-
Rochester, Minn.
The goal of this study is to correlate protein content in vestibular schwannomas and cerebrospinal fluid to patient outcomes, imaging findings, and other relevant clinical endpoints in patients who presented with both this tumor type and hydrocephalus.
-
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
The goal of this pilot study is to better understand the health of the Somali community in the greater Phoenix area. Healthcare access and clinical service utilization will also be assessed in order to inform future reduction and cessations studies. Social networks will be examined in relation to accessing information about health and tobacco use. Long term objectives related to this study are the development of community-based interventions for tobacco use prevention, reduction, and cessation tailored to reduce disparities related tobacco use among the Somali community.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to describe knowledge about and quality of physician/patient communication surround tumor testing for K-ras to inform treatment and/or prognosis or to enhance cancer management in patients w/sporadic CRC. Evaluate decision-making satisfaction and decisional conflict surrounding the use of K-ras molecular testing to enhance cancer management. Identify educational needs and preferences of patients to enhance use of molecular testing for cancer treatment decision-making.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the immunotherapeutic product GSK 2302032A when given to Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients, after tumor removal by surgery.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to correlate the parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrp) levels in the current and new assays in patients with known disease and calcium status.
-
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.
Specimen acquisition project of archived serum and plasma samples from Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC patients)and healthy patients, for use by Surface Oncology to investigate the role of IL-27 in patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma and its potential as a therapeutic target.
-
Rochester, Minn.
The investigators are conducting a longitudinal cohort study of young women with breast cancer. The investigators identify women age 40 and younger with newly-diagnosed breast cancer from academic and community healthcare institutions. After women consent to the study, they fill-out surveys and give blood samples, and the investigators collect tissue from their breast cancer tumor after it is removed. Women are surveyed every 6 months for the first 3 years after diagnosis, then yearly thereafter for an additional 7 years (for a total follow-up of at least 10 years following diagnosis). The study investigates short and long-term disease and treatment issues, tumor biology and the relationship to patient outcomes, and psychosocial concerns at baseline and in follow-up among a cohort of young women who are newly-diagnosed with breast cancer.

Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.
This study defines cancer caregivers as unpaid individuals who provide physical, practical, and/or emotional care and support to the cancer patient in the home setting.

Rochester, Minn.
The purpose of this study is to gain stepwise understanding of the fundamental biology governing human antitumor immunity, by systematic study of the tumor-immune interface at the level of the TME, taking advantage of the heterogeneity of different interacting tumor and immune cell subsets.
-
Jacksonville, Fla.
The purpose of this study is to determine if allowing patients to ambulate in the hallways outside of their hospital room by relaxing the policy of strict protective isolation in neutropenic patients improves the quality of life, and if this increases the risk of infection among these patients during hospitalization.
