Human blood will be collected to serve as control in validating clinical studies studying
the detection and levels of circulating tumor cells and microvesicles in cancer patients.
Targeted population is cancer-free 18-60 year old men and women. Volunteer selection will
rely upon a short health questionnaire. About 20 mL blood will be collected from volunteers

cancer-free volunteer population to serve as negative controls for this detection
assay.
