This study aims to collect tissue samples from cancer patients for research. Tissue samples are parts of the body, like blood, urine, or tumor tissue, taken to help scientists learn more about diseases like cancer. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other sites are involved. Both adults and kids with cancer can participate. Some samples come from regular medical tests, while others may need special procedures, like percutaneous biopsies (a method using a needle to collect sample tissue).
The study requires certain conditions to be met for participation, such as age. Adults must be 18 or older, and pediatric patients are younger than 18. Everyone must understand the study details and give their permission to join. The study may include some risks, especially for tests that involve surgery.
- The study is conducted at multiple sites, including the NIH.
- Participants need to give consent before procedures.
- Risks related to tissue collection methods will be explained before participation.
