Overview
Brief Summary
This study is being done to identify markers and causes of cancer by analyzing patient's DNA (i.e., genetic material), RNA, plasma, tissues, or other samples that could be informative for patients with cancer. Cancer genetic testing is a series of tests that finds specific changes in cancer cells and normal cells in the body. Researchers may request to access these data as they explore how to better prevent, screen, or treat cancer. This study is also being done to create a biobank (library) of samples and information to learn more about treating cancer. Discovery of genetic variants in patients with cancer could result in opportunities for cancer prevention, earlier diagnosis or better therapy for cancer.

Arms & Interventions
Group A: Germline and Somatic Testing
Potential participants with a cancer diagnosis may be identified through the following sources: patients who will undergo or are currently undergoing clinical evaluation in practices such as, but not limited to, hematology-oncology, gastroenterology-hepatology, radiation-oncology and surgery. Participants will be enrolled in the study indefinitely unless a request to withdraw is made.
Intervention: Pan-genomic Testing
Group B: Germline Testing Only
Potential participants with a cancer diagnosis may be identified through the following sources: patients who will undergo or are currently undergoing clinical evaluation in practices such as, but not limited to, hematology-oncology, gastroenterology-hepatology, radiation-oncology and surgery. Participants will be enrolled in the study indefinitely unless a request to withdraw is made.
Intervention: Pan-genomic Testing
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Genomic sequencing of tumor tissue and blood
Time Frame: Baseline; 50 years
Genomic sequencing of tumor tissue and blood will be performed to determine genomic alterations in germline and somatic cancer-related genes (SNVs, indels, CNVs from DNA and fusions from RNA) to allow the ordering hematologist/oncologist/provider to determine optimal therapy and clinical trial prospective. Researchers across the field of genomic sequencing report findings about new variations in scientific publications and collect it in databases every day. Consequently, any patient's variant of uncertain significance (VUS) result could be reclassified by emerging findings, turning previously unresolved tests into diagnostic answers. Our Translational Omics Program has a system to re-analyze a patient's exome/genome data against these new genetic findings-reviewing data and comparing it with emerging clinical genetic data to facilitate diagnoses.
