Study of Late-Occurring Complications in Childhood Cancer Survivors
Overview
Study type
ObservationalStudy IDs
About this study
This clinical trial is studying cancer survivors to identify those who are at increased risk of developing late-occurring complications after undergoing treatment for childhood cancer. A patient's genes may affect the risk of developing complications, such as congestive heart failure, heart attack, stroke, and second cancer, years after undergoing cancer treatment. Genetic studies may help doctors identify survivors of childhood cancer who are more likely to develop late complications.

- Ischemic stroke (IS)
- Subsequent malignant neoplasm (SMN)
- Avascular necrosis (AVN); Please Note: case enrollment has been closed due to achievement of target accrual
- Submission of a blood specimen (or in certain cases a buccal cell specimen) to the Clinical Pharmacokinetics Laboratory at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as per the requirements; Please Note: if a patient is currently receiving active cancer treatment, it is preferable to obtain the blood sample at a time when the patient's WBC is > 2,000
- Written informed consent from the patient and/or the patient's legally authorized guardian, obtained in accordance with institutional policies approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
