This study aims to create a large collection of blood samples from 2,500 people with or at high risk for cancer. Researchers will use these samples to study liquid biopsies, which are blood tests that may help detect cancer, track treatment response, and spot recurrence. Particip…

This study tracks 100 cancer survivors aged 18–74 to see how common muscle loss (sarcopenia) and cognitive problems ('chemo brain') are after treatment. Participants undergo physical and mental assessments. The goal is to better understand these long-term side effects and guide p…

This study tracks fertility markers in 80 melanoma patients (women aged 18-37, men aged 18-45) before, during, and after adjuvant therapy with anti-PD-1 or targeted treatments. Researchers measure hormone levels in women and sperm quality in men to see how these change over time.…

This study collects tumor samples from 500 children and teens with melanoma or related skin growths to analyze their genetic makeup. Researchers aim to learn more about what drives these rare childhood cancers. No new treatments are being tested; instead, the focus is on gatherin…

This study is testing whether an artificial intelligence (AI) tool can help match cancer patients with the right clinical trials. Researchers will enroll up to 50,000 people with various cancers to see if the AI improves trial enrollment rates and patient outcomes. The goal is to…

This study collects samples from 320 people, including those with solid cancers (like lung, colon, or pancreatic cancer) and those undergoing lung cancer screening, to look for cancer cells and DNA in blood, urine, and bone marrow. The goal is to learn how cancer spreads and find…

This study collects and stores tissue and blood samples from up to 3,000 melanoma patients to understand the biological changes that drive the disease. Researchers will analyze the samples to identify molecular markers that may help doctors choose the most effective treatments. T…

This study is testing a new predictive model that analyzes tumor samples to forecast whether a patient with melanoma or other skin cancers will respond to immunotherapy. Researchers will compare the model's predictions with actual patient outcomes over six months. The goal is to …

This study looks at whether a quick ultrasound of the thigh muscle can detect muscle loss (sarcopenia) in people who have finished cancer treatment. Researchers will compare the ultrasound results with a standard whole-body scan (DEXA) in 55 adults aged 18-74 with certain cancers…

This study follows 270 women under 40 who have had melanoma removed and are now taking adjuvant therapies like dabrafenib, trametinib, pembrolizumab, or nivolumab. Researchers will measure ovarian reserve using a blood test before and after treatment to see how these drugs affect…
