Reproduced verbatim from the official record. Eligibility is decided by the study team, never by this page.

* INCLUSION CRITERIA:
* Participants must be 2 years of age or older. Note: Participants greater than or equal to 2 and \< 18 years of age may only participate in research sample collection if the tissue acquisition is performed during a clinically indicated surgical procedure, and the biospecimen sampling (e.g., blood, urine, ascites, bile, or \[clinically indicated\] resected tumor tissue) does not add risk to the clinically indicated procedures.
* Participants who have premalignant, primary, or metastatic solid tumors based upon either radiographic or clinical suspicion, biochemical testing, a genetic predisposition, or histological/cytological analysis that requires surgery or biopsy as part of the diagnosis, prevention, treatment, and/or follow-up.
* Participants without solid tumors in whom a diagnostic, preventative, or therapeutic intervention is being performed, but for whom surgical quality and safety outcomes data are generated.
* Participants should have laboratory and physical examination parameters within acceptable limits prior to biopsy or surgery.
* Participants must be planning to undergo surgery or biopsy as part of their normal treatment plan.
* Ability of participant, parent/guardian or legally authorized representative (LAR) to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
