About this trial
New York Cancer and Blood Specialists(NYCBS) is dedicated to provide world-class, patient-centered, affordable care to patients with cancer and blood disorders in their own communities, close to family and friends. Our vision is a world free of cancer and blood disorders by contributing to the search for cures by offering cutting-edge clinical trials and personalized, state-of-the-art treatments that save and prolong lives. In support of these objectives NYCBS has created a centralized oncology biorepository in tandem with a longitudinal study to support translational research. This study establishes a biological sample bank and associated data reservoir from thousands of cancer patients, high risk populations, and survivors. This means it collects and stores samples and information over time, throughout the course of a patient's cancer treatment. Researchers will then use these samples and information to better understand how cancer affects the body over time in order to formulate new treatments. The information and samples provided will allow the testing of new therapies and aid in the development of new medical treatments.
