Unified Network for Integrated Fluid Collection at Yale

Summary

UNIFY is a Yale-wide liquid biopsy master repository that prospectively collects Streck-tube blood, dried blood spots (and optional archival tissue) from Yale Cancer Center patients across all tumor types for current and future research.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

* Histological or radiological evidence of a suspected or confirmed solid tumor or hematologic malignancy, OR an individual identified as high-risk for cancer (based on identified germline aberration in a cancer predisposition gene, hormonal or medical risk factors, and/or significant family history of malignancy).
* Willing and able to provide informed consent and HIPAA authorization for participation in UNIFY.
* If being co-consented for a separate primary research study, the participant must also fulfill the eligibility criteria for that primary research study. Where there is a discrepancy in eligibility criteria between UNIFY and the primary research study, the primary research study's criteria take precedence.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Inability to provide informed consent.
* Any medical contraindication to peripheral venipuncture as judged by the treating physician or research team (e.g., severe coagulopathy or other contraindication to additional research blood draw).
