A Lifetime Partnership With Patients Who Have or May be at Risk of Having Cancer

Total Cancer Care Protocol: A Lifetime Partnership With Patients Who Have or May be at Risk of Having Cancer (ORIEN)

This is not a treatment study. The overall objective is to develop an improved standard of care through studying blood, tissue, biological, etc. samples, that patients have allowed researchers to procure.

The Oncology Research Information Exchange Network (ORIEN) hopes to establish a unique collection of blood, tissue, other biological samples and their associated data (survey data, medical records data, cancer registry data, and other related data) from thousands of patients with cancer or at risk of having cancer. Their hope is to, over time, facilitate new clinical trials, technology, informatics solutions, and personalized medicine to each cancer patient.
