Measuring Changes in Body Composition and Physical Function in Patients With Childhood Cancers

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Cancer, Malignant Neoplasm

In brief

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of obtaining repeated measurements of lean muscle mass, physical function, and biological aging in children receiving active cancer therapy. The secondary objective is to evaluate the feasibility of using the D3-creatine dilution method (D3Cr) to measure skeletal muscle mass in children with cancer. Assessments will be collected at diagnosis, once during active treatment, and end of treatment in coordination with routine imaging to monitor changes in study outcomes during active cancer treatment. Key sociodemographic, treatment and health-related factors will be abstracted from the medical record.
