Surgery Branch Screening for Cancer Treatment Studies
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This is a screening evaluation to see if you might be eligible for cancer treatment research studies at the National Cancer Institute's Surgery Branch. Doctors will review your medical history, imaging, and test results to determine which clinical trials might be right for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with cancer or are suspected of having cancer (confirmed by biopsy or imaging)
- You are able to understand the study information and willing to sign a consent form
- You are being considered for treatment in one of the NCI Surgery Branch's clinical research studies
- If you are a woman who could become pregnant, you are not currently pregnant and do not plan to become pregnant during screening (some imaging tests could be harmful to a fetus)

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
This study asks people age 18+ who were previously treated on certain NCI Surgery Branch (NCI-SB) studies to come back for follow-up. It helps researchers understand how patients do over time after those earlier treatments, including some gene therapy studies.
This study collects blood and tumor tissue samples from patients with certain untreated cancers to help researchers develop and improve tests. You may be eligible if you have one of the listed cancer types and have not yet started treatment.
This study looks for cancer-related material in blood, urine, and sometimes bone marrow. It may help researchers understand how to detect cancer activity and track it over time using less invasive tests.
This study collects blood samples to “test and store” (bank) information that may help doctors understand cancer in the future. You might be able to join if you’re an adult with confirmed cancer or a higher-than-usual risk for cancer.
This study tests the genes of your cancer to learn more about advanced breast, lung, melanoma, or sarcoma tumors. It may help doctors find better ways to treat these cancers in the future.
This study looks at colorectal cancer patients who are planning curative surgery and collects related outcomes and lab “biomarker” information to better understand the disease. Your participation may help researchers connect test results to treatment results over time.
