Fine needle aspirates and venous blood were prospectively obtained between 2009 and 2012 at time of diagnosis and prior to commencing chemotherapy at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH), a regional referral hospital for pediatric cancer in western Kenya. Tumor aspirates were smeared and stained with Giemsa/May-Grunwald for morphologic diagnosis by microscopy. Morphology was assessed by two independent pathologists to verify the diagnosis. Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) were isolated from the blood immediately after collection and PBMCs were cryopreserved for future studies. Written informed consent was obtained from a parent or legal guardian of the child before enrollment. Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board at the University of Massachusetts Medical School and the Scientific and Ethics Review Unit at the Kenya Medical Research Institute. Approval for this study was also granted by the JOOTRH, Kenya Ministry of Health Ethical Review Committee.
