Collection of Biospecimen & Clinical Information in Patients w/ Gastrointestinal Cancers
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
We have an active research program in gastrointestinal cancers including clinical trials, epidemiologic, and translational studies. We would like to establish a biospecimen bank linked to useful clinical information in order to learn more about diagnostic, predictive and prognostic markers for gastrointestinal cancers.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To collect and store tumor and normal tissue (previously collected paraffin embedded or frozen specimen) and blood in patients with gastrointestinal (GI) cancers.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
-
Collect detailed clinical information via a patient questionnaire that includes demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle, family, past medical, medication and cancer histories
-
Collect details about the tumor specimen extracted from patient charts.
