About this study
Official title: Protocol for the Enrollment on the Official COG Registry, The Childhood Cancer Research Network (CCRN)
The Children's Oncology Group has established a research network, the Childhood Cancer Research Network (CCRN), to collect information about children with cancer and other conditions that are benign but involve abnormal cell growth in order to help doctors and scientists better understand childhood cancer. The CCRN's goal is to collect clinical information about every child diagnosed with cancer and similar conditions in the United States and Canada, to allow researchers to study patterns, characteristics, and causes of childhood cancer. The information can also help researchers study the causes of childhood cancer. To expand the CCRN, parents of children who have been diagnosed with cancer will be asked to provide information about themselves and their child for research purposes.

OBJECTIVES:
- To obtain informed consent from parents of infants, children, adolescents, and young adults newly diagnosed with cancer (and their child when appropriate) to enter their names and certain information concerning their child into the Childhood Cancer Research Network and/or for permission to be contacted in the future to consider participating in future studies.
II. For children under the age of majority at the time of parental consent: Once the child reaches the age of majority, to obtain informed consent from that child to allow her/his name and other identifying information to continue to be available to the Childhood Cancer Research Network and/or to be possibly contacted in the future to consider participating in other studies.
OUTLINE:
Institutional membership in the Children's Oncology Group (COG) requires registration of all pediatric cancer patients seen at their site. This registration process includes all patients. In order to maximize the resource that a network would provide, it is necessary to have identifying information on a large proportion of the cases included within the network. Moreover, the resource would be further enhanced if informed consent from parents/patients was obtained to allow future contact regarding possible participation in non-therapeutic and prevention research.
