Summary

Background:

Researchers want to study fluids and blood of people with cancer. The fluids are from the abdomen and around the lungs. Studying these might help researchers learn about the biology of cancer. This may lead to better ways to treat cancer.

Objectives:

To study the biology of cancer.

Eligibility:

Adults 18 and older with malignant solid tumors.

Design:

Participants will be screened with medical history, blood tests, and confirmation of diagnosis.

Participants will have samples taken at regularly scheduled procedures. Fluids from the abdomen and/or lungs will be taken as part of the procedures. Blood will be taken separately.

Participants may be asked to give more samples at future procedures.
