Molecular Testing for the MD Anderson Cancer Center Personalized Cancer Therapy Program (NCT01772771)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study performs standardized testing of tumor tissue samples to learn which genes are mutated (have changed) in order to provide personalized cancer therapy options to cancer patients at MD Anderson. This may help doctors use testing information on tumors to identify clinical trials that may be most relevant to patients. Researchers may also use the information learned from this study to develop a database of the different kinds of mutations in cancer-related genes.
