The Genetics of Appendix Cancer (GAP) Study aims to analyze hereditary factors, tumor characteristics and clinical features/outcomes among adults diagnosed with appendix cancer and their biological parents. Patients are recruited at any time after a diagnosis of appendix cancer and followed for up to 6 years after study enrollment. This cohort is enriched by robust biospecimens and data collections.
