To help us conduct a precise evaluation, it is important that we receive a complete clinical summary that describes your child's course of treatment from the time he or she was initially diagnosed. This includes available laboratory or pathology reports, patient and family HLA typing, X-ray, radiographic or MRI images, as well as a list of any previous treatments your child may have received. Please have available as much of the following information as possible when you call and when you come for your first appointment:

• Physician's name and contact information
• Diagnosis, or working diagnosis, and list of presenting symptoms
• MRI/CAT scan films
• Pathology slides and reports
• Operative note, if surgery was performed
• Radiation therapeutic summary, if radiation was delivered
• Copy of protocol, if chemotherapy was administered
• Comprehensive list of previous chemotherapeutic agents, with dates and doses, if chemotherapy was administered
• HLA typing on patient and family members
