PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To provide a blinded reference set of cancer versus (vs.) non-cancer blood samples that will be used to validate assays for inclusion in a prospective clinical trial focused on utility of blood-based multi-cancer early detection.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Evaluate test performance at the time of initial cancer diagnosis by tumor type.
II. Evaluate test performance at the time of initial cancer diagnosis by clinical stage.
OUTLINE:
Participants complete a questionnaire at baseline. Participants undergo collection of blood samples at registration and at 12 months after registration. Patients with a cancer diagnosis may undergo collection of tissue samples at registration and 12 months after registration.
After completion of study, participants are followed up at 1 year.

- Provision of blinded reference set of cancer versus non-cancer blood samples [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Diagnostic ability will be assessed across the entire cohort of 2000 subjects by estimating the sensitivity and specificity with 95% confidence intervals.
- Test performance at the time of initial cancer diagnosis by tumor type [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Diagnostic ability is assessed within each cancer type and within each cancer type and stage combination by estimating the sensitivity and specificity with 95% confidence intervals. The width of these confidence intervals will vary by sample size and the sensitivity and specificity rates.
- Test performance at the time of initial cancer diagnosis by clinical stage [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Diagnostic ability is assessed within each cancer stage and within each cancer type and stage combination by estimating the sensitivity and specificity with 95% confidence intervals. The width of these confidence intervals will vary by sample size and the sensitivity and specificity rates.
