Summary

This study collects tissue and blood samples from 156 people with advanced prostate, kidney, or bladder cancers. Researchers analyze these samples to find genetic markers that predict how well different treatments work. Participants undergo a biopsy of a growing tumor before starting their planned therapy. The goal is to improve future treatment decisions, not to test a new drug.
