Using Leftover Surgery Tissue for Research
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You must be informed about the study before surgery
- You must agree in writing that researchers can use your tissue sample
- You are not living with HIV (human immunodeficiency virus)
- You are not living with hepatitis (liver inflammation caused by a virus)

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 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.
This study collects tissue samples from people who are having heart surgery and stores them in a database to better understand the body’s inflammatory (immune) response after surgery. Your participation may help researchers learn why inflammation happens and how to improve care after surgery.
This study collects small cell samples from certain body tissues during planned orthopedic surgeries. The researchers will study these cells to understand their potential use in future treatments and to see if using them is safe and helpful.
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 study looks at special cells in your bone marrow and blood that help make platelets. Researchers want to learn more about these cells in people having planned heart bypass surgery. If you are eligible, you will donate some extra bone marrow and blood samples during your surgery.
