Tissue Bank of Biological Specimens From Patients With Gynecologic Disease

NCT00299481UNKNOWNOBSERVATIONAL

Summary

The purpose of this study is to create a tissue bank of gynecologic cancers and normal tissue for the study of cancer in order to better understand the changes occurring on a molecular level (DNA, RNA, protein) that lead to the development of cancer.
