Fanconi Anemia Cancer Cell Repository

RATIONALE: Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue from patients with Fanconi anemia
to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer in the future.

PURPOSE: This laboratory study is collecting and storing tumor tissue samples from patients
with Fanconi anemia.

OBJECTIVES:

- Acquire rare solid tumor samples from patients with Fanconi anemia in order to create a
Fanconi Anemia Cell Repository at the Oregon Health and Science University Cancer
Institute.

- Study repository tissue using a variety of molecular methods, including gene
microarrays.

- Develop cancer cell lines that are publicly available from tissue archived from patients
with Fanconi anemia.

OUTLINE: Tumor biopsies are collected from patients with Fanconi anemia and archived for
future molecular studies, cell line generation, and general usage by the research community
at large. Medical information about the patient's cancer is also archived.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Not specified.

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Confirmed Fanconi anemia

- Confirmed malignant solid tumor

- Biopsy of tumor tissue available

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

- Not specified

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
