Study early lung problems after childhood cancer treatment
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks for early lung (breathing) problems in children after certain cancer treatments, using lung tests and sometimes MRI scans. It may help doctors spot breathing complications earlier and guide better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had at least one cancer treatment that affected the chest, such as chest radiation, chemotherapy, stem cell transplant, or chest surgery
- You can sign permission for your child to be added to the Childhood Cancer Registry
- You (or your guardian) can provide signed informed consent for the study
- If the study plans breathing tests, your child can breathe well enough for lung testing (oxygen saturation at least 92%, not on extra oxygen)
- If the study plans MRI, your child can safely get an MRI without sedation and does not have metal like a pacemaker

This study follows people who had cancer as children to learn about heart-related changes years after treatment. It may help doctors better understand who is at risk and how to monitor the heart in long-term survivors.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the heart and lungs of childhood cancer survivors to see if chemotherapy caused any long-term changes. It may help doctors better understand and manage late effects after treatment for leukemia or lymphoma.
This study checks new ways to measure breathing in children who had a stem cell transplant to better detect a lung condition called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome. If you join, you’ll do breathing and imaging tests, and researchers will look for patterns that may help with diagnosis.
This study looks at breathing exercises for people who have finished treatment for early-stage lung cancer. You'll be asked to give a blood sample at home and do breathing training to see if it helps your recovery.
This study looks at cells from the lungs of people who developed lung inflammation after chest radiation for cancer. It aims to understand why some people get this reaction, which may help find better treatments.
This study looks at severe lung disease in children. It may help doctors better understand and treat these conditions.
