What this research studies
If you enroll, you would be asked to provide blood, bone marrow, and other tissue samples at several timepoints after a new leukemia diagnosis (multiple myeloma is excluded). The samples are processed and stored in a CAP-accredited biorepository with strict quality control. Your clinical information is linked to the samples in a secure database so researchers can study disease changes over time. High-quality, well-annotated specimens are shared with approved leukemia research projects to support new discoveries.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: People newly diagnosed with a hematologic malignancy (excluding multiple myeloma) who are treated at or referred to Siteman Cancer Center are the intended participants.
Not a fit: Patients with multiple myeloma are not eligible, and contributing samples may not provide direct clinical benefit to individual participants.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: Making high-quality, clinically annotated samples available could speed research that leads to better leukemia diagnostics and treatments.
How similar studies have performed: Established biobanks and specimen cores have successfully supported many research advances, and this core builds on a long-standing CAP-accredited tissue bank at Siteman.
