Detailed Description

An organization called the Life Raft Group (LRG) wants to find out more about a cancer called Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GIST) as well as other cancers that may or may not be related to GIST. To collect this information, LRG has created a research registry. A registry is a place where medical information, family history and other related information from patients is collected and stored for medical research. The purpose of the Life Raft Group GIST registry is to collect and store medical information and other information from individuals with the same disease or other cancers that share commonalities such as molecular targets, treatments, or other factors. Information from patients in this registry will be used for medical research to better understand GIST and these other diseases. Scientists studying GIST and these other diseases need more accurate, real-world information to understand how these diseases affect people. People with GIST and other related or unrelated diseases are being asked if they would like to participate in the Life Raft Group registry. The Life Raft Group GIST registry is also linked to a tissue bank, which is a place that stores tumor tissue, blood or other samples from patients. Participants may also be asked to provide samples to the tissue bank. Participants would need to read and sign a separate consent form about the tissue bank. Participants do not have to take part in any other Life Raft Group activities, including the tissue bank and online forums, to take part in this registry.
