About this study
Tissue will be procured during a standard of care procedure the patient will already be scheduled to undergo. A one time blood draw will be performed at this time and an optional rectal swab for biome analysis may occur. Follow Up will only consist of chart review to determine date of recurrence, metastases, and/or death
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
