Cyst fluid study for disease markers

This study is looking at certain substances in the fluid around the lungs (pleural effusion) of people with lung adenocarcinoma. It may help doctors understand this condition better and find new ways to treat it.

This study looks for “biomarkers,” or measurable lab signals, in blood and (when available) cyst fluid to understand pancreatic cyst problems and related conditions. It may help doctors better predict what these conditions are and how to manage them.

This study collects blood and cystic fluid samples from people who are already scheduled for surgery to remove a worrisome pancreatic cyst. The goal is to learn more about these cysts and possibly improve future diagnosis and treatment.

This study looks for simple signals (markers) that may show whether cystic fibrosis treatments are working. It includes people who take CF “modulator” medicines like ivacaftor, people who don’t, and people whose cystic fibrosis was ruled out after testing.

This study looks at the genetic material (genomics) of pancreatic cysts to better understand them and possibly improve diagnosis or treatment. By studying fluid or tissue from your cyst, researchers hope to find markers that can help guide care.

This study looks at fluid from the womb and eggs to find markers that might help understand endometriosis better. If you join, you'll provide samples, and the goal is to improve diagnosis and treatment for people with this condition.
