Summary

This study takes a small piece of a patient's cancer and grows it in special mice. Doctors then test many different drugs on the mouse tumor to see which ones work best. The results are shared with the patient's oncologist, who decides if and how to use the information. The goal is to learn whether this approach can help guide treatment decisions for people with advanced solid tumors.
