The purpose of this study is to learn why certain drugs stop working in patients.In lab studies, tumors become resistant in several ways. Specific molecules seem to change and this may be why therapy stops working. However, we do not know if the same molecules change in patients. This study is being done to see if they do change. If we learn more about how patients become resistant, we may be able to offer better treatment in the future.

A single 10ml tube of blood will also be obtained for a comparison of patient's normal DNA for genomic analyses either at the time of the procedure or at a followup appointment if feasible.
