First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 32 childhood cancer survivors who had pelvic radiation at least one year earlier. Researchers measured bladder function and bone density to understand long-term side effects. The goal was to gather knowledge, not to test a new treatment.

Who is studied
Cohort 1: Childhood cancer survivors who were treated with chemotherapy and radiation therapy to the pelvis, with or without surgical intervention. This group will consist of both primary pelvic sarcomas as well as patients who received whole abdominal radiation that included bladder exposure. Cohort 2: Childhood cancer survivors who have been treated for a sarcoma who did not receive pelvic radiation, and were treated with chemotherapy, with or without surgical intervention or radiation therapy (outside of the pelvis). These patients will be matched as closely as possible to Group 1 to match chemotherapy regimens, and sex.
