Screening Patients With Central Nervous System Tumors for Participation in National Cancer Institute Clinical Trials
Eligibility Screening Of Patients With Central Nervous System Tumors For The National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Clinical Research Protocols

RATIONALE: Screening tests may help doctors determine which patients are eligible for treatment on clinical trials.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is screening patients with central nervous system tumors for participation in National Cancer Institute (NCI) clinical trials.

OBJECTIVES:

  • Evaluate patients with central nervous system tumors for eligibility in NCI primary clinical research protocols.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo various diagnostic procedures and clinical testing to determine eligibility for participation in NCI CNS tumor primary clinical research protocols. Patients undergo imaging scans; laboratory testing of blood, cerebrospinal fluid, bone marrow, urine, and other specimens as needed to determine protocol eligibility; and other specific organ function tests.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 3,000 patients will be accrued for this study within 5 years.
