Sample collection for cancer research study
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary, Lungs & breathing, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have an untreated solid tumor in one of these areas: breast, lung, bladder, rectum, pancreas, ovary, stomach/esophagus, prostate, melanoma, liver, uterus, or head and neck.
- You are able to have blood drawn for research purposes.
- You agree to let researchers use leftover tumor tissue from your diagnosis or surgery.
- You have not started treatment after surgery yet.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have had no other cancer in the past year (except minor skin cancers).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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.
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
This study aims to deeply analyze immune cells and tumor cells in the blood and tumors of cancer patients. It may help researchers better understand how the immune system interacts with cancer.
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 and combines medical records, genetic (genomic) data, and tumor/blood samples from people with cancer. It helps researchers build and improve a large “gold standard” cancer dataset that can support future studies and better understanding of cancer.
