This study is being done to create a registry to help us learn more about urinary and other cancers. This will let us look at large groups of people who do and do not have this kind of cancer.
The investigators will look at risk factors to learn more about how these impact cancer. The investigators will also look at genetic markers. These are genes that are found in a known place. They are often associated with a particular trait. If the gene changes in some way, it may predict cancer or response to treatment. The investigators will look for markers in your saliva.
This registry will help us develop better methods of:
Preventing these cancers. Diagnosing these cancers. Treating these cancers.

Patients with urothelial cancer
|
Other: saliva sample and questionaire
Urothelial Cancer Registry- Patients will complete a family history and urothelial cancer risk questionnaire, and will provide a buccal sample for germline DNA. If the cases have undergone germline sequencing as part of Protocol 12-245, they will not need to provide a buccal sample. If the cases have previously completed athe "the "Urothelial Baseline Questionnaire," in an MSKCC urology clinic they will not need to complete the urothelial cancer risk questionnaire. |
2
unrelated adults accompanying patients to clinic
|
Other: saliva sample, questionaire
Urothelial Cancer Registry- These participants will be requested to complete the risk factor questionnaire and to provide a saliva sample for DNA extraction. |
- Determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in regions discovered from whole genome scans, such as 8q24 & chromosome 3, & candidate genes, include NAT2 & GSTM1, prev found to be assoc with bladder ca risk, are assoc with UC in this study population [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
- To determine whether single nucleotide polymorphisms in the genes and regions listed above are associated with outcomes after UC diagnosis in the population [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
