NCT ID NCT07212166
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 05, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study is testing a new questionnaire called PRO-AYA, designed to measure quality of life in adolescents and young adults (ages 15-39) with cancer. Researchers want to see if the survey is reliable and accurate, including a Spanish version. 120 participants will fill out the survey and some will repeat it to check consistency. The goal is to create a better tool for understanding what matters most to young people during and after cancer treatment.
