Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * 18 years of age or older * Capacity to provide informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * Due to the complexity of state and federal requirements governing the participation of prisoners in research, prisoners-patients will not be approached for participation in the Caris Biorepository. * Minor subjects will not be included in the Caris Biorepository, as it is possible biospecimens and data may be stored beyond the time limitations of assent and it may be impracticable to re-consent these subjects once they become adults. * Individuals who lack the capacity to give informed consent
