About this study
In plain language
This study looks at gene differences that may affect how well cancer treatment works or the side effects it causes. It is for people with cancer receiving treatment at the National Cancer Institute. Participants give a blood sample, or a cheek swab if they have a blood cancer such as leukemia.
Background: \- Some genes may be associated with a greater chance of side effects during cancer treatment. These genes may also make certain treatments less effective. Researchers want to collect blood or cheek swab samples from people having cancer treatment to study these genes. Objectives: \- To obtain a blood or cheek swab sample to study genetic differences that may affect cancer treatment. Eligibility: \- Individuals with cancer who are being treated at the National Cancer Institute. Design: * Participants will provide a blood sample for study. * Participants who have blood-based cancer, such as leukemia, will provide a cheek swab sample. * If the blood or cheek swab sample does not have enough genetic material for analysis, an additional sample may be collected.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
