Establishing a Tumor Bank in Families With Multiple Lymphoproliferative Malignancies

Establishing a Tumor Bank and Initial Analysis of Germline and Tumor-Related Genetic Alterations in Families With Multiple Lymphoproliferative Malignancies


Sponsor

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

Enrollment

1,500 participants

Start Date

Aug 9, 2004

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate possible genetic factors that contribute to the development of lymphomas. The databank will be used to determine whether familial lymphomas have unique genetic characteristics different from sporadic lymphomas and to attempt to identify a gene that confers an increased risk of lymphoma.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is establishing a tissue and blood bank from families with multiple cases of lymphoma (a blood cancer) to identify genetic factors that may increase the risk of these cancers. **You may be eligible if...** - You are over 18 years of age - You have been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), AND have a first-degree relative (parent, sibling, or child) with a similar blood cancer - You are a family member (affected or unaffected with lymphoma) willing to participate - Deceased family members may be included using medical records or archived tissue (with next-of-kin consent) **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You do not have a family history of lymphoma Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

This summary was AI-generated to explain the trial in plain language. It is not medical advice. Always discuss eligibility with your doctor before enrolling in a clinical trial.
