Other Non-Commercial Sponsor
Sydney Children's Hospitals Network
Summary
Eligible patient's cancer cells will be tested for genetic abnormalities (mutations) and undergoing drug testing in highly specialised laboratories. A Multidisciplinary Tumour Board comprising of oncologists, clinical geneticists and scientists will then discuss the results of each case and determine whether a personalised medicine recommendation can be made. A report describing the results and Tumour Board recommendation (if any) will be provided to the patient's treating doctor. It is always at the discretion of the treating doctor whether to alter the patient's management based on the information arising from this research project.
