A Registry Called Every Child for Collecting Data and Biology Specimens on Younger Patients with Cancer

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this registry called Every Child, is to collect data and biospecimens from multiple body sources for younger patients with cancer over time. Gathering health information over time from younger patients with cancer may help doctors find better methods of treatment and on-going care.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

    • All cancer cases with an ICD-O histologic behavior code of two “2” (carcinoma in situ) or three “3” (malignant);
