Gut health and symptoms in childhood cancer survivors
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how cancer survivors' symptoms (like pain, fatigue, or mood) are connected to the bacteria living in their gut. It aims to understand why some children have different symptom patterns after treatment, which could help doctors provide better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study follows people who survived certain childhood cancers to learn what long-term health effects may happen after treatment. It also compares survivors with siblings to help researchers understand differences that may be related to cancer or treatment.
This study follows children, teens, and young adults with cancer and people who have completed treatment. It aims to better understand cancer care over time and what affects outcomes, which may help improve future treatment and follow-up.
This study looks at how gut bacteria might be connected to memory or thinking problems in people with cancer. If you join, you will answer surveys and provide stool samples to help researchers understand this link.
This research study follows young people (babies through age 21) who have been diagnosed with cancer and are currently receiving treatment or in follow-up care. The study aims to better understand their care experiences and outcomes.
This study is designed to help adolescent and young adult cancer survivors manage symptoms and smoothly transition to post-treatment care. If you finished treatment for certain cancers within the past 1 to 5 years, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how the bacteria living in your child's gut may affect cancer-related symptoms (like nausea, fatigue, or pain) during leukemia treatment. Researchers will collect stool samples and track symptoms to understand this connection better.
