Heart health study for childhood cancer survivors
This study checks heart health in adult survivors of childhood cancer who had certain heart-related treatments years ago. If you haven't had a heart ultrasound in the last 5 years, you may be able to help researchers learn how to better monitor heart health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
