Radiation outcomes in children and young adults with pediatric cancers
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks back at past patients and follows new patients to understand how well radiation therapy works and what side effects it causes in children, teens, and young adults (and some older adults with childhood-type cancers) treated at the Pediatric Radiotherapy Unit in Aviano. It helps doctors learn more about the benefits and risks of radiation for these cancers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are under 25 years old, or you are 25 or older but have a cancer type that is usually seen in children (like medulloblastoma, sarcoma, Wilms tumor, or neuroblastoma).
- You received radiation therapy at the Pediatric Radiotherapy Unit of the CRO in Aviano.
- Your radiation treatment took place between October 1991 and September 2030 (the study is still ongoing for future patients).
- You are able to give permission for your medical data to be used, or you already gave permission when you were treated.

This study looks at how children's bodies respond to radiation therapy for certain cancers. By analyzing blood samples, researchers hope to learn why some children experience more side effects, which could help personalize future treatments.
This study looks at how proton beam therapy (a precise type of radiation) affects the teeth and face in children and teens who had head or neck cancer. The goal is to understand these long-term effects and help improve future care.
This study looks at thyroid cancer in people who had radiation therapy as children, comparing them to people who did not have radiation. The goal is to see how often thyroid cancer develops after childhood radiation.
This study looks at how rehabilitation services help children, teens, and young adults with cancer. It includes people at any stage of treatment or after treatment ends.
This study looks back at children’s radiation treatments to understand long-term heart and lung side effects from modern radiotherapy. It may help doctors better plan safer radiation for future patients.
This study is a registry that collects information from children and teens who receive radiation therapy at participating hospitals. It helps researchers learn how radiation is used in pediatrics and may improve future care.
