Protocol for Facilitating the Acquisition of Research Bone Marrow and Blood Samples
Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine
Summary
This clinical research protocol is intended to allow for bone marrow aspirate/biopsy and blood specimens to be collected for research purposes, specifically allowing subjects the option of sedation during the bone marrow procedure. Samples will be banked for future research related to cancer and other diseases. Researchers hope this protocol will improve the collection of research correlative and translational biopsy specimens for clinical research.
