Conditions

Summary

SURVIVORS Study participants are being asked to take part in this research study called HODNIRS because the participant is a survivor of Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) treated with chest radiation and bleomycin at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. The study is being done to help investigators understand the link between long term effects of chest radiation and bleomycin for HL and brain function in survivors. Primary Objective To evaluate dynamic changes in CBF and oxygenation during exercise with Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) in HL survivors and non-cancer controls matched for age, sex, race, and ethnicity. . Secondary Objectives To examine the degree of CO2 clearance (DLCO/ETCO2) during rest and exercise in Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) survivors compared to non-cancer controls matched for age, sex, race, and ethnicity. CONTROLS Volunteers are being asked to take part in this research study because they are non-first degree relative or friend of someone who received treatment for a childhood cancer or similar illness at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or are an employee/affiliate of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and have agreed to be a St. Jude Life Cohort Study (SJLIFE) community control.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is measuring heart and lung function, and blood flow to the brain, in people who survived Hodgkin lymphoma (a type of blood cancer) as children or young adults. Treatments like bleomycin chemotherapy and chest radiation can affect these systems long-term, and researchers want to understand the impact. **You may be eligible if...** - You were treated for Hodgkin lymphoma at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as a child (under 21 at diagnosis) - You are now 18 or older and at least 2 years past completing treatment - You received bleomycin or thoracic (chest) radiation as part of your treatment - You are enrolled or eligible for the SJLIFE follow-up program **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You received cranial (head) or total-body radiation during treatment - You received certain types of high-dose chemotherapy directly to the brain - You have a history of head injury or a genetic condition linked to cognitive impairment Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
