Molecular Analysis of Samples From Patients With Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma and Brainstem Glioma
The purpose of this study is to prospectively collect specimens from pediatric patients with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma or brainstem glioma, either during therapy or at autopsy, in order to characterize the molecular abnormalities of this tumor.

Molecular and Clinical Risk-Directed Therapy for Infants and Young Children With Newly Diagnosed Medulloblastoma
This is a multi-center, multinational phase 2 trial that aims to explore the use of molecular and clinical risk-directed therapy in treatment of children 0-4.99 years of age with newly diagnosed medulloblastoma.

Molecular Basis of Pediatric Liver Cancer
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.

Molecular Characterization of Neuroblastic Tumor: Correlation With Clinical Outcome
The purpose of this study is to find out the genetic and biochemical makeup of your neuroblastic tumor, which influences its aggressiveness and the suitable therapy. These research studies include surface marker analysis, cytogenetics, cancer genes,genome sequencing, tumor growth-related genes and tumor growth in test tubes. Your blood, marrow, and hematopoietic stem cell samples will also be tested for tumors or leukemia cells, and your serum tested for anti-tumor antibodies.

Molecular Profiling and Matched Targeted Therapy for Patients With Metastatic Melanoma
This is a patient oriented translational research project aiming to improve clinical outcomes for patients with BRAF and NRAS wild-type unresectable Stage III or Stage IV metastatic melanoma who have progressed on, or are unable to receive standard therapy (in general, immunotherapy). Consecutive patients seen at three major clinics and fitting the broad eligibility criteria will be invited to participate. The approach is designed to test the impact of different targeted drugs on different mutations in a single type of cancer. In this project, patients will have tumour tissue genetically profiled to determine which mutation(s) are present, and will then be assigned to receive a...

MoleMapper, Visiomed, and Confocal Microscopy in Screening Participants for Melanoma
This trial studies how well MoleMapper, Visiomed, and confocal microscopy work in screening participants for melanoma. Analyzing images (photographs) made with three different portable imaging systems may be as good as a visit to a dermatologist's office for finding melanomas before they can spread.

Monitoring of Patients With Diffuse Gliomas Using Circulating miRNAs
MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of genes and, consequently, of intracellular signalling pathways that govern cellular behaviour (Komatsu et al., 2023). They are widely implicated in oncogenesis, and in particular in mechanisms promoting cell migration, invasion and proliferation (Romano et al., 2021). Several preliminary studies have shown that serum levels of pro-oncogenic microRNAs correlate with tumor rates in gliomas (Jones et al., 2021; Levallet et al., 2022; Morokoff et al., 2020). Morokoff's study showed encouraging but insufficient results on the possibility of using microRNAs to differentiate radionecrosis...

Monitoring of Patients With Low-grade Gliomas Using Circulating miRNA
With around 3,400 cases per year in France, diffuse gliomas are the most common primary tumours of the central nervous system. Their grade varies from 2 to 4. Whatever the grade, their prognosis is poor, because tumour recurrence is systematic, because no personalised medicine is available for the treatment of these cancers, and because the tools for monitoring recurrence are imperfect. Treatment of diffuse gliomas is based on removal of as much of the tumour as possible, whatever its grade. Surgery is followed by radiotherapy and chemotherapy depending on the grade and quality of the excision. In the event of recurrence, the patient may be offered second-line chemotherapy or...

MR Based Prediction of Molecular Pathology in Glioma Using Artificial Intelligence
This registry aims to collect clinical, molecular and radiologic data including detailed clinical parameters, molecular pathology (1p/19q co-deletion, MGMT methylation, IDH and TERTp mutations, etc) and conventional/advanced/new MR sequences (T1, T1c, T2, FLAIR, ADC, DTI, PWI, etc) of patients with primary gliomas. By leveraging artificial intelligence, this registry will seek to construct and refine algorithms that able to predict molecular pathology or subgroups of gliomas.

MR Based Survival Prediction of Glioma Patients Using Artificial Intelligence
This registry aims to collect clinical, molecular and radiologic data including detailed survival data, clinical parameters, molecular pathology (1p/19q codeletion, MGMT methylation, IDH and TERTp mutations, etc) and conventional/advanced/new MR sequences (T1, T1c, T2, FLAIR, ADC, DTI, PWI, etc) of patients with primary gliomas. By leveraging artificial intelligence, this registry will seek to construct and refine algorithms that able to predict patients' survivals in the frame of molecular pathology or subgroups of gliomas.
