Collecting solid tumor samples during cancer biopsy or surgery
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial collects tissue (samples) from people who are already scheduled for biopsy or surgery for certain solid cancers. It aims to improve future testing and research while checking that taking the sample is safe and doesn’t add extra risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study collects tumor tissue and related blood tests from people who already need a biopsy or surgery as part of their usual care. Researchers use the samples to learn what drives the tumor and how the tumor environment may affect treatment, which could help develop future therapies.
This study collects tissue and/or blood samples from people with breast cancer to help future research. It may be useful if you’re already having surgery or another procedure as part of your treatment plan.
This study is collecting tissue samples from people with certain cancers while they have surgery or a biopsy. It may help researchers learn more about these cancers and improve future diagnosis and treatment.
This trial looks at collecting (taking) medical samples from people who need surgery for colorectal cancer, stomach (gastric) cancer, or a non-cancer condition. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and improve how treatment is planned.
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 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.
