Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This research trial studies is deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in blood samples from patients with neuroblastoma. Studying samples of blood from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

I. Perform in a blind study a multicentric study by analyzing serum from patients at diagnosis (with a known tumor v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene neuroblastoma derived homolog (MYCN) status determined in the Children's Oncology Group \[COG\] reference lab), in order to confirm our previous data and to define the most appropriate MYCN/control ratio cutoff capable of determining positive and negative cases.

II. Define the limits of the procedure in non-metastatic patients and in those with reduced tumor burden (International Neuroblastoma Staging System \[INSS\] stage 1 and 2).

OUTLINE:

Circulating DNA is extracted from serum. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of MYCN is performed and analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. Real-time quantitative PCR is also performed.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Serum samples from neuroblastoma (NB) patients obtained through the COG (and legacy Children's Cancer Group \[CCG\]/Pediatric Oncology Group \[POG\] Biology Studies)

* The MYCN status on corresponding tumors have been determined using standard techniques; the panel of samples must be obtained from NB patients with and without MYCN amplification tumors
* Cases will be drawn from clinical subsets at greatest likelihood to benefit from this testing ability, stage 1 and 2 NBs (both infants and toddlers), stage 4 patients under 18 months of age, and 4S patients
