Studying gene changes in tissues
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study looks at genetic changes that occur naturally in human tissues. If you are already scheduled for surgery or a procedure like a biopsy or endoscopy, researchers may ask for a small tissue sample to study how our cells can change over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a surgery or an invasive medical procedure like a biopsy or endoscopy.
- You are having the procedure for a suspected disease or to monitor a known condition.
- You are willing to give written permission (consent) for a small extra tissue sample to be taken.
- You are 18 years or older (if a standard adult trial).

This study is looking at DNA changes (mutations) in healthy people and in people who may have DNA damage from things like the sun, smoking, past diseases, or treatments like radiation. The goal is to better understand how these changes happen and what they mean.
This study looks at how cancer therapies may change healthy cells in your body over time. By collecting samples before and during treatment, researchers hope to understand long-term effects of therapy on normal tissues.
This trial uses already collected liver tissue samples from adults to study how cells change over time in chronic liver disease. It could help researchers understand the disease better and find new ways to treat it.
This study collects blood and saliva to look for inherited gene changes in people who have been diagnosed with cancer. It may help researchers understand what genetic risks could be involved, which could guide future cancer care.
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 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.
