Collecting cells from leftover surgery tissue for lab testing
This trial collects discarded tissue from certain surgeries and grows it in the lab to study cell culture methods. It may help researchers improve how they prepare and use cells for future medical research.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a surgery being done by one of the surgeon co-investigators.
- During your surgery, leftover (“discarded”) tissue may be available to collect.
- You are being operated on by an eligible study surgeon team.
- Your tissue would only be harvested if it is considered discard material from the operating room.
- You must be able to have the study staff review and follow any consent process required for tissue collection.

This study looks at people who have had a standard-of-care biopsy or surgical tissue removal for a solid organ cancer. The goal is to test how treatment options work based on the information from those tissue samples.
This study collects and stores small tissue samples from people who have surgery or a biopsy for a suspected solid (non-blood) tumor. It helps researchers study these cancers for future testing and research.
This trial studies whether analyzing leftover tissue from cancer surgery can help researchers learn more about tumors. It may help improve future diagnosis or treatment by making use of tissue that would otherwise be discarded.
This study collects tiny pieces of tissue that would normally be thrown away during heart or bone surgery. Researchers will use these samples to better understand how tissues work and develop better treatments. Your participation involves letting doctors keep and study a small amount of tissue removed during your scheduled surgery.
This study collects small tissue samples from women having surgery for breast cancer. The samples are stored to help researchers learn more and develop better treatments in the future.
This trial collects a small piece of your tumor right after it is removed during surgery. Researchers will study this tissue to learn more about cancer and how it responds to treatments.
