Mayo clinic launches massive genetic study to unlock cancer secrets

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: GROUP A: Germline and Somatic Testing * Has Mayo Clinic medical record number * Confirmed cancer diagnosis * Germline and/or somatic tumor/blood testing has been ordered by the clinical provider (or clinical delegate) * Participant aware of cancer diagnosis * Able to provide informed consent * ≥ 18 years old * Ability to provide blood, saliva, bone marrow aspirate or hair follicle sample * Ability to provide archived tissue, if somatic testing has not already been completed * Note: if tissue unavailable participant may still enroll onto the study for the germline collection, or vice versa, if germline has already been completed may still enroll for somatic tissue/blood testing. GROUP B: Germline testing only: * Has Mayo Clinic medical record number * Confirmed cancer diagnosis * Germline testing has been ordered by the clinical provider (or clinical delegate) * Participant aware of cancer diagnosis * Able to provide informed consent * ≥ 18 years old * Ability to provide blood, saliva, or hair follicle sample GROUP C: Somatic tumor testing only: * Has Mayo Clinic medical record number, * Confirmed cancer diagnosis, * Somatic tumor/blood testing has been ordered by the clinical provider (or clinical delegate) * Participant aware of cancer diagnosis, * Able to provide informed consent, * ≥ 18 years old * Ability to provide archived tissue or blood for somatic tumor genomic profiling, if not already completed. Group D: Clinical standard of care germline testing via genetic counselor: * Has Mayo Clinic medical record number, * Standard of care clinical visit with genetic counselor * Confirmed cancer diagnosis, * Germline testing has been ordered by the clinical provider (or clinical delegate) * Participant aware of cancer diagnosis, * Able to provide informed consent, * ≥ 18 years old * Ability to provide blood, saliva, or hair follicle sample Group E: Previous Enrollment in IRB #24-005734, 24-000609, 25-000815, 23-001689, or 24-004810: * Enrolled in any of the following studies: IRB #24-005734, 24-000609, 25-000815, 23-001689, or 24-004810 * Completed Riskguard, OncoExtra, Caris Assure, or Caris MI Profile or any combination of these tests. * Has Mayo Clinic medical record number, * Confirmed cancer diagnosis, * Participant aware of cancer diagnosis * Able to provide informed consent, * ≥ 18 years old Exclusion Criteria: Note: Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant can take part in this study.
