Evaluation for NCI Surgery Branch Clinical Research Protocols
RATIONALE: Evaluating patients for eligibility in clinical trials may help doctors plan more
effective surgical treatment for patients who have cancer.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying patients to determine if they are eligible for
surgery clinical trials.
OBJECTIVES:
- Evaluate patient eligibility for participation in NCI Surgery Branch protocols.
- Permit standard therapy for patients ineligible for active Surgery Branch protocols who
present novel or unique clinical training opportunity or conditions requiring immediate
intervention in order to avoid compromising patient's health.
OUTLINE: Patients undergo various diagnostic procedures and clinical testing to determine
protocol eligibility. The testing and procedures may include HLA blood typing, hepatitis
screen, HIV serology, fine-needle aspiration, open incisional or excisional biopsies,
leukapheresis, arteriogram, laparoscopy, various nuclear medicine and imaging scans with or
without contrast dye, or pulmonary function tests.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 5,000 patients will be accrued for this study within 5 years.
