Collection and Storage of Tissue Samples for Solid Tumors

This study is collecting and storing tissue and blood samples from patients who are having surgery for suspected solid tumors (growths that may or may not be cancer). The goal is to create a resource for researchers at Wake Forest University Comprehensive Cancer Center to study cancer in the future. Researchers will use these samples to analyze the genetic makeup of tumors and grow living cells for further study. They will also review your medical records to gather information about your diagnosis and treatment. This study is open to adults aged 18 to 120 years who are scheduled for surgery or biopsy for a suspected solid tumor and provide their consent. The main goal is to establish a tissue and cell repository for future research.

Study design

What's involved
If you participate, tissue and blood samples will be collected during your planned surgery or biopsy. Researchers will also review your medical records.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
