Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to establish a registry of survivors of cancer, tumor, or a related illness.
Interventions
GENETICFamily History Questionnaire (FHQ)
Consented subjects will be given the Family History Questionnaire (FHQ) to complete either in clinic or at home. Subjects who chose to complete the FHQ at home will be given a stamped envelope with a label.

GENETICSalvia sample
The saliva samples will be collected in Oragene DNA Self-Collection Kits or a similar product. Patients will be instructed to donate about 2ml of saliva into a vial, which contains 2ml of product. Oragene or similar solution.
OTHERBlood sample
Subjects will be offered the option of a blood collection instead of saliva. For adult subjects who opt for blood collection, two tubes of blood (approximately 20cc) will be drawn from the utilizing a sterile technique. For subjects under the age of 18 who opt for blood collection, approximately 3-5cc of blood will be collected utilizing a sterile technique.
