Molecular Epidemiology of Pediatric Germ Cell Tumors

Summary

A Non-Therapeutic Study that aims to establish a cohort of GCT survivors to understand short term and long-term adverse effects of treatment and to conduct molecular analyses to improve risk stratification.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

* Cases will be eligible for the study if they have a primary diagnosis of GCT including germinoma (ICCC code105 9060-9065), teratoma (9080-9084), embryonal carcinoma (9070-9072), yolk sac tumor (9071), choriocarcinoma (9100, 9103, 9104), and mixed GCT (9085, 9101, 9102, 9105) in all sites including the brain.
* The patient must be enrolled on APEC14B1 with consent to future contact or enrolled in AEPI10N1 with consent for future contact (N=827). Patients enrolled in AEPI10N1 were recruited from ACCRN07. All patients must be registered with COG by a North American member institution. Note: (history of) treatment on a COG therapeutic trial is not required.
* Patients must be diagnosed at \< 20 years of age at the time of GCT diagnosis. Study participants will be followed over time in the survivorship study so there is no maximum age for participation.
* Participants must be able to complete study related documents in English or Spanish.
* All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must provide informed consent. Assent will be obtained for participants between the ages of 8-17 years.
* All institutional, FDA, and NCI requirements for human studies must be met.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Participants from AEPI10N1 who did not consent to future contact. Patients who do not meet the eligibility criteria described above or cannot complete study materials in English or Spanish
