| Purpose: |
|
RATIONALE: Developing a way to track patients enrolled in Children's Oncology Group studies
will help doctors gather long-term follow-up information and may help the study of cancer in
the future.
PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying long-term follow-up in patients who are or have
participated in Children's Oncology Group studies.

| Study Summary: |
|
OBJECTIVES:
- To develop a mechanism for tracking and retaining patients enrolled on COG protocols.
- To maintain regular, lifetime contact with patients in order to obtain current
identification and contact information, and self/parent-reported health status.
- To locate patients who are lost-to-follow-up for COG (or Legacy Group) protocols
targeted for follow-up by the Long-Term Follow-Up Center (LTFC).
- To provide current patient contact information and self/parent-reported health status
updates to the COG Statistics and Data Center (SDC) and to each patient's COG
institution.
- To facilitate collection of protocol-specific outcome data through collaboration with
the COG Late Effects Committee, the SDC, and the member institutions.
- To collect cumulative therapeutic exposure data (via therapeutic summaries completed
online by treating institutions) on patients completing active therapy.
OUTLINE: This is an umbrella protocol for all long-term follow-up at COG institutions.
Approximately 6 months after completion of therapy patients receive a mailed packet
introducing the Long-Term Follow-Up Center (LTFC) and containing information related to
their individualized, protocol-specific follow-up guidelines. Patients are asked to complete
a patient response form, verify information provided in packet, update contact information,
and complete a Health Status Update Form. The Health Status Update Form is a brief document
including questions about current health status, disease status, and cancer therapy received
since the last mailing. Patients receive protocol-specific automatic reminders, and may
respond by use of postage prepaid envelopes, email, or 24-hour toll-free telephone.
