Summary

This study looks at how childhood cancer and its treatment affect weight and height from birth into adulthood. Researchers will track body mass index and growth in over 12,000 patients and survivors across Europe. They aim to identify factors that lead to being underweight, overweight, or having stunted growth. The goal is to better understand and potentially improve nutritional care for these patients.

What this could mean

What could go wrong: This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. The findings may vary across countries and may not apply to all patients.
