Understanding Cancer Risk and Care Study

This study, called "A Lifetime Partnership With Patients Who Have or May be at Risk of Having Cancer," is observing people to improve cancer care. It's not a treatment study. Researchers are collecting biological samples (like blood and tissue), survey answers about your health and quality of life, and information from your medical charts. They hope to use this information to improve cancer care for up to 20 years. You can join if you are 18 or older, have cancer, or are at risk for cancer. The study is currently recruiting many participants.
