Children’s Oncology Group Long-Term Follow-up of Study Participants

ALTE05N1: Umbrella Long-Term Follow-Up Protocol for Participants with and without a History of Cancer

Protocol Description

Through this research initiative, a Long-Term Follow-up Center (LTFC) tracks and collects information from patients who are currently enrolled on or previously participated in a Children's Oncology Group study as they age. The program is intended to help doctors learn more about the long-term effects of cancer treatment, reduce problems related to treatment, and improve patient quality of life.

Duration: Ongoing

Status: Open to Enrollment
