Abstract
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 worldâs 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 objective of the current supplement application is to pilot an extraction tool to capture cancer treatment information for survivors of childhood cancer. Results will inform a future expansion of the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study. All data from this supplement will be submitted to the Childhood Cancer Data Initiative (CCDI) Ecosystem.
