Summary

This laboratory study is collecting and storing tissue, blood, and bone marrow samples from young patients with cancer. Collecting and storing samples of tissue, blood, and bone marrow from patients with cancer to study in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that may occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Characterization of cell lines for expression of molecular makers that confirm the tumor-type of the cell line and the immortal nature of the cells (telomerase) and the expression of molecular markers that may correlate with drug resistance
Characterization of cell lines for mycoplasma contamination
Characterization of cell lines for the ability for sustained growth in tissue culture and/or as mouse xenografts

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Ancillary-Correlative (tissue sample collection)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Leftover tissue from diagnostic procedures and/or surgery is cryopreserved and banked. Blood and/or bone marrow are also collected and banked. Cell lines are established and characterized via reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and/or flow cytometry for biomarkers and by DNA fingerprinting. Markers to be identified may include the following: NEUROBLASTOMA: tyrosine hydroxylase, protein gene product (PGP) 9.5, GD2, HLA class I, and HSAN 1.2 antigens EWING FAMILY OF TUMORS: EWS-FLI1, EWS-ERG, and PGP 9.5 RETINOBLASTOMA: interphotoreceptor retinoid-binding protein ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA: immunophenotype ALVEOLOR RHADOMYOSARCOMA: PAX3-FKHR, PAX7-FKHR, and MyoD1 ALL CELL TYPES: telomerase expression including hTR and hTERTMutations of TP53 gene are detected by flow cytometry and/or immunocytochemistry
