Heart Health Study for Cancer Survivors
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how cancer treatments affect the heart and blood vessels in adults who survived childhood cancer. Researchers will use imaging tests to find early signs of heart problems so they can help prevent serious complications like heart attacks or strokes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You are enrolled in the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort (SJLIFE) study
- If you are a survivor, you received certain cancer treatments (platinum chemotherapy or radiation to the neck or chest)
- You have not had a stroke or major heart surgery (like bypass, stent, or valve replacement)
- You can understand and sign a consent form (or have a legal representative do so)
- If you are a control participant, you cannot be a close relative of a cancer survivor or have a history of cancer

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.
This study follows people who were treated for childhood cancer and compares them with similar adults who did not have that childhood cancer. It aims to learn about long-term health and especially walking or mobility issues over time, using check-ins that may include a mobility assessment.
This study looks at heart health in men who have survived testicular cancer. It compares those who had different treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, or chemotherapy plus a stem cell transplant) to see if there are hidden signs of heart or blood vessel problems.
This study tests a new tool that helps doctors figure out your risk for heart problems after cancer treatment. If you join, you'll get a heart risk check and possibly see a heart specialist. This could help prevent heart issues later.
This study looks at coronary calcium (a signal seen on heart scans) to help measure early or late heart blood-vessel problems in people who had cancer treatment as children or young adults. The goal is to better understand who may be at higher risk years later, especially after radiation or certain chemotherapy.
This study tests a structured heart rehabilitation program for people who have had cancer treatment. It aims to improve heart health and reduce cardiovascular problems in cancer survivors.
