• Provision of signed and dated informed consent form.
• Stated willingness to comply with all study related blood draws and assessments for the duration of the study.
• Individuals who are 18 years old or older at the time of consent.
• Patients with a rare (fewer than 6 cases per 100,000 per year) solid tumor or lymphoma with evaluable disease at baseline. The complete list of included cancers are included in the study protocol; diseases not listed in the study protocol may be enrolled with the approval of the Principal Investigator.
• May or may not have had qualifying (by Foundation Medicine) comprehensive genomic profiling before the present study. For those who have had qualifying comprehensive genomic profiling performed prior to the present study, the archival specimen tested must have been harvested within 18 months of the baseline visit (i.e. date of consent) of the present study.
• Willingness to provide existing archived and/or newly collected tissue resulting from standard of care procedures and blood samples for genomic profiling. If the submitted sample is determined to be insufficient for testing, the patient will be considered to be a screen failure.
• For archival tissue to be used for comprehensive genomic profiling for the present study, that specimen must have been harvested within 18 months of the baseline visit (i.e. date of consent) of the present study.
• Willingness to provide clinical and medical information to the study team as required.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2.
