RP-1759 AYA

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

AYA – EORTC Research Project 1759 – is focusing on adolescent and young adults with CNS and Sarcoma tumors, and collaborating with DKFZ (Heidelberg) for the molecular analysis (WES, RNAseq and methylation assay).

Molecular reports and pathology review are shared with clinicians and discussed during a molecular tumor board.

All molecular analyses (WES, RNAseq and methylation array) are performed at DKFZ (Heidelberg).

For all patients enrolled in the project, a molecular report containing the clinically relevant molecular alterations will be shared with the treating clinician. A molecular tumor board is also organised monthly to discuss the findings.

Patients aged between 12 and 29 years old with CNS or sarcoma tumor could be eligible for this project.

List of cohort

A FFPE material and a blood tube are mandatory for inclusion in this project.

The AYA project has been supported by Walgreens Boots Alliance.

LIST OF COHORTS

For SPECTA, please enroll patients with the tumor type specified in the table, ONLY when the status is green. You can enroll those patients by clicking on the , next to the green status.
Study specific information (HBM, Project Specific selection criteria, CRF completion guidelines…) can be found here . Please note that your electronic database ORTA password is required for access (protocol 1553).
