D9902, A COG Soft Tissue Sarcoma Diagnosis, Biology and Banking Protocol

Summary

To collect tissue, bone marrow or peripheral blood samples of patients with rhabdomyosarcoma for deposit in a repository for long-term storage. Samples will be collected at the time of initial diagnosis of cancer or at the time of a second surgical procedure if it occurs prior to treatment. Samples also will be collected if and when patients develop a second primary tumor. These samples will be obtained when other samples are obtained for standard care. These samples can be used for approved projects by laboratory-based investigators.
