Pancreatic cancer has one of the lowest survival rates for all cancers, but there are some people who achieve long-term survival. We are looking at those patients, with the goal of identifying what are some treatments and experiences that do work. Learning about treatment combinations and unique therapies that have led to success can open doors for where our research should be focused moving forward.

Have you been diagnosed with oropharyngeal (tonsil or tongue base) cancer. If so, you may be able to take part in a research study testing markers to determine who may be appropriate for less aggressive therapy and markers to determine if recurrent tumors can be detected earlier.

Have you been diagnosed with cervical cancer? If so, you may be able to take part in a research study that aims to identify a new non-invasive biomarker (blood test) to 1) detect cervical cancer during screenings and 2) track response to treatment, detect early recurrence and guide personalized treatment decisions. In this study we will measure levels of Circulating Tumor Human Papilloma Virus DNA (ctHPVDNA) levels in the blood and urine of women with newly diagnosed cervical cancer prior to receiving any treatment, and then compare this to the levels in samples collected after treatment (surgery of chemoradiation).
