Overview

This study aims to invent a test that can see tiny pieces from people with cancer (specifically DNA from a person’s cancer) in blood and urine better than tests that can currently be done. In the future, this test can possibly be used to find a small cancer before other tests can find it. 

Description

Participants will be asked to complete a 24 hour urine collection. Participants may be asked to complete a blood draw and some swab samples. Samples will be collected throughout the participant's cancer treatment journey. Researchers will ask permission to access participants' medical records for up to 10 years.
