Childhood Cancer Survivor Study

The Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) is a long-term research project that focuses on children who have survived cancer. It aims to understand the effects of cancer and its treatment on survivors' physical and mental health as they grow older. By collecting data from thousands of survivors, the study helps identify potential late effects of cancer treatments, guiding healthcare providers in offering better follow-up care. Ultimately, the CCSS seeks to improve the quality of life for childhood cancer survivors and inform healthcare policies regarding their ongoing needs.
