UCSF biobank for hereditary cancers and tumor mutations
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study creates a collection of tissue, fluid, and blood samples from people with or at risk for hereditary cancers. These samples help researchers learn more about how tumors grow, respond to treatment, and might be used to develop new therapies.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You have a personal or family history of cancer, or a known cancer-related gene mutation.
- You are planning a surgery, biopsy, or fluid removal procedure (or can give an extra blood sample).
- You do not have active HIV, Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C infection.
- You are willing to sign a consent form agreeing to donate samples for research.

This study collects information and samples from people with genetic conditions to help researchers learn more and develop new treatments. You can participate even if you are pregnant, a child, or a family member of someone with a genetic condition.
This trial collects blood and tissue samples from people with and without heart disease to study heart health. If you are 18 or older and either a UCSF patient, a family member of a heart patient, or have no heart disease, you may be able to help.
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.
This study collects blood samples to “test and store” (bank) information that may help doctors understand cancer in the future. You might be able to join if you’re an adult with confirmed cancer or a higher-than-usual risk for cancer.
This study collects tumor tissue and related blood tests from people who already need a biopsy or surgery as part of their usual care. Researchers use the samples to learn what drives the tumor and how the tumor environment may affect treatment, which could help develop future therapies.
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.
