Molecular Characterization of Neuroblastic Tumor: Correlation With Clinical Outcome


Sponsor

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Enrollment

2,070 participants

Start Date

Sep 26, 2000

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out the genetic and biochemical makeup of your neuroblastic tumor, which influences its aggressiveness and the suitable therapy. These research studies include surface marker analysis, cytogenetics, cancer genes,genome sequencing, tumor growth-related genes and tumor growth in test tubes. Your blood, marrow, and hematopoietic stem cell samples will also be tested for tumors or leukemia cells, and your serum tested for anti-tumor antibodies.


Eligibility

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study collects and analyzes tumor tissue from children with neuroblastoma (a cancer that usually develops in the adrenal glands and commonly affects young children) to understand its molecular features and find better ways to predict and treat the disease. **You may be eligible if...** - Your child has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma or a related tumor (ganglioneuroma or ganglioneuroblastoma) - Tumor tissue or blood is available for molecular analysis - You consent to having your child's samples and clinical data included in the study **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your child does not have a neuroblastic tumor - No tumor tissue or biological sample is available - You are unable or unwilling to provide informed consent Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
