Banking cancer tissue and blood for future research
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study collects and stores leftover or newly taken samples of tissue and blood from people with cancer. The goal is to build a research library that can help investigators study cancer and develop better tests or treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 2 months old and being evaluated, treated, or enrolled for cancer at a participating center
- Have a confirmed cancer diagnosis (or, if not yet confirmed, the research team has asked the coordinating site to review based on imaging, symptoms, risk factors, blood tests, or genetic/family history)
- Your cancer can be newly diagnosed, coming back, spreading, or continuing despite treatment, including people in stable disease or partial response
- Be willing to sign a consent form (and for children, follow the child assent/parent permission process)
- Have enough planning time for sample collection so it’s taken between treatment cycles (not between doses within the same cycle)
- Not have certain blood or cancer-like conditions, certain active infections, or specific liver viruses (unless the study says you’re still allowed)

This study looks at blood and tumor tissue to find signs (markers) that can help diagnose or better understand metastatic cancer. You may be able to join if you’re getting surgery or a biopsy to remove a tumor and there’s a safe way to collect samples.
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.
This study collects tissue or other cancer-related samples to help researchers better understand cancer and develop better tests or treatments. You can join if you are being evaluated for or treated for cancer, and you agree to let your samples be used for research.
This study looks at the genetic information (DNA) from your blood and from saved tumor tissue to better understand certain cancers, especially rare cancers with a poor outlook. It may help researchers learn why these cancers behave the way they do and guide future treatments.
This study collects and stores blood and protein samples from people with cancer to help future research. You may be asked to return for follow-up appointments so the researchers can link your samples to health outcomes.
This study collects and stores tumor and blood samples from children and young adults with cancer, blood disorders, or immune conditions. The samples are used to better understand these diseases and could help future treatments.
