Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to set up a prospective, fit-for-purpose collection of human body material (HBM)-blood (serum, plasma, DNA) and tissue-and standardized clinical data of patients with cutaneous melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

  • To create a biobank with samples of human body material (HBM): blood (serum/plasma/DNA) and tissue and clinical data of patients with cutaneous melanoma and non-melanoma.
  • To support future research questions (after specific approval of the Ethics Committee) by using the biobank (through satellite protocols).

If there is a comparison group: Not applicable (umbrella protocol for collection only).

Participants will:

  • Share demographics, medical and surgical history, risk factors.
  • Complete Cancer Worry Scale questionnaire.
  • Provide biological samples:
    • Blood samples (serum, plasma, DNA).
    • Tissue samples (residual tissue or additional biopsy if consented).

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Voluntary written informed consent of the participant or their legally authorized representative has been obtained prior to any screening procedures
  • Adult subjects (\>18 years of age) at time of enrolment.
  • Subjects diagnosed with cutaneous melanoma or Non-melanoma skin cancer.
  • Adult subjects able and willing to provide informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects unable or not willing to provide informed consent.
  • Pregnancy (or willing to become pregnant) is NOT an exclusion criteria (unless specified in the respective satellite protocols.
