NCT ID: NCT02675166 Completed - Pediatric Cancer Clinical Trials

Getting Long-term Management of Adult Children Cured of Childhood Cancer in Rhône-Alpes

SALTO-2
Start date: October 23, 2015
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Children cancers are rare and survival rate are around 75%. 1 French adult out of 850 is estimated as a children-cancer-survivor. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgical complications can lead to a late risk of death. A regularly support, a therapeutic education, a support of the psychological difficulties have a positive impact on the quality of life and on long-term health for patients surviving to a cancer. The ARCERRA exists, registering around 150 new cases a year. They coordinated, from 2011 to 2014, a multicentric study with a long term follow up in oncology (SALTO). 150 patients diagnosed between 1987 and 1992 were included, and the study demonstrated the feasibility and utility for patients and their physicians of a long-term follow-up coupled with an interview with a psychologist in Rhône-Alpes-Auvergne. The primary objective of SALTO-2 project is to know the becoming of young adults that survived to pediatric cancer, diagnosed in Rhône-Alpes between 1993 and 1999. The second objective is in one hand to study the psychological becoming and on another hand, to ameliorate their lifestyle thanks to different documents created specially for them.

NCT ID: NCT02565771 Completed - Cancer Clinical Trials

Evaluation of the Improvement of Autonomic Nervous System by a Physical Rehabilitation Program Adapted to Adulthood After Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy in Childhood

SALTO_GyV
Start date: March 2013
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Survival rate of childhood cancers is now reaching 80%. However, early or late complications related to surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy remain high and greatly increase the risk of late mortality. Health of individuals is closely correlated to the stability of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), a key system for maintaining homeostasis in any living species. Efficient computer tools allowed the opportunity to assess the intrinsic autonomic regulation of the ANS either directly or at a later time by an analysis of the heart rate variability (HRV). These tools have become very powerful predictors of cardiovascular morbidity and neurological aging. Physical endurance training improves both maximal aerobic capacity and ANS activity.

NCT ID: NCT01574196 Completed - Cancer Clinical Trials

Assessment of Cardiac Autonomic Function in Adulthood After Chemotherapy or Radiotherapy in Childhood

SALTO-SNA
Start date: September 2012
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The SALTO-SNA study is an ancillary study of the SALTO study (Suivi À Long Terme en Oncologie des enfants guéris d'un cancer pédiatrique en régions Rhône-Alpes et Auvergne) coordinated by Dr. Claire Berger, pediatric oncologist at the CHU, Saint Etienne. It aims at re-examining, in their initial treatment center, all patients (a cohort of 495 patients alive in 2011), diagnosed between 1987 and 1992, and cured of childhood cancer (except leukemia) in the Rhône-Alpes and Auvergne regions. The rationale for this study is based on the observation that although the survival rate of childhood cancers has now reached 75%, complications of chemotherapy and radiotherapy are high and greatly increase the risk of mortality in later years (estimated to be 14% in the literature). The morbidity risk of chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be quantified by assessing the activity of the intrinsic cardiac autonomic regulation, which represents a powerful predictor of cardiovascular morbidity to the individual.

NCT ID: NCT01531478 Completed - Cancer Clinical Trials

Long-term Follow-up of Childhood Cancer Survivors in the Rhône-Alpes and Auvergne Regions of France

SALTO
Start date: May 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Childhood cancers are rare, and today 75% of patients survive them. An estimated one out of 850 French persons has survived childhood cancer. However, the complications of chemotherapy, radiotherapy or surgery can lead to a higher risk of secondary mortality, which the literature estimates is at 14%. Regular care has a positive impact on the quality of life and health of adults who survived cancer during their childhoods. It aims to detect the potential long-lasting effects of cancer and to provide therapeutic education and psychological care. Thanks to cancer registries, several countries (USA, Canada, UK, Germany, the Netherlands) have developed long-term care structures which function with specially trained adult medicine practitioners. There are only two structures in France: the Long-Term Oncology/Hematology Follow-Up Clinic, headed by Dr François Pein, in Nantes (France), and the LEA program for the follow-up of children treated for leukemia in the PACA-Corse and Lorraine regions of France, which began in 2003 and has since been extended to other centers. The Rhône-Alpes and Auvergne regions have had childhood cancer registries since 1987; they compile about 200 new cases a year. The Rhône-Alpes registry has conducted a preliminary trial on children (0-15 years old) diagnosed with cancer between 1987 and 1992. They analyzed the correlation between patients' quality of life and the long-term medical effect of cancer and treatment, both recorded in patients' medical files and declared by patients. These young adults who survived pediatric cancer appear to suffer from and declare many complications, although this does not impact their global quality of life much. There is a negative correlation between the number of complications (observed or declared) and the global quality of life score, but only three types of complications play a significant role (motor function complications, auditory complications, and alopecia.) In addition, there is a significant mismatch between patients's perceived health (what they say they experience), and the information contained in their medical files. These young adults expressed the need for their impressions to be better taken into account by health care professionals. This study does not assess patients' psychopathological characteristics.
