Official title
Understanding the Molecular and Genetic Differences Between GCT at the Time of the Initial Diagnosis and at Late Relapse
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The current proposal is a pilot study. The Investigators plan to use next generation genome sequencing (NGGS) to define the molecular and genetic profiles of 3 cases of germ cell tumor (GCT) (with a component of yolk sac tumor) at the time of the initial diagnosis and 3 cases of late relapse GCT's, which are characterized by yolk sac tumor (and AFP secreting) predominant disease. Investigators seek to demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining tissue biopsies (either archived or new biopsy) and utilization of NGGS in studying the molecular and genetic relationships between GCT's (with a component of yolk sac tumor) at the time of diagnosis and GCT's at the time of late relapse. This study will also provide preliminary information on genetic alterations, which may be a hypothesis for generating another study.
