- Registration Number
- NCT00250783
- Lead Sponsor
- University of New Mexico
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to provide a repository for long-term storage of endometrial cancer tumor and normal tissue, ascites and serum. This material will be used in studies to better understand the molecular biology of endometrial cancer.
- Detailed Description
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE
This protocol will create a central repository for banking tumor and other tissues as well as serum from patients with uterine corpus tumors. In addition, this protocol will also serve as a central repository for serum and tissue to healthy post-menopausal and peri-menopausal controls.
There will be an "internal" bank. The internal bank will have samples available to UNM investigators.
