Treatment: Other - Whole Genome Sequencing

Treatment: Other - Targeted Panel Sequencing
Treatment: Other - High Throughput Sequencing (in vitro)
Treatment: Other - Patient Derived Xenograft (PDX)(in vivo)
Other interventions - Liquid Biopsy

High-risk cancers - One of the following two criteria must be met:

1. Confirmed or suspected high-risk malignancy defined as expected overall survival \< 30% based on current literature for the specific cancer
2. Cancers for which standard therapy would result in unacceptable and severe morbidity (e.g., infantile fibrosarcoma where definitive surgery would require amputation of limb) Note: This does not include HR neuroblastoma at diagnosis as this group of patients have an overall survival =30% and belongs to Cohort 4A.

Rare tumors - At least one of the following three criteria must be met:

1. A rare tumor of uncertain prognosis due to rarity of disease
2. A rare tumor with no established treatment strategy
3. A cancer where routine histopathological examination has not been able to establish a diagnosis
4. Confirmed histiocytic disorder AND molecular profiling may facilitate diagnosis and/or treatment
5. Confirmed proliferative vascular or lymphatic malformation AND has failed conventional treatment, e.g., surgery or embolization, OR no appropriate treatment is available AND the disease is organ, limb or life threatening, or debilitating

Primary central nervous system (CNS) tumours - Patient is suspected or confirmed to have a primary CNS tumor, including low and high-grade tumors

Neuroblastoma - Patient is suspected or confirmed to have neuroblastoma 4A: HR neuroblastoma at diagnosis 4B: Non-HR neuroblastoma

Acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome and other leukemias not classified as ALL - Patient is confirmed by flow cytometry to have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or other leukemias (Note: Verbal confirmation of flow cytometry result is adequate for enrolment)

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) - Patient is confirmed to have acute lymphoblastic leukemia by flow cytometry (Note: Verbal confirmation of flow cytometry result is adequate for enrolment)

Lymphomas - Patient is suspected or confirmed to have a lymphoma

Sarcomas - Patient is suspected or confirmed to have a sarcoma Includes gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST), malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumour (MPNST), desmoplastic small round cell tumour (DSRCT)

Renal tumors - Patient is suspected or confirmed to have a renal tumor Includes clear cell sarcoma of kidney

Hepatic and biliary tree tumors - Patient is suspected or confirmed to have a liver or biliary tree tumor

Thyroid and endocrine tumors - Patient is suspected or confirmed to have a thyroid or endocrine cancer

Other tumors - Patient is suspected or confirmed to have a tumor which does not fit into any of the above

Germline only - One of the following two criteria must be met:

1. Patients whose submitted tumor sample could not yield sufficient DNA for any molecular analysis AND participants/parents have consented to return of germline findings.
2. Patients who do not have appropriate tumor sample to be submitted for molecular profiling may be considered for germline only analysis. Obtaining tumor samples wherever possible will be encouraged.


Treatment: Other: Whole Genome Sequencing
Each tumor sample will be sequenced and analyzed in parallel with its matched normal (germline DNA from the same patient) to enable the identification of somatic aberrations.

Treatment: Other: RNA seq
Results will be used for bioinformatics analysis for fusion transcripts and gene expression.

Treatment: Other: DNA Methylation
Genome-wide assessment of DNA methylation will be conducted on all samples where possible.

Treatment: Other: Targeted Panel Sequencing
Targeted panel sequencing may be performed:

1. When WGS is not feasible or appropriate, e.g., insufficient DNA from fresh or frozen sample or only Formalin-Fixed Paraffin-Embedded (FFPE) material is available
2. When mosaicism is suspected
3. When indicated for a disease type

Treatment: Other: High Throughput Sequencing (in vitro)
High throughput drug screening will be attempted for tumors from Cohort 1 (high-risk cancers with survival \<30%) and selected tumor types.

Treatment: Other: Patient Derived Xenograft (PDX)(in vivo)
In vivo drug testing in patient derived xenograft (PDX) will be attempted for tumors from Cohort 1 (high-risk cancers) and selected tumor types.

Other interventions: Liquid Biopsy
Liquid biopsy will be investigated as a non-invasive method for diagnosis of tumors that are difficult to biopsy directly, understanding tumor heterogeneity, monitoring of treatment response, and detection of minimal residual disease (MRD)/relapse in leukemia, solid and CNS tumors.
