ClinConnect Summary

**Summary of the Clinical Trial for Patients with Childhood Cancer**

This clinical trial is focused on gathering important information about children who are being treated for cancer at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, as well as those who have been treated in the past. The goal is to keep track of the outcomes of their treatments and any long-term effects they may experience after their cancer care. As more children survive cancer thanks to advances in treatment, it’s crucial to understand how these therapies affect them over time.

To be eligible for this study, participants must be current patients at St. Jude who are still receiving treatment or follow-up for childhood cancer. Unfortunately, patients who have already been discharged from care or are only receiving a consultation will not be able to join the study. If you or someone you know is a current patient, participating means contributing to important research that could help improve care for future childhood cancer patients. Throughout the study, participants will be monitored to ensure their health and well-being, and they may receive additional support based on their needs.
