Collection of Biospecimen & Clinical Information in Patients w/ Gastrointestinal Cancers
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:
1. 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:
1. Collect detailed clinical information via a patient questionnaire that includes demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle, family, past medical, medication and cancer histories
2. Collect details about the tumor specimen extracted from patient charts.
Stanford is currently not accepting patients for this trial.
