Inclusion Criteria
Must have histologically confirmed advanced kidney, urothelial, and prostate cancer and recurrent disease
WIllingness to undergo phlebotomy for research blood samples

The purpose of this study is to collect blood and cancer tissue samples from patients with advanced kidney, bladder, or prostate cancer. Advanced cancer means that the cancer has spread to other parts of the body or has come back after treatment. This study will help researchers understand more about these types of cancer by studying the samples.
Participants will be asked to provide blood samples and tissue samples. Blood samples are collected through a process called phlebotomy, which is drawing blood from a vein. Tissue samples are collected from the cancerous area to help researchers learn more about the cancer.
- Who can participate: Adults with histologically confirmed advanced kidney, bladder, or prostate cancer who are willing to provide blood samples can participate. Participants must not have any serious medical or psychiatric conditions that would interfere with their safety.
- Study details: Participants will provide blood and tissue samples for research purposes. Blood will be drawn using a needle, a process known as phlebotomy. Participants must be willing to undergo phlebotomy for blood samples. No payment will be provided for participation.
