About the Study
This research registry will collect and save data, cancer samples and family health history information to discover new ways cancer develops. It will look to find new genes that could be used for treatments and preventing cancer for people with hereditary cancer.
This research will explore the features of samples including tumors in the stomach, intestines, and the endometrium. The study will compare these features between people with hereditary cancers and others. It will also collect blood and assess makers including DNA and RNA.
The study will do experiments in test tubes and animals to find the pathway that cancer develops and test the effects of drugs.
What the Study Involves
People will provide samples from their stomach, intestines, and/or uterus during regular procedures such as endoscopy, ultrasound, biopsy, and surgery. They will also give blood and/or saliva along with information about their treatment and the results.
