Why Researchers Need Cancer Donors

Your blood carries data that cannot be created in a laboratory.

Oncology research depends on real patient biomarkers — circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), tumor-associated antigens, immune response profiles, and treatment response data that only exist in the blood of cancer patients.


This data powers the development of targeted therapies, immunotherapies, early detection methods like liquid biopsy, and companion diagnostics that match patients to the right treatment faster.


Researchers need blood from every stage of the cancer journey — from initial diagnosis through active treatment, into remission, and across long-term survivorship. Each phase carries different biomarker signatures that tell a unique part of the story.

Cancer Donor FAQs

Common questions from cancer donors.

Can I donate during active treatment?
Yes — chemo, radiation, and immunotherapy patients are specifically recruited for treatment response studies. Researchers need to see how cancer biomarkers change during active treatment. Our phlebotomists coordinate with your care team to ensure the timing is safe.
I'm in remission — do I still qualify?
Yes. Remission donors provide critical survivorship data and long-term biomarker tracking. Researchers study how tumor markers, immune profiles, and circulating DNA change in the months and years after treatment ends. Your continued participation is highly valued.
What is a "matched set"?
Some studies request blood and tissue samples from the same donor, which commands premium compensation. If you're already scheduled for a biopsy or surgical procedure, your blood donation can be paired with the tissue specimen. This gives researchers linked data from the same patient — enormously valuable for treatment development.
Does the type of cancer matter?
All cancers are in demand. Some types — like breast, colorectal, and lung — may have more active studies at any given time, but every cancer diagnosis carries biomarkers that researchers need. Rare cancers can be especially valuable because fewer donor samples exist.
Is this donation safe during treatment?
Yes. Standard blood draws are low-risk — the same as routine lab work you already do as part of cancer care. Our phlebotomists coordinate with your oncology team to ensure the donation timing is safe and does not interfere with your treatment or recovery schedule.
