Using patient tumor samples to build lab models
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses tumor tissue from real patients to create lab models that can help researchers test treatments. You might be able to join if you need a biopsy or surgery for care and it’s safe to collect a small amount of tissue for research.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 18 or older
- Be able to safely get a standard biopsy or surgery to collect tissue
- Be able to follow study steps and give written consent on your own
- Have tumor tissue available that can be used for research
- Biopsy for research must be no more than minimal risk to you

This trial takes a small sample of your tumor to grow a model in the lab. This model helps doctors test which treatments might work best for you.
This study uses advanced DNA testing on tumor samples to help match cancer treatments more precisely. It may help researchers learn which cancer changes are driving your tumor and how they relate to treatment choices.
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.
This study looks at blood and tumor tissue to find signs (markers) that can help diagnose or better understand metastatic cancer. You may be able to join if you’re getting surgery or a biopsy to remove a tumor and there’s a safe way to collect samples.
This study collects tumor-related samples from people with invasive breast cancer who are having surgery after treatment before surgery. Researchers use your samples to create lab models (called PDX and organoids) to help study breast cancer and find better future treatments.
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.
