Analysis of Primary and Metastatic Tumors in Patients With Renal Cell Carcinoma and Urothelial Carcinoma
This is a comparative study using resected/ biopsied tumors samples collected from renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma patients who underwent surgical removal of lesions, followed by immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) treatment targting programmed cell death 1 (PD1) but developed new lesions later were also removed and stored in the …
Autoimmunity After Checkpoint Blockade
The purpose of this study is to better understand how the treatment of cancer with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) leads to the development of autoimmunity. Specifically, we wish to understand the genetics and immune system features that cause a subset of cancer patients treated with checkpoint inhibitor therapy to develop …
Protocol for Facilitating the Acquisition of Research Bone Marrow and Blood Samples
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 …

Head to Head Comparison of Upper Airway Stimulation and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure; a Pilot Study.
To date, there has been no head to head comparison of Upper Airway Stimulation (UAS) and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) utilizing a full night polysomnographic evaluation. With this study we aim to evaluate a pilot cohort of patients with OSA treated with CPAP or UAS using the WatchPAT polysomnography …
Targeted Therapy to Increase RAI Uptake in Metastatic DTC
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is a common type of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in children and represents the second most common cancer in adolescent females. Recently targeted drugs that block many of the genetic drivers of DTC have become available. While Investigators know that these drugs shrink DTC tumors in …
QOL and Sarcopenia in Patients With Ascites
Clinical data regarding quality of life in patients with refractory ascites is limited and preceded the development of newer questionnaires that may be more robust. One primary objective of this study is to study changes in quality in life in a prospective fashion using newer general and ascites-specific quality of …
