Procedure: biologic sample preservation procedure Procedure: biopsy Procedure: cytology specimen collection procedure Procedure: immunologic technique Procedure: study of high risk factors |
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: Patients undergo an interview, physical examination, and blood sample collection. Other clinically indicated biological samples, such as urine, sputum, saliva, tears, or semen or cervical, anal, oral, or nasal swabs, are collected. Skin testing with conventional, licensed antigens for assessment of cellular immunity may be performed, and skin lesions may be biopsied or excised. Tumor or other tissue biopsies may be obtained when biopsy or surgery is clinically indicated. The biological samples are frozen or preserved for current or future research studies.
Patients receive counseling relevant to the disease under study, and about the interim study results. Clinical referrals are made as needed.
