First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study collects previously stored tumor samples from over 3,000 people with advanced cancers like breast, lung, and colorectal cancer. Researchers test the samples for specific biomarkers—molecular clues that can help doctors choose which targeted therapy or clinical trial might work best for each patient. The goal is to learn how often this information is used and whether it helps patients get into the right trials.
