About this trial

The Marathon of Hope Cancer Centres Network (MOHCCN) is a national network of cancer centres that pursue collaborative cancer research in precision medicine (an emerging approach for disease treatment and prevention that considers individual variability in DNA, environment and lifestyle) to accelerate the discovery of innovations and improve the health outcomes for cancer patients

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients with histological and/or cytological confirmation of blood or solid tumor malignancies. For tumour types where pre-surgical biopsy is not routinely performed to confirm a pathologic diagnosis of cancer, patients may consent to this protocol, but eligibility must be confirmed after pathology is finalized demonstrating presence of malignancy

Already existing data that satisfies the minimal requirements of a gold standard case (refer to Table 1)

Have sufficient biospecimens (tumor and/or blood samples) available for more comprehensive molecular and immunophenotypic characterization

Patients who do not satisfy the required minimum data elements but would like to participate, maybe requested to donate blood and undergo a fresh biopsy if the archived Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples are not available, or in cases where a fresh tumor biopsy is deemed necessary for molecular profiling.
