Immune system study for cancer patients
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Digestive system, Immune system & allergy, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how your immune system and cancer cells interact. It may help doctors understand your cancer better and could lead to new treatments.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at what makes some cancers more “noticeable” to the immune system. It may help researchers design better future immunotherapy by collecting information (often including blood samples) from people with different cancers.
This study looks at tissue samples from patients who had surgery for head and neck or breast cancer. Researchers want to understand how certain immune cells in the tumor might affect the cancer, which could help improve treatments in the future.
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people with cancers of the head, neck, or upper airway to learn how the immune system responds to these cancers. The goal is to find better ways to treat these diseases in the future.
This study looks at “immune signals” in blood, saliva, and stool to learn more about head and neck cancers (especially squamous cell carcinoma). It may help researchers find patterns that improve understanding of disease or how treatment should be guided.
This study collects tumor and related samples from people with certain newly diagnosed cancers. Researchers use these samples to better understand how cancer cells, the surrounding tissue, and the immune system interact, which may guide better future treatments.
This study collects blood and tumor tissue samples from patients with certain untreated cancers to help researchers develop and improve tests. You may be eligible if you have one of the listed cancer types and have not yet started treatment.
