• Provide a repository for long-term storage of malignant, borderline malignant neoplasms, and related biological specimens from these patients.

• Make specimens available to qualified researchers to understand the biology of cancer in these patients.

OUTLINE: Tumor tissue samples, blood, and bone marrow aspirates are collected and stored for future analysis.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Not specified.
