The objective of this project is to develop a research repository for the purpose of performing cancer studies. Information will be gathered form UCHC medical records, molecular and pathological analysis of blood collected and tissue gathered during surgical procedures. The tissue will be obtained during surgical procedures the patient may have elected to have performed at the Health Center in the future. The collection of data will also permit review of relevant information to identify patients who may be eligible for future studies, and to seek permission of patients to be contacted to determine their interest in taking part in future studies. De-identified information will be used for approved research studies and to gather pilot data for extra-mural grant applications.
