Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Create a data registry of clinical and molecular/genomic data
Create a data registry of clinical and molecular/genomic data from cancer patients who have undergone biopsy or surgical resection for clinical care to better understand the relationship between genomic and molecular information and clinical outcomes.
Determine number and types of genomic alterations within tumor types/subtypes
Define genomic landscape of pediatric cancers through the determination of the number and types of genomic alterations within tumor types/subtypes, across tumor types, and tumor evolution over time.
Evaluate the rate of actionable genomic alternations
Evaluate the rate of actionable genomic alternations resulting in associated targeted therapies relative to all actionable genomic alterations.
Evaluate the correlation of baseline genomic alterations with clinical outcome.
Evaluate the correlation of baseline genomic alterations with clinical outcome.
Secondary outcomes
