Ocular Complications From Cancer Therapy - Patient Registry and Biobank
Sponsor: University of Maryland, Baltimore
Summary
The purpose of this study is to collect data on patients seen at University of Maryland after undergoing cancer therapy. Previous medications, ocular history, medical history, clinical evaluations, surgical procedures and outcomes will be gathered on the patients who consent to participate. Potential subjects will be enrolled from the clinical practice of the investigator at the time of their eye examination visit. A standard of care exam will be performed pertinent to the reason for the visit. In addition to the standard of care exam, certain biological specimens (ocular surface wash, mucocellular material, corneal filaments, impression cytology, and/or blood) will be collected, stored, and analyzed to obtain immunologic, cellular, or molecular mechanistic insights into disease pathogenesis.

Interventions
Eye exam
Previous medications, ocular history, medical history, clinical evaluations, surgical procedures and outcomes will be gathered on the patients who consent to participate. A standard of care exam will be performed to the reason for the visit. In addition to the standard of care exam, those in the Cancer Therapy arm will have certain biological samples (tear collection, impression cytology, and/or blood) collected, stored, and analyzed so we may obtain immunologic, cellular, or molecular mechanistic insights into disease pathogenesis.
