Summary

This research study is looking at the genetic makeup of tumors from 1,100 people with rare or hard-to-treat cancers. By analyzing blood and tissue samples, scientists hope to find specific gene changes that could lead to better diagnosis and more effective treatments. The goal is to understand which genetic mutations are most common in these cancers and how they might be targeted with existing or new therapies.
