Collecting and storing tissue samples from patients with suspected solid tumors

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This research focuses on collecting and preserving blood and tissue samples from patients undergoing surgery for suspected solid tumors. The samples will be used to create a repository for future cancer research at Wake Forest University Comprehensive Cancer Center. The study aims to analyze changes from normal to cancerous tissue and may involve genetic analysis of the tumor samples. Information about patients' medical histories will also be collected to support ongoing research efforts.
