Building a family tumor and genetics bank for blood cancers
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study collects and stores tumor/tissue information and family medical history from people with certain blood cancers. It aims to help researchers understand why these illnesses may run in families and use genetic clues for future research.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be age 18 or older
- You (or a family member) has a blood cancer like lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, or chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
- You must have a close family member (parent, sibling, or child) with a lymph-related cancer, or your family has an unusual pattern of early or frequent solid tumors
- Family members (even if they are not sick) must be contacted and agree to take part
- If a family member is deceased, consent may be obtained from the next of kin, and records or archived tissue may be used

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies how different blood cancers and early (pre-cancer) blood conditions work, using tumor/blood tissue samples. It may help researchers learn more about disease biology for future treatments, with little to no extra risk if samples come from routine care.
This study looks at gene patterns in people with blood cancers to better understand the disease and find possible treatments. If you are being tested for a blood cancer or have a blood cancer that came back or got worse, you may be able to join.
This study enrolls adults with certain blood cancers to better understand diagnosis, treatment choices, and outcomes. You may also be asked to provide or have tissue/blood samples saved so researchers can study what’s going on in the disease.
This study looks at blood-related conditions that run in families, including people with the condition and their close relatives. It may help doctors better understand what drives these inherited blood disorders and how to manage them.
This study collects family and medical history to better understand inherited causes of blood cancers (like lymphoma) and related conditions. It may help researchers build genetic findings that could improve how families understand their risk and future care.
This study looks at families where more than one close, blood-related person has a lymphoproliferative disorder (a group of conditions where the lymph system makes too many abnormal cells). It aims to better understand why these disorders run in families and how they may be inherited or related.
