Tumor tissue and imaging study
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at the genetic and cellular makeup of tumors to better understand how they behave. By learning more about your cancer's specific traits, doctors hope to improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have a confirmed cancer diagnosis (either a primary tumor or one that has spread), based on tissue sample, imaging, or scope.
- You cannot have had a different, unrelated cancer before.
- You cannot have an active serious infection like HIV, hepatitis B or C, or other ongoing bacterial or viral infections.
- You cannot have an active autoimmune disease.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you cannot join.
- You must sign a consent form to participate.

This study looks at tumor tissue and/or blood “biomarkers” to help predict whether a solid tumor will respond well to radiation therapy. It may help doctors choose more effective treatments in the future, and it may guide your care during radiotherapy if you qualify.
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 looks at your tumor’s genetic information to help doctors recommend treatment for cancers that have spread. It may help you get the most suitable therapy based on what’s found in your tumor.
This study looks at the genetic information (DNA) from your blood and from saved tumor tissue to better understand certain cancers, especially rare cancers with a poor outlook. It may help researchers learn why these cancers behave the way they do and guide future treatments.
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 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.
