Background:

Approximately 150 cases of cancer per one million per year are considered rare cancers. While all tumors originate from genetic changes, a small percentage of these tumors are familial. Researchers want to study these changes in biological samples from people with rare tumors in order to learn more about how these tumors develop. The information obtained from this study may lead to improved screening, preventive guidelines, and treatments.

Objective:

To better understand rare cancers and hereditary cancer syndromes.

Eligibility:

People who have a rare tumor, a family history of a rare tumor, a hereditary cancer syndrome, or a mutation that leads to rare tumors.

Design:

Participants will be screened with questions about their medical history and/or that of their family members. They will give a saliva sample.

Participants who have a tumor will have their medical records and tests reviewed. They will answer questions about their wellbeing and needs. They may provide a tumor tissue sample.

Participants may also have:

-Physical exam

-Clinical photography

-Blood, urine, saliva, and stool samples taken

-Consultation with specialists

-A scan that produces a picture of the body. Either one that uses a small amount of radiation, or one that uses a magnetic field.

-Genetic testing/genetic counseling.

Participants will be contacted once a year. They will answer updated questions about their medical and family history.

Participants will be asked to contact the study team if there are changes in their tumors.

Participants may be invited to join focus groups for people with the same diagnosis of rare tumors.

Participants may be invited to participate in other NIH protocols.

OR

-Cohort 4: Parent/guardian of child participating in a focus group if not already enrolled on the study.
