  • All Genders

Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine whether certain genes in cancer may be abnormal. When a gene is abnormal this is called a mutation. Most mutations in cancer cells are not inherited (passed down from parents) but happen after birth in the cancer itself. Most cancers have many mutations. Some of these mutations are important for the cancer cells to survive while others are not. The goal of this study is test cancer for certain mutations using leftover tumor tissue from a previous surgery or biopsy. Participants will also be asked to provide a tube of blood cheek (also known as a buccal) swab, or a saliva sample that contains normal genes for comparison.

The purpose of Part B of this study is to:

Understand how genetic changes in tumor effect the chance of responding to experimental cancer treatment. Understand how the genes in the tumor change overtime in response to targeted cancer treatment.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

Part A:

  • Patients with a history of cancer or patients without a documented cancer historyundergoing a surgical procedure, endoscopy, biopsy, or liquid biopsy (for examplecell free DNA testing) to confirm or exclude a cancer diagnosis, or

  • Any participant having a test or procedure that has the potential to provide aspecimen that can be banked for future research purposes, or

  • Any participant who has already had a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure that hasyielded tissue, blood or other bodily fluids presently in the archive but who hasnot yet been approached to participate is also eligible.

Part B:

  • Patients must be successfully registered to Part A of MSKCC IRB# 12-245

  • Prior written approval for patient consent obtained from the Principal/Co-PrincipalInvestigator of MSKCC IRB # 12-245.

Part C:

  • Patient must be receiving ongoing care at MSK or a CHERPn/ Alliance/Affiliate siteor have previously consulted with an MSK physician.

  • Patient must have successfully consented to Part A of this study.

Part D:

  • Patients with no personal cancer history at increased risk for cancer developmentdue to family history, molecular cancer marker, know carrier status of a geneassociated with increased cancer risk or prior/ongoing environmental exposures orlifestyle factors.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

All Parts:

  • Unwilling or unable to provide informed consent.

Part C:

  • All patients consenting to Part A are eligible to consent to 12-245, Part C. Mostpatients will be eligible to receive clinical germline testing with return ofresults to the patient/health care providers. However, several exclusion criteriaapply and are outlined below
  1. Solid tumor patients: Secondary germline analysis using BAM files generated forMSK-IMPACT testing is not an option for patients with solid tumors and an acuteor chronic hematologic neoplasm that would preclude the use of blood or salivaas a source of germline DNA. Such patient may be eligible for primary germlinetesting using a non-blood source of germline DNA as per standard clinicalguidelines. Solid tumor patients who have had an allogenic bone marrow/stemcell transplant will only be considered eligible for germline testing underPart C if a sample adequate for germline testing had previously been collectedprior to allogenic bone marrow/stem cell transplant.

  2. Hematologic cancer patients: For patients with a hematopoietic neoplasm,germline testing may be an option under Part C using nail clippings or anothernon-blood source of DNA as per standard clinical practice. For patients whohave had an allogenic bone marrow/stem cell transplant, clinical germlinetesting will only be considered under Part C if a sample adequate for germlinetesting had previously been collected prior to Allogenic bone marrow/stem celltransplant.

Part D

  • Exclusion criteria are same as those for Part C outlined above.
