Overview
This study evaluates the effectiveness of robotic biopsies in providing information about hereditary or cancer specific genetic variants that may have a role in diagnosis of cancer and to develop genetic results and medical record databank for future studies.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Assessing whether the percentage of samples adequate for WES (Whole Exome Sequencing)/WT (Wild-Type) sequencing is at least 80%.
II. Development of a data bank of WES/WT and germline sequencing data for future analyses.
OUTLINE: This is an observational study.
Patients receive genomic counseling and genomic testing education, undergo blood or saliva collection, provide previously collected tissue sample and have medical records reviewed on study. Patients and healthcare providers receive results of any genetic variants found on testing.
