Stopped: Additional mechanisms/trials to enroll these patients exist and competed with the trial.
The investigators are doing this research to see if they can use small tissue samples or fluid to develop a test that will determine if the tissue samples are related or not related to each other. The test will use the patient's DNA, which is part of their unique genetic material that carries the instructions for the body's development and function. Cancer can result from changes in a person's genetic material that causes cells to divide in an uncontrolled way and, sometimes, to travel to other organs. Currently, researchers and doctors know some of the genetic changes that can cause cancer, but they do not know all of the genetic changes that can cause cancer.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Feasibility measured by being able to gather small samples from patients and having enough tissue to get results from the mate pair next generation sequencing.
