CHILDHOOD CANCER SURVIVOR STUDY

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

ABSTRACT The Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) is a multi-institutional, multi-disciplinary collaborative research resource established to systematically evaluate long-term outcomes among children diagnosed with cancer who survived five or more years from diagnosis. With the successful recruitment and longitudinal follow-up of the cohort that includes survivors diagnosed and treated over three decades (1970-1999), the CCSS is the world’s largest established open resource for survivorship research with 38,036 eligible survivors available for investigation of late mortality, and 25,665 participants who have contributed health-related and quality of life outcomes. The resource includes comprehensive annotation of treatment exposures, ongoing longitudinal follow-up and an established biorepository from which genotype (SNP array) and DNA sequencing of 8,380 survivors are available to investigators for identification of genetic susceptibility for disease- and treatment- related late effects. The current supplement application will expand the resource to provide methylation profiling data for more than 2,800 participants.
