-
Spinal fluid and blood liquid biopsy for people with metastatic solid tumors with or without brain involvement
This will test whether a one-time spinal fluid (CSF) and blood sample can find tumor DNA in people with metastatic solid tumors, including those with brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease.
-
Nerve and heart activity in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
This project will test whether measuring autonomic nervous system signals—such as heart rate patterns, sensory‑response tests, and liver biopsy markers—can help detect or better characterize HCC in adults with compensated cirrhosis who are having a liver biopsy.
-
Assessing brain function in children with CNS tumors receiving proton therapy
This study is testing how proton therapy affects the thinking and learning abilities of children with brain tumors by checking their cognitive skills before and after treatment.
