What is the Purpose of this Study?
This is an observational study that collects health information and samples from children, teens, and young adults with certain cancers or tumors. Participants may join one of two projects that include reviewing medical records and collecting samples such as blood, tissue, saliva, urine, or other body fluids to help researchers learn more about these diseases.
This study is for children, teens, and young adults with certain tumors or cancers, including cancers that are benign, borderline, or malignant. It also includes people with certain tumors of the brain, kidney, blood, immune system, hormone-producing tissues, and other rare tumor types.
