Hidden scars of childhood cancer: new imaging reveals heart and lung damage years after treatment
NCT ID NCT07705178
First seen Jul 15, 2026 · Last updated Jul 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates the long-term heart and lung health of adults who survived childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or lymphoma. Researchers use advanced MRI and other imaging to detect subtle damage from past chemotherapy, comparing survivors to healthy volunteers. The goal is to better understand late effects and improve follow-up care.
