This study exposes small areas of sun-damaged skin to simulated sunlight to see how proteins and genes change. Researchers will compare 46 adults—half with a history of skin cancer, half without—to find differences that might explain cancer risk. Participants will have four small…

This study aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that analyzes skin damage (dermatoheliosis) around a melanoma scar to predict whether a patient will respond to anti-PD-1 immunotherapy. Researchers will collect photos and medical data from 700 adults with adva…

This study is testing whether advanced PET/MR imaging can help doctors personalize radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. Researchers will scan 390 patients before, during, and after treatment to see if imaging details can predict survival and response. The goal is to improve out…

This study tests whether using artificial intelligence (AI) to rewrite medical discharge letters into plain language helps cancer patients better understand their diagnosis, treatment, and next steps. About 150 adults with blood cancer or other cancers will be randomly assigned t…

This study enrolls up to 10,000 adults with cancer to see how a special team of experts (a molecular tumor board) uses genetic testing to recommend personalized treatments. Researchers will track whether doctors follow these recommendations and if patients benefit. The goal is to…

This study looks at whether a simple blood test can give the same information about a tumor's biology as testing the tumor tissue itself. Researchers will collect blood samples from 300 adults with HPV-negative head and neck cancer before and after standard treatment. They will c…
