Background:
- Rare tumors are defined as fewer than 150 incident cases per one million per year. Consequently, only 11 tumor types are common in U.S. adults (prostate, breast, lung/bronchus, colon, uterus, bladder, melanoma, rectum, ovary, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and kidney/renal pelvis neoplasms) and
The principal objective of this study is the metabolic characterization of pediatric solid tumors, with a particular focus on neuroblastoma (NBL) and fusion positive sarcoma (FPS), which will allow the detection of tumor specific metabolic alterations that can be exploited with the aim of developing
This oncology study will be a phase 2 study for patients with advanced or metastatic GIST. This study will determine overall response rate at 6 months for TMZ therapy in patients with SDH-mutant/deficient GIST.
Treatment will continue for 6 months (with option to continue if benefiting treatment) or
Background:
- Pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas (PHEOs/PGLs) are rare tumors arising from neural crest tissue that can develop in sympathetic and parasympathetic paraganglia throughout the body. Those arising in the adrenal gland are called PHEOs while those located extraadrenally are called PGLs.

Background
- Loss of activity of the Krebs cycle components succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) complex or fumarate hydratase (FH), has been identified as a mechanism of tumorigenesis in subsets of gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PHEO/PGL), and renal cell
Background:
- An estimated 1-3% of gastric cancer cases occur within a familial background as part of an inherited cancer syndrome
- Hereditary Diffuse Gastric Cancer (HDGC) is the most frequent form of familial gastric cancer and has been linked to a germline mutation in the CDH1 gene
- Gastric
BACKGROUND:
- The management of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC) continues to remain a challenge, particularly for patients with papillary and non-clear cell variants of RCC, for whom there is no standard therapy of proven benefit.
- Inactivation of the Krebs cycle enzyme Fumarate Hydratase (FH)
Background:
- Gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs) are the most common mesenchymal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract, resistant to cytotoxic chemotherapy and radiation therapy. KIT and platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRA) mutations have been identified as tumor initiating
1. INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE Pheochromocytoma (PCC) is a rare but clinically important catecholamine secreting neuro-endocrine tumour that typically arises from the adrenal gland. In addition, this neuro-endocrine tumour can also originate from chromaffin cells in sympathetic ganglia(1)(2). In this
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To assess the anti-tumor activity (in terms of the tumor response rate using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors [RECIST] criteria) of pazopanib (pazopanib hydrochloride) (GW786034) in patients with advanced malignant pheochromocytomas and
This proposed pilot study will conduct detailed interviews into the medical, environmental, and family histories and to collect blood specimen to obtain DNA. The Blood specimen and DNA will be processed by the Rutgers University Cell and DNA Repository (RUCDR) to rule out Familial Multiple Endocrine
There have not been any studies published which specifically describe the medical, environmental, and genetic factors in carcinoid tumors cases that have carcinoid in family members. While rare, with an incidence of four per 100, 000, carcinoid represents the most frequent malignancy affecting the
