Read our Ovarian Neoplasms research guide →This study is building a tissue and blood sample bank — a collection of biological materials from patients and healthy volunteers. Researchers will use these samples to study cancer markers, genetic changes, and tumor characteristics to help develop better treatments for ovarian, breast, colorectal, lung, and other cancers.
Modern cancer treatment advances depend on studying real tumor tissue and blood samples. By collecting and storing these materials along with patient information, researchers can conduct studies now and in the future that may lead to better ways to diagnose and treat cancer.

If you qualify, you would donate tissue samples (often collected during a surgery or biopsy you're already having) and a blood sample. Your medical information would also be recorded and stored with your samples. There is no ongoing treatment or follow-up visits required — participation is a one-time donation to help future cancer research.
