Want to help improve the treatment of people with chronic blood cancers? We are looking for healthy volunteers to take part in a simple blood-draw study. If you are generally healthy and are not taking blood thinners, you may be able to help improve treatment for patients with chronic blood cancers by donating a tablespoon of blood. This study aims to understand why individuals with chronic blood cancers have a high risk of blood clots as compared to healthy individuals, by comparing (1) the ability of blood to clot in a test tube and (2) changes in white blood cells that make them more likely to stick to blood vessels between healthy individuals and individuals with chronic blood cancers.
