Who this trial is looking for

This trial is looking for children who have had treatment for liver tumors or whose biological parents and siblings are eligible. Participants will help researchers learn more about the genetics of childhood liver cancer.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

You may be able to join if

  • I have had treatment for a childhood liver tumor before or currently.
  • I am under 21 years old.
  • I am a biological parent of an eligible child.
  • I am a biological sibling of an eligible child.

You may not be able to join if

  • I have not had treatment for a childhood liver tumor.
  • I am not a biological parent of an eligible child.
  • I am not a biological sibling of an eligible child.

Summarized in plain language from this trial's official eligibility criteria. The full criteria are further down this page — only the research team can confirm whether you qualify.

About This Trial

The purpose of this retrospective and prospective project is to understand the molecular and genetic basis of liver cancer of childhood. Understanding the molecular and genetic bases of liver cancers can offer a better classification based on tumor biology, mechanisms and predisposition.
