Summary
This study aims to discover rare genetic changes that make people more likely to develop cancer. Researchers will collect blood, saliva, and tumor samples from 100 participants who have had multiple cancers or have a strong family history of cancer, along with their relatives. By analyzing the DNA, they hope to identify mutations that drive tumor growth and better understand cancer risk in families.
