Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) will investigate the long-term effects of cancer and its associated therapies. A retrospective cohort study will be conducted through a multi-institutional collaboration, which will involve the identification and active follow-up of a cohort of approximately 50,000 survivors of cancer, diagnosed before 21 years of age, between 1970 and 1999 and 10,000 sibling controls. This project will study children and young adults exposed to specific therapeutic modalities, including radiation, chemotherapy, and/or surgery, who are at increased risk of late-occurring adverse health outcomes. A group of sibling controls will be identified and data collected for comparison purposes.

- description
- Survivors of cancer, diagnosed under 21 years of age, between 1970 and 1999 This project will study children and young adults exposed to specific therapeutic modalities, including radiation, chemotherapy, and/or surgery, for an increased risk of late-occurring events associated with excess mortality and morbidity.

- Sibling Controls
- description
- A group of sibling controls will be identified to provide: (1) the ability to make direct comparisons with the survivors, (2) data on outcomes in a non-cancer population, and (3) additional comparison group to determine consistency of findings between data sources.

Inclusion Criteria: Initial Cohort: * Five-year survival following diagnosis of leukemia, lymphoma, CNS tumor, bone tumor, Wilms tumor, neuroblastoma, or soft tissue sarcoma before age 21 years between January 1, 1970 and December 31, 1986 at one of participating centers. Expanded cohort: * Five-year survival following diagnosis of leukemia, lymphoma, CNS tumor, bone tumor, kidney tumor, neuroblastoma, or rhabdomyosarcoma before age 21 years between January 1, 1987 and December 31, 1999 at one of participating centers. * English- or Spanish-speaking and living in the U.S. or Canada at the time of diagnosis. Exclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of non-malignant tumors (i.e., Langerhans cell histiocytosis, meningioma, craniopharyngioma, etc.) treated with radiation and/or chemotherapy. * Non-English speaking or residence outside the US or Canada. Sibling Controls: * For comparison purposes, a group of sibling controls will be identified to represent a stratified random sample based on the distribution of survivors with regard to cancer diagnosis, age, sex, race, and geographic location.
