NIH launches massive sample collection to unlock disease secrets

This study collects blood, bone marrow, urine, and tissue samples from up to 6,000 people with solid tumors, blood cancers, or non-cancerous blood disorders, as well as from their healthy family members who are stem cell donors. The samples are stored and used in research to better understand diseases, improve current treatments, and find new therapies. Participants give samples during routine medical care, and some adults may also donate extra white blood cells through a procedure called leukapheresis.
