Cancer Patients' samples fuel future discoveries
NCT ID NCT00896935
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is creating a repository of tumor, tissue, and blood samples from cancer patients. The goal is to store these biospecimens for future research that could improve our understanding of cancer. Up to 10,000 participants will provide samples during their routine care at the Arizona Cancer Center. No experimental treatments are involved.

Who is studied
The goal of this protocol is to provide cancer investigators access to a wide variety of tissues and biospecimens for translational studies in cancer by collecting and preserving tissue from the primary organ site, from the metastases, from patient blood (serum and lymphocytes), from patient urine, and from related samples of other tissues/fluids removed by the surgeon left over after diagnostic testing. No additional tissue will be taken at the time of surgery other than that required for patient care, but additional blood and urine samples will be obtained at that time. This protocol is not limited to certain types of cancer.
