First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This study aims to find abnormal genes (mutations) in cancer cells using leftover tumor tissue from past surgeries or biopsies. Participants also give a blood, cheek swab, or saliva sample for comparison. The goal is to understand how these genetic changes affect response to experimental treatments and how they evolve over time. Up to 200 people with solid tumors or blood cancers will take part.
