Survivors' hidden toll: chest radiation linked to brain changes
NCT ID NCT06421987
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at Hodgkin lymphoma survivors who had chest radiation and bleomycin treatment as children. Researchers want to understand how these treatments affect blood flow to the brain and heart-lung function during exercise. About 100 survivors and healthy volunteers will take part. The goal is to learn more about long-term side effects, not to test a new treatment.
