Summary

This study collects tumor tissue, blood, and cheek swabs from 50 adults with cancer to create personalized 3D models in the lab. Researchers will analyze the genetics and drug responses of these models to find new treatment targets. The goal is to improve understanding of aggressive cancers and eventually develop better therapies.
