About this trial

The purpose of the Texas Immuno-Oncology Biorepository (TIOB) is to collect and store well-defined and well-annotated serial biospecimens of tissue, blood, urine and stool in a longitudinal manner from cancer patients who are receiving either standard of care surgical interventions and or FDA approved immunotherapeutics across the largest not-for-profit health system in Texas. Comprehensive clinical and radiological data from a diverse population of patients with different racial, social and ethnic backgrounds matched with serial biospecimens over a patients journey with cancer marks the TIOB as a unique research facility.
