The short version

What this means, and what it doesn't
What it could mean: The results could help care teams understand how these tumors affect a child's body. If your child fits, you could ask your care team about this study.
What it doesn't mean: This study is a test, not a treatment. It measures how children are doing and does not try a new treatment. Taking part is not a guarantee of any benefit. It is not a promise of a cure.
