This is a tissue collection study run by the National Cancer Institute. Researchers are gathering tissue samples, blood, and other biological fluids from cancer patients to better understand the disease and develop new treatments. The samples you provide will be stored safely and used only for approved cancer research.
Cancer researchers need access to real patient tissue samples to study how tumors develop and to test new treatment ideas in the laboratory. This study creates a resource of biological samples that helps speed up the discovery of more effective cancer therapies.

If you join this study, tissue and fluid samples will be collected during tests and procedures you're already having as part of your cancer care—such as biopsies, blood draws, or fluid samples. Some patients may have a small biopsy procedure done just for this study. Your samples will be labeled with a special code to protect your privacy and stored for use in approved research studies. There is no set end date; samples are kept as long as they are useful for research.
