Brief Summary: This study aims to provide long-term follow-up care of patients previously enrolled in a vaccine study that involved poxviral vectors Vectors are sequences of genetic material that can be used to introduce specific genes into genetic makeup The study does not involve the use of any drug or biologic agent Participants will undergo an annual health history Because certain viruses enter into cells and create proteins from the viral genes the type of vaccine treatment used is referred to gene therapy The genes expressed by poxviral vectors do not become part of the genetic material left behind Because gene therapy is a somewhat new technology a prolonged monitoring of patients health status is necessary according to new specific reporting requirements for harmful events in patients who undergo such gene therapy studies The risk of any long-term negative effects from the gene therapy that patients had received is quite small Still it is important that there be updates at least annually This annual monitoring of health status will extend for 15 years according to guidelines from the Food and Drug Administration or for as long as patients are willing to participate

Patients who received poxviral vectors vaccinia or fowlpox or both at the National Cancer Institute through a trial affiliated with the Laboratory of Tumor Immunology and Biology may be eligible for this study

Participants will be involved in the following forms of data collection

Annual medical history and physical examinations for the first 5 years following the last vaccine
Annual telephone contact during the last 10 years
Health status check including primary cancer status secondary malignancies neurologic disorders autoimmune disorders and hematologic disorders
Blood tests for the presence of HIV antibodies
Reporting of medical problems including information on unexpected hospitalizations and medications

If a participant has died the study will document the cause of death and autopsy information if available
Detailed Description: This protocol aims to provide long-term follow-up and continued use of research specimens of participants previously enrolled on gene transfer or other immunotherapy studies at the National Cancer Institute as well as follow-up of subjects at extramural sites receiving these agents as part of a multi-site trial Subjects will undergo an annual health history for up to 15 years
