Brief Summary

Precision Cancer Medicine for Advanced Cancer Through High-throughput Sequencing

Detailed Description

This study supports the collection of tumor specimens for CLIA-certified genomic testing and research testing in parallel. CLIA-certified tests have established measurements of accuracy and precision which allow for return of results. This study does not involve treatment, only testing, which could be used to meet eligibility criteria in other trials.
