Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people with a confirmed diagnosis of cancer. Participants will provide samples like blood or tissue to help researchers understand cancer better and improve treatments.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I have a confirmed cancer diagnosis.
I am at least 18 years old.
I can provide my Mayo Clinic medical record number.
I am aware of my cancer diagnosis.
I can give a sample of blood, saliva, or tissue.
A clinical provider has ordered genetic testing for me.
You may not be able to join if
I am in a Federal Medical Prison.
I have situations that would limit my ability to comply with the study requirements.
I have had prior germline genetic testing with a 100+ multi-gene panel in the last year.

This study is being done to identify markers and causes of cancer by analyzing patient's DNA (i.e., genetic material), RNA, plasma, tissues, or other samples that could be informative for patients with cancer. Cancer genetic testing is a series of tests that finds specific changes in cancer cells and normal cells in the body. Researchers may request to access these data as they explore how to bett…
This study is being done to identify markers and causes of cancer by analyzing patient's DNA (i.e., genetic material), RNA, plasma, tissues, or other samples that could be informative for patients with cancer. Cancer genetic testing is a series of tests that finds specific changes in cancer cells and normal cells in the body. Researchers may request to access these data as they explore how to better prevent, screen, or treat cancer. This study is also being done to create a biobank (library) of samples and information to learn more about treating cancer. Discovery of genetic variants in patients with cancer could result in opportunities for cancer prevention, earlier diagnosis or better therapy for cancer.
