UCSF Biobank for Hereditary Cancers and Tumor-Associated Mutations
This study is creating a collection of samples and information from people with hereditary cancers (cancers that can run in families) or solid tumors with certain genetic changes. The goal is to better understand these cancers and develop new treatments. Researchers will collect blood, tissue, and excess fluid samples during your routine medical procedures, not as extra study procedures. They will also review your medical records. The study aims to develop models of these cancers from the collected samples, which will help researchers study how they grow and respond to treatments. This study is for adults aged 18 and older.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning participants are not given a specific treatment. It plans to enroll up to 50,000 participants.
- What's involved
- If you join, samples of your blood, tissue, or excess fluid will be collected during routine medical procedures you would have anyway. Your medical chart will also be reviewed.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary goal of developing tumor models will be measured for up to 10 years.

What this trial measures
- Develop participant-derived tumor models of hereditary cancersUp to 10 years
Participant-derived models may include (but are not limited to) xenografts (PDX), organoids (PDO), and cell lines (PDCLs). These models recapitulate the biology and tissue context of the original tumors from which they are derived and can be used to study effective therapeutic strategies.
