This study is collecting and storing tissue and blood samples from cancer patients. The samples are taken during regular medical procedures and stored for future research. Scientists use these samples to learn more about cancer and find new treatments. *Tissue* means parts of the body like organs or skin, and *blood* is the liquid that flows in our veins. A *xenograft* is when human cells are transplanted into another species for research.

To join, you must be 18 or older and have a confirmed cancer diagnosis. You can also join if your doctor thinks you have cancer based on certain tests and symptoms. If you are getting surgery later, you can join once you have a confirmed diagnosis. The study needs you to sign a consent form agreeing to use your samples for research.

Some people cannot join, like those with certain infections or non-cancerous tumors. The study won't collect samples from people with infections like HIV or active hepatitis unless medically necessary.

Key Points:

• Participation involves using samples from standard medical procedures.
• You must be 18+ with a suspected or confirmed cancer diagnosis.
• Consent is required before joining the study.
