• Karnofsky performance status >/= 60 or Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
• The patient has biopsy accessible tumor.
• The patient has adequate hematologic function as defined by an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >/= 1,500/mm^3, platelet count >/= 100,000/mm^3, White Blood Count (WBC) >/= 3,000/ mm^3, and hemoglobin >/= 9 g/dL.

• Patients will be allowed to have prior biologic (i.e. VEGF, EGFR, etc.) therapy. However, the patient will be excluded from a given study if he/she has received the same therapy as the clinical trial (i.e. If a patient has been previously treated with bevacizumab, they are allowed to enr
