About this trial

This registry will help us develop better methods of:

* Preventing these cancers * Diagnosing these cancers * Treating these cancers

Eligibility criteria

This trial accepts healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Must be ≥ 18 years of age AND

Must be an English-speaker AND

Must have a diagnosis or suspicion of kidney cancer

Must be ≥ 18 years of age AND

Disqualifiers

Patients who, in the opinion of the primary MSKCC clinician or the investigator, have a condition that precludes their ability to provide an informed consent

Trial population

Urologists, clinical geneticists, and medical oncologists at MSKCC, along with study personnel will identify patients, family members, and unaffected controls that may be eligible for the registry. Patients and families may also be directly referred to the MSKCC study team by any MSKCC physician, external physician, or by the family itself.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • salvia for germline DNA

    Other intervention
  • the Kidney Cancer Questionnaire

    Behavioral

    Patients will complete the appropriate surveys on either paper or on the computer/iPad in the office using REDCap software. If patients are unable to complete their questionnaires at the time of their in-office visit, a link to the questionnaires in REDCap will be emailed to them. The survey data that is collected in REDCap will be stored in REDCap. Clinic staff may also call patients to remind patients to complete questionnaires.

  • Family History Questionnaire (when applicable)

    Behavioral

    Patients will complete the appropriate surveys on either paper or on the computer/iPad in the office using REDCap software. If patients are unable to complete their questionnaires at the time of their in-office visit, a link to the questionnaires in REDCap will be emailed to them. The survey data that is collected in REDCap will be stored in REDCap. Clinic staff may also call patients to remind patients to complete questionnaires.

  • Blood draw

    Other intervention
  • Epidemiologic Questionnaire

    Behavioral

    Patients will complete the appropriate surveys on either paper or on the computer/iPad in the office using REDCap software. If patients are unable to complete their questionnaires at the time of their in-office visit, a link to the questionnaires in REDCap will be emailed to them. The survey data that is collected in REDCap will be stored in REDCap. Clinic staff may also call patients to remind patients to complete questionnaires.
