Overview
Brief Summary
To acquire blood samples from subjects for various purposes, including: i) determining the sensitivity and specificity of select DNA methylation markers for the detection of various types of cancer, ii) identifying benign conditions that may induce false positive or false negative results, and iii) defining the effects of potential interfering substances, such as chemotherapy drugs.
Detailed Description
Whole blood, plasma, and/or serum specimens will be collected from patients with active cancer, patients in cancer remission, patients diagnosed with benign disease, and healthy volunteers. These blood samples will be used to perform various studies to determine the utility of select DNA methylation markers for cancer diagnostic or prognostic indications.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Independent performance measure of sensitivity and specificity of a multi-analyte blood test
Time Frame: 1 month
The primary objective is to measure the performance (sensitivity and specificity) the multi-analyte blood Test for the detection of liver cancers in healthy subjects, subjects diagnosed with active cancer, subjects in cancer remission, and subjects diagnosed with a benign disease.
Secondary Outcomes
