Abstract | |||
REB investigators are collaborating with extramural investigators and those from GEB in a follow-up study of 14,000 long-term childhood cancers, other outcomes to be evaluated include second and subsequent cancers, other outcomes to be evaluated include reproductive, psychosocial, and a wide range of chronic disease outcomes. The survivors completed a detailed questonnaire that included questions on the above outcomes as well as detailed family history and reproductive outcomes. Periodic follow-up questionnaires are being sent to update information on occurrence of second malignancies. Buccal cells are being requested from all members of the cohort. As a comparison group, the siblings of all cohort members were asked to complete the long earlier questionnaire. The initial cohort included childhood cancer patients diagnosed between 1970 and 1986. The cohort is now being expanded to include patients diagnosed between 1987 and 1999. |
