Cancer genes under the microscope: study seeks to unlock personalized treatments
NCT ID NCT01775072
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at the genes in cancer tumors to find mutations that might be important for how the cancer grows. Researchers will use leftover tissue from surgeries or biopsies, along with a blood or saliva sample, to compare cancer genes to normal genes. The goal is to understand which genetic changes could help guide treatment choices and how tumors change over time.

- If successful, this research could help doctors match cancer patients with more effective treatments based on their tumor's genetic profile.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly benefit participants, and findings may not lead to immediate changes in care.
