People's genetic markers and other genetic characteristics can affect their response to drug therapy. Researchers want to screen people for these markers and characteristics. They want to do this before the people are screened for studies at the National Cancer Institute. That should save time that can be lost when people go through the whole screening for a study only to find out they cannot join. The data collected may also be used to select the proper dose of anticancer agents that are being studied.
Objective:
To screen people for genetic markers and/or baseline characteristics. These will be used to determine if they can enroll in a clinical trial. They may also be used to select the proper dose of anticancer agents that are being tested.
Eligibility:
Adults 18 and older who are being considered for or being treated in a National Cancer Institute study
Design:
Participants will have their blood drawn for genetic tests.
Some participants will have a cheek swab.
Participants genetic data will be stored for future research. It could be shared with other researchers.

INCLUSION CRITERIA: - Any patient who is being evaluated for and/or treated on an IRB-approved protocol at the National Cancer Institute. - Age >18 years. - Ability of subject to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. EXCLUSION CRITERIA: - A patient will be excluded if there is an insufficient quality or quantity of sample available to perform the assay and no further sample can be drawn in order to re-assess the status of a genetic or biomarker.
