NCT ID NCT02276430

Summary

Researchers are observing 939 survivors to identify the specific risk factors, such as past chemotherapy or lifestyle factors, that contribute to this increased risk. The goal is to gather knowledge that can help develop better long-term health monitoring and preventive care for survivors.
