Patient-Derived Xenografts to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities

Description

This trial establishes patient-derived cancer xenografts in addressing cancer health and treatment disparities that disproportionately affect racial/ethnic minorities. Understanding the genetic and response differences among racial/ethnic minorities may help researchers enhance the precision of therapeutic treatments.

Conditions

Bladder Carcinoma, Gastric Carcinoma, Liver and Intrahepatic Bile Duct Carcinoma, Lung Carcinoma, Malignant Neoplasm
