Studying live tumor samples from surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to understand and agree to the study.
- You need to be scheduled for surgery to have your cancer removed.
- The surgery must produce enough tumor tissue for research.

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 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.
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 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 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 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.
