Tissue Collection for Studies of Lymph Cancer

Description

Background: - Lab studies help researchers better understand cancer biology. This information may lead to new methods for diagnosing or treating cancer. To develop these studies, researchers want to collect samples from people with cancer or precancer conditions of the lymph system. These conditions include multiple myeloma, different types of lymphoma, and adult leukemia/lymphoma. The samples collected will include blood, urine, bone marrow, and tumor and skin tissue. Objectives: - To collect tissue samples to study different types of lymph cancer. Eligibility: - Individuals at least 18 years of age who have a lymphoid cancer or precancer condition. Design: * Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. * Different samples will be collected for study. Blood samples will be collected at the initial testing. More blood samples will be collected at different treatment points. Other liquid samples include urine, bone marrow, and any abnormal fluid. Tumor tissue and skin tissue biopsies will also be collected for study. * Treatment will not be provided as part of this study.

Conditions

Hodgkin Disease, Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin, Multiple Myeloma, Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis, Leukemia-Lymphoma, Adult T-Cell

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Patients with a known lymphoid malignancy or precursor disease to a lymphoid malignancy, including multiple myeloma, B-cell and T-cell lymphomas: including but not limited to diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Hodgkin s lymphoma (HL), multiple myeloma (MM), lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL).
  • * Confirmation of pathological diagnosis is required from the Laboratory of Pathology, NCI. Tumor tissue that has been previously collected and is available for study or that can be collected with minimal additional risk to the subject during sampling required for routine patient care or required testing on an NIH research protocol will be used for diagnosis.
  • * Age \>= 18 years of age
  • * ECOG performance 0-2
  • * Ability of patient or Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document NOTE: Patients enrolling with a LAR must be co-enrolled on another study.
  • * Hemoglobin \>= 10 mg/dL and platelet count \> 75 K/uL
  • * Weight greater than 25 kg
  • * HIV negative
  • * Prothrombin Time - within normal limits
  • * Partial Thromboplastin Time - within normal limits
  • * Medically indicated central line in place or adequate peripheral venous access
  • * Pregnant individuals will not be eligible.
  • * Active symptomatic major organ disorder that would increase the risk of biopsy or apheresis, including but not limited to ischemic heart disease, recent myocardial infarction, active congestive heart failure, pulmonary dysfunction.
  • * Active concomitant medical or psychological illnesses that may increase the risk to the subject or inability to obtain informed consent, at the discretion of the principal investigator.
