Donate a child’s tumor tissue for research after passing
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study collects a child’s tumor tissue and cells after death to help researchers learn more about cancers and other tumor conditions. You can take part if the required consent and permission are completed.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be a pediatric patient (child) with a tumor diagnosis, including cancer or non-cancer tumors
- Have a solid tumor, blood-related tumor, or a brain/nervous system tumor (neuro-oncology)
- Consent must be signed for post-death tissue donation
- Consent must be signed for an autopsy
- No signed consent means the patient can’t be included

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at leftover tissue samples from children who have had tumors or birth conditions. Researchers want to learn more about how these conditions develop, and you may help if you or a relative fits the criteria.
This study collects and studies tissue or bone marrow samples from certain childhood tumors. The goal is to learn what’s going on inside the cancer (using molecular testing) to better understand the disease and how it may respond to treatment.
This study collects samples like blood, urine, and possibly tissue to support cancer research. You may help researchers learn more about cancer and how to better detect or treat it.
This study collects leftover brain or spinal tumor tissue during neurosurgery (or from autopsies) so researchers can test drugs and measure how they work. It may help future treatments by improving drug screening using real patient tissue.
This study collects children’s normal and tumor tissue (or blood-related normal samples) and reads their DNA/RNA to look at genetic information. It may help researchers understand cancer-related changes and improve future testing, even when the goal isn’t to treat you directly.
This trial collects a small piece of your tumor right after it is removed during surgery. Researchers will study this tissue to learn more about cancer and how it responds to treatments.
