Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This pilot study will aim to determine whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be captured using the novel cMET based ferrofluid. The primary objective of this pilot study will be to describe the numbers of c-MET expressing cells that can be detected by the c-MET CTC capture technique. These data will be separated by disease site. The investigator will also describe the detection rates of both the c-MET CTC capture and the EpCAM CTC capture techniques in each patient, also separated by disease site.

Exclusion Criteria

A patient will not be eligible for inclusion in this study if any of the following criteria apply:

1. History of intercurrent or past medical or psychiatric illness that would make participation in a blood drawing protocol difficult or not feasible at the discretion of the principal investigator or co-investigator(s).
2. Treatment with an anthracycline (including mitoxantrone, doxorubicin, epirubicin, and daunorubicin) within 1 week of CTC collection (applicable in prostate and gastric cancer patients), as anthracyclines cause auto-fluorescence of cells.
