do regular blood tests and possibly a vaginal ultrasound if results suggest it.
Miami, FloridaAges 50–74 - NCT00515060Recruiting
Study pain testing in cancer patients and healthy volunteers
This trial uses controlled, short-term pain testing (a “pain study”) to better understand how pain works during and after certain cancer treatments. It may help researchers improve how cancer therapy pain is measured and managed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00033137Recruiting
Genetic study of Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome and kidney cancer risk
This research study examines the genes behind Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) syndrome, a condition that increases kidney cancer risk. Researchers want to understand who inherits this condition and how to better identify and help people at risk.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2 years+ - NCT00001186Recruiting
Camping for children and teens with cancer
This study looks at whether a special camp experience helps children and young adults with cancer feel better emotionally and socially. Campers participate in normal camp activities while receiving any medical care they need.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 7–25 - NCT07884110Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer
This trial studies whether a liver transplant can be a safe and effective treatment for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to remove the liver tumors and replace the liver with a healthy one, potentially offering a chance for a longer, cancer-free life.
