Summary

This study looks at people and families who may have a higher chance of getting blood or lymph node cancers, like leukemia or lymphoma. Researchers want to learn what causes these cancers by studying genes, environment, and medical history. Participants fill out questionnaires, give blood or cheek cell samples, and may have tests at the hospital. No treatment is given; the goal is to gather information for future prevention and care.
