First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study looks at whether testing the genes of a child's solid tumor can help doctors choose a targeted therapy that may work better. Over 800 children and young adults with hard-to-treat solid tumors had their tumors profiled. The goal is to see if those who receive a therapy matched to their tumor's genetic changes live longer and to understand what factors affect treatment success.
