This research trial studies deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in blood samples from Caucasian and African-American cancer patients who received docetaxel on clinical trial CLB-9871. Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors learn more about how docetaxel is used by the body.
Name: laboratory biomarker analysis
Case-Only
There are 2 SNPs
