This study looks at what the bone marrow “microenvironment” is like in children newly diagnosed with acute leukemia, to better understand the disease. It also compares leukemia samples to samples from children having certain orthopedic surgery.
This study looks at certain blood and bone marrow cells (megakaryocytes) in people having heart bypass surgery. It aims to learn more about these cells, which may help in future treatments.
This study collects blood and tumor tissue samples from people newly diagnosed with aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma who will receive standard chemotherapy. The goal is to improve future tests for detecting minimal residual disease (tiny amounts of cancer left after treatment).
This study asks people with follicular lymphoma to share their experiences during treatment. It's not testing a new drug—it's collecting information to help improve care.
This study involves bone marrow cell grafting for people affected by leukemia or lymphoma. You may be eligible if you are a transplant recipient or a donor and you freely choose to take part.
This study collects samples and health information from people with certain blood cancers to learn more about the disease and find markers that may help guide future treatments. You will not receive a treatment from this study, but you may help advance research.
