ClinConnect Summary

The COMPRAYA study is a research project focused on understanding the health and emotional challenges faced by young adults aged 18 to 39 who have been diagnosed with cancer. Researchers want to learn more about the various factors that can affect their well-being after treatment, including medical issues like second cancers or fertility problems, as well as emotional challenges such as stress. By gathering information from these young cancer survivors, the study aims to improve future cancer care and support for patients in this age group.

To be eligible for the study, participants must be between 18 and 39 years old and have a confirmed cancer diagnosis. They will be asked to fill out questionnaires each year for at least 10 years and provide samples of blood, hair, and stool at three points in time: shortly after diagnosis, and then again after two and five years. While participants may not see direct benefits from their involvement, their contributions will help researchers gain valuable insights that can lead to better care for future young cancer patients.
