Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This research trial studies the effect of radiation therapy on tumor immunity. Standard radiation therapy destroys tumor cells. In response to tumor cell death caused by radiation therapy, the body has an ability to stimulate an anti-tumor response (immunity), but this response is often ineffective in shrinking tumor tissue. Collecting samples of blood from patients before, during, and after radiation therapy to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about the effects of radiation therapy on anti-tumor response.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
  1. To assess the effect of radiation therapy on tumor immunity.
OUTLINE:

Samples of blood are collected before, during, and within two weeks after radiation therapy and then stored for analysis of anti-tumor immunity.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Outcome measures include changes in tumor-specific immune responses and general immune signature in patients undergoing Radiation Treatment. Reportable endpoints are absolute values of and changes in innate & adaptive immune cells and serum markers. [The time line of interest covers a baseline, pre-treatment sample as well as mid-treatment and a post-treatment, follow-up sample at 3 months.]
