Summary

This study tests whether a simple questionnaire, filled out by children and teens with cancer (and their caregivers) before and after a clinic visit, can help doctors better understand their symptoms. About 85 participants will use the tool during routine visits. The goal is to see if it's practical, easy to use, and acceptable to patients, families, and doctors.
