An observational study in Kidney Cancer, sponsored by Children's Oncology Group. Completed. Open to participants aged Up to 1 Year. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2016-05-18.
Sponsored by Children's Oncology Group · Observational
RATIONALE: Studying samples of tissue from patients with rhabdoid tumors in the laboratory may help doctor learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify genes related to cancer.
PURPOSE: This research trial studies biomarkers in samples from young patients with rhabdoid tumors.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: Freshly frozen rhabdoid tumors will be studied using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to establish the genomic location of transposons. Protein expression in rhabdoid tumor tissue microarrays is also analyzed.
956 studies on the registry are indexed under Kidney Neoplasms; 210 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 50 is below the median of 218 across 216 observational studies indexed under Kidney Neoplasms.
