Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Provide follow-up visits for previously enrolled Center for Cancer Research patients who are long-term survivors and may not be currently entered on an active protocol.

OUTLINE: This is a follow-up study.

Patients undergo long-term standard tests and procedures, including laboratory tests, diagnostic radiography, and nuclear medicine studies based on the patient's diagnosis, prior therapy, and supporting clinical information, to follow course of disease and effects of prior therapies until the patient enters another active primary protocol OR follow-up is no longer required at the Center for Cancer Research.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,000 patients will be accrued for this study.
