NCT00897312

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer, hepatitis C, or Crohn disease in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer and other diseases. PURPOSE: This laboratory study is looking at the effect of biological therapy on biomarkers in patients with untreated hepatitis C, metastatic melanoma, or Crohn disease.
