About this trial

The study will evaluate the detection of tumor-antigen specific immune cells in cancer patients in whom the role of the immune system is suspected.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Patient aged 18 or over,

Patient presenting an invasive tumor pathology (proven or suspected). The location and / or stage of which are defined for each cohort through an amendment to the protocol,

Patient treated with immune-modulators or other treatments likely to modify immunological parameters,

Suspicion of immune mediated response or toxicities (assessed by the immunologists),

Disqualifiers

Inability to undergo study follow-up for geographical, social or psychological reasons,

Infection with HIV or hepatitis B or C viruses,

Patients on high dose corticosteroid treatment (> 1 mg / kg continuously),

Any concomitant serious illness that may interfere with participation in the study or significantly affect the results of the study (pulmonary, heart or liver disease),
