Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for adults with certain types of lymph cancer or precancer conditions. Participants will provide samples like blood, urine, and tissue for research purposes, but they will not receive treatment through this study.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I am at least 18 years old.
I have been diagnosed with a lymphoid cancer or a precursor condition.
I can understand and sign an informed consent document.
You may not be able to join if
I am pregnant.
I have a major organ disorder that could increase biopsy risks.
I have other serious medical or psychological issues that could affect my safety.

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 c…
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.

* LYMPHOID MALIGNANCIES/DISEASES: The following criteria apply only to patients with a known lymphoid malignancy or precursor
disease, as described:
INCLUSION CRITERIA:
* Patients with a known lymphoid malignancy or precursor disease to a lymphoid malignancy, including multiple myeloma, B-cell and T-cell lymphomas: including but not limited to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Hodgkin s lymphoma (HL), multiple myeloma (MM), lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL).
* Confirmation of pathological diagnosis is required from the Laboratory of Pathology, NCI. Tumor tissue that has been previously collected and is available for study or that can be collected with minimal additional risk to the subject during sampling required for routine patient care or required testing on an NIH research protocol will be used for diagnosis.
* Age \>= 18 years of age
* Ability of patient or Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document NOTE: Patients enrolling with a LAR must be co-enrolled on another study.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
* Pregnant individuals will not be eligible.
* Active symptomatic major organ disorder that would increase the risk of biopsy, including but not limited to ischemic heart disease, recent myocardial infarction, active congestive heart failure, and/or pulmonary dysfunction.
* Active concomitant medical or psychological illnesses that may increase the risk to the subject or inability to obtain informed consent, at the discretion of the principal investigator.
NON-LYMPHOID MALIGNANCIES/DISEASES: The following criteria apply only to patients without a known lymphoid malignancy or precursor disease, as described:
INCLUSION CRITERIA:
-Patients without a known lymphoid malignancy or lymphoid precursor diagnosis who have a planned surgical procedure during which blood or normal lymph node(s)/tissue (i.e., those not with pre-determined likelihood of abnormality/ malignancy) may be obtained for research studies as part of this protocol.
Patient is appropriate to undergo the surgical procedure planned, and consented for the same, as needed. NOTE: This study will not evaluate eligibility of the patient for surgery.
* Age \>= 18 years of age
* Must be able and willing to sign informed consent
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
* Pregnant individuals will not be eligible.
* Other active malignancy. NOTE: Patients with a history of curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma or stage 1 melanoma of the skin as well as any in situ carcinoma are eligible. Patients with a malignancy that has been treated with curative intent and who are without evidence of disease for \>=2 years will also be eligible at the discretion of the investigator.
* Active concomitant medical or psychological illnesses that may increase the risk to the subject or inability to obtain informed consent, at the discretion of the principal investigator.
