Study summary

In prepubertal patients, cryopreservation of ovarian or testicular tissue is currently the only available method for fertility preservation prior to gonadotoxic cancer treatments. However, this approach carries the risk of reintroducing malignant cells upon autotransplantation, particularly in cases of metastatic cancers such as neuroblastoma and Ewing sarcoma. Therefore, it is crucial to employ highly sensitive techniques to detect minimal residual disease (MRD) in preserved gonadal tissues.

This study aims to identify the most effective detection method by comparing the sensitivity and specificity of reverse transcription quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) in identifying MRD of neuroblastoma and Ewing sarcoma in ovarian and testicular tissues from patients treated for these malignancies during infancy.

Primary outcome measure(s)

  • Validation of residual disease detection of neuroblastoma and Ewing sarcoma by ddPCR in ovarian and testicular tissues. — From 02-2025 to 02-2026 for analysis of neuroblastoma; from 02-2026 to 12-2027 for analysis of Ewing sarcoma.
    Detection of the copy number of specific tumor genes: PHOX2B for neuroblastoma and EWSR1-FLI1 for Ewing sarcoma in ovarian and testicular tissues using ddPCR. Residual disease will be detected in ovarian and testicular tissues contaminated with increasing quantities of tumor cells (0, 5, 10, 20, and 100 tumor cells) from neuroblastoma (IMR-32) and Ewing sarcoma (RD-ES), as well as in ovarian and testicular tissues from prepubertal patients diagnosed and treated for neuroblastoma and Ewing sarcoma during infancy.
