Biomarkers in Urine Samples From Patients With Wilms Tumor

July 7, 2016 updated by: Children's Oncology Group

Discovery and Validation of Wilms Tumor Markers Using Urine Proteomics

RATIONALE: Studying samples of urine from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial studies biomarkers in urine from patients with Wilms tumor.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To validate the prognostic performance of specific-candidate Wilms tumor markers by measuring their urinary concentration using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) in urine specimens collected at diagnosis from 50 patients with favorable histology Wilms tumor who relapsed and 50 patients who did not relapse.

OUTLINE: Urine specimens are analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for biomarkers.
