Liquid Biomarker Study in Melanoma and Non-Melanoma Skin Cancers
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to study blood samples and compare them to other biospecimens and clinical outcomes in participants who have melanoma or non-melanoma skin cancers. The main question it aims to answer is: * Are blood based signatures able to predict progression-free survival (PFS)? Participants undergoing regular treatment for their skin cancer will provide blood samples.

Exclusion Criteria: * Vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, those who lack consent capacity, the mentally ill, prisoners, cognitively impaired persons, children (age \<18), and UW employees that report to the investigator(s) or to study team members. * Not suitable for study participation due to other reasons at the discretion of the investigators.
