Lymphoid Malignancies and Precursors: Tissue Acquisition Protocol

Sponsor

National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Enrollment

1,295 participants

Start Date

Sep 21, 2012

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Multiple Myeloma Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Leukemia-Lymphoma, Adult T-Cell Hodgkin Disease Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis

Summary

Background: \- Lab studies help researchers better understand cancer biology. This information may lead to new methods for diagnosing or treating cancer. To develop these studies, researchers want to collect samples from people with cancer or precancer conditions of the lymph system. These conditions include multiple myeloma, different types of lymphoma, and adult leukemia/lymphoma. The samples collected will include blood, urine, bone marrow, and tumor and skin tissue. Objectives: \- To collect tissue samples to study different types of lymph cancer. Eligibility: \- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have a lymphoid cancer or precancer condition. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. * Different samples will be collected for study. Blood samples will be collected at the initial testing. More blood samples will be collected at different treatment points. Other liquid samples include urine, bone marrow, and any abnormal fluid. Tumor tissue and skin tissue biopsies will also be collected for study. * Treatment will not be provided as part of this study.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study collects blood, tissue, and lymph node samples from people with lymph system cancers (such as lymphoma or multiple myeloma) to better understand these diseases and improve future treatments. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with a lymph cancer such as lymphoma, multiple myeloma, or a related blood disease - You are 18 years of age or older - You are in reasonably good health and able to carry out daily activities - You are willing and able to sign a consent form **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are pregnant - You have serious heart, lung, or other organ problems that would make a biopsy or blood collection risky - You have active medical or mental health problems that might make participation unsafe or prevent you from giving consent Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
