Genetic testing for newly diagnosed blood cancer patients
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study offers genetic testing to people newly diagnosed with a blood cancer. By comparing the genes in your bone marrow and your skin, doctors hope to learn more about your cancer and find better ways to treat it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been newly diagnosed with a blood cancer (like leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma).
- Your bone marrow biopsy will be done at Wellstar MCG Health/Georgia Cancer Center.
- You are willing to have a small skin sample (biopsy) and give blood for genetic testing.
- You can understand and sign a consent form in English.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 looks for inherited gene changes in people with certain blood cancers (myeloproliferative neoplasms) who have a family history of similar blood cancers. It aims to understand how genes might be passed down. You may be able to join if you have the cancer and a family member also had a blood cancer.
This study uses a simple blood test to look at the genetic makeup of your tumor. The results may help your doctors choose the best treatment for you. You will need to provide a tumor sample or have a biopsy.
This study collects and analyzes genetic information from tissue or blood samples to help understand cancer and related inherited (family) risk. It may involve testing results being shared with you or your care team, depending on what samples are available.
This trial studies whether certain inherited genes increase the risk of myeloid cancers or bone marrow failure. You will provide a DNA sample via a skin biopsy to look for these genetic changes.
This study looks at how genetic testing can help tailor cancer treatment for children and young adults. It is for patients newly diagnosed with cancer or those preparing for a bone marrow transplant for a non-cancer condition.
