What this trial studies
The New York Stem Cell Foundation (NYSCF) Research Institute is establishing a living biobank of tumor/organoids and stem cells from adults diagnosed with solid tumors. This observational research aims to collect biological samples from both cancer patients and healthy individuals to create patient-specific models that capture tumor complexity. By analyzing these models, researchers hope to accelerate the discovery of more effective cancer treatments and enhance precision medicine approaches in oncology.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with a diagnosis of solid tumor cancer or healthy individuals serving as controls.
Not a fit: Patients who are not adults, such as children or neonates, will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to more personalized and effective cancer treatments for patients.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using patient-derived models for cancer research, indicating that this approach has potential for success.
