Collecting and Storing Tissue, Blood, and Bone Marrow Samples From Patients With Rhabdomyosarcoma or Other Soft Tissue Sarcoma

Official Title:

A COG Soft Tissue Sarcoma Diagnosis, Biology and Banking Protocol

Summary

The purpose of this study is to collect and store tumor tissue, blood, and bone marrow samples from patients with soft tissue sarcoma that will be tested in the laboratory. Collecting and storing samples of tumor tissue, blood, and bone marrow from patients to test in the laboratory may help the study of cancer.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

* Histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of 1 of the following:

* Rhabdomyosarcoma
* Non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcoma

* Chordoma
* Desmoid fibromatosis
* Desmoplastic round cell tumors
* Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the liver
* Unclassified soft tissue sarcoma that is too undifferentiated to be placed in a specific pathologic category in the WHO classification (often called ?undifferentiated soft tissue sarcoma? or ?soft tissue sarcoma NOS?)
* Other soft tissue neoplasms, excluding benign tumors
* Must have pathological specimens of tumor-containing tissue or bone marrow (beyond that needed by the institution for diagnosis) available for study
* No malignant rhabdoid tumor, Ewing sarcoma/primitive neuroectodermal tumor, or osteogenic sarcoma of bone
* No osteogenic sarcoma
