Germ-Line Mutations in Blood and Saliva Samples From Patients With Cancer
Sponsor: Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center
Summary
This research trial studies germ-line mutations in blood and saliva samples from patients with cancer. Studying samples of blood and saliva from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about how inherited genetic mutations can affect cancer predisposition (an inherited increase in the risk of developing cancer), their impact on treatment response, and their role in cancer development.
Official title: An Investigation of the Role of Germ-Line Mutations in Cancer Predisposition, Tumor Biology, and Response to Treatment
