Conditions

Summary

Background: \- Laboratory investigators who are studying common childhood cancers are interested in developing a tissue repository to collect and store blood, serum, tissue, urine, or tumors of children who have cancer or adults who have common childhood cancers. To develop this repository, additional samples will be collected from children and adults who have been diagnosed with common childhood cancers such as leukemia and tumors of the central nervous system. Objectives: \- To collect and store blood, serum, tissue, urine, or tumor samples of children who have cancer or adults who have common childhood cancers. Eligibility: * Individuals who have been diagnosed with a common childhood cancer (e.g., leukemia) regardless of patient age. * Children, adolescents, and adults who have been diagnosed with a type of cancer more commonly found in adults. Design: * Extra blood, serum (the liquid part of blood), tissue, urine, or tumor samples will be collected from participants at a time when sampling is required for medical care or as part of a research study. * No additional procedures will be performed for the sole purpose of obtaining additional tumor tissue, aside from what is required for clinical care.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study collects tumor and blood samples from patients with any type of cancer (or at risk of cancer) as well as healthy volunteers, to build a research repository for genetic and molecular analysis of tumors. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a child or adult with any cancer diagnosis, a pre-cancerous condition, or a suspected hereditary cancer risk - You are a biological relative of someone with cancer - You are a healthy volunteer without any cancer history - A parent or caregiver of a child with cancer who consents to interviews about outcomes **You may NOT be eligible if...** - There are no formal exclusion criteria — anyone who meets the above criteria and can provide consent may participate Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
