Summary

This study collects tissue samples from people with solid tumors who are already scheduled for surgery or biopsy at the NIH Clinical Center. Researchers will use the samples to study the biology of cancer and identify new targets for therapy. Up to 1,800 adults and children (age 2 and older) with precancerous or cancerous solid tumors may participate.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help scientists discover new targets for cancer therapies, leading to better treatments in the future.
What could go wrong
This is a tissue collection study, not a treatment trial. It does not test any new drug or therapy directly, so benefits for participants are unlikely.
