These include the delivery of x-ray treatment to sites of local disease 
to control pain, medication to control pain, and medical, surgical, or 
radiation treatment of any reversible complications. Experimental drugs 
are being evaluated at other centers to which you can be referred. 
Other experimental treatments are under investigation which attempt to 
stimulate your immune system to reject your tumor, and you can be 
referred to physicians who are conducting such trials. In contrast to 
this treatment, other protocols usually require removal of tumor cells 
or blood cells, which are taken to the laboratory for genetic 
manipulation, and subsequently returned to you by injection. In some 
cases, proteins are injected which can stimulate the immune system. You 
also have the option to receive no treatment at this time. 
IV. COSTS: 
You will not be paid to take part in this study. 
Outpatient and inpatient studies will be ordered to determine your 
eligibility for study and whether you have had a response to the 
treatment. Clinic visits, laboratory tests, x-rays, and scans will not 
be free. Items which are not covered by insurance which relate to this 
research protocol will be covered by research grants. The costs of 
tests and treatments unrelated to this study will be handled as usual 
and will depend on whether or not you have insurance and what costs your 
insurance covers. Unfortunately, insurance coverage cannot be 
guaranteed for all tests and treatments; however, you may discuss this 
issue with the hospital financial office or your insurance company 
before you agree to participate. 
CONSENT FOR AUTOPSY 
To fully evaluate the effects and safety of gene therapy, it will 
be necessary to obtain as much information as possible. In the unlikely 
event or occurrence of your death, either during this protocol or after 
its completion, evaluation of your organs will be a very valuable method 
to see the full effects of gene therapy. Therefore, if you participate 
in this study, we would like you to consider an autopsy in the event of 
your death. However, consent to an autopsy is not required to enroll on 
this trial . 
AGREEMENT TO CONSENT 
The research project and treatment procedures associated with it have 
been fully explained to me. All experimental procedures have been identified 
and no guarantee has been given about the possible results. I have had the 
opportunity to ask questions concerning any and all aspects of the project and 
any procedures involved. I am aware that participation is voluntary and that 
I may withdraw my consent at any time. I am aware that my decision not to 
participate or to withdraw will not restrict my acces to health care services 
normally available at the University of Chicago Hospitals. Confidentiality of 
medical records concerning my involvement in this project will be maintained 
in an appropriate manner. When required by law, the records of this research 
may be reviewed by applicable government agencies, including The Federal Food
