This study will examine self-reported neurocognitive functioning in pediatric cancer survivors whose cancer therapy may have included cranial radiation, intrathecal chemotherapy, and high-dose intravenous antimetabolite chemotherapy. There is evidence that these therapies which are directed at the central nervous system (CNS) can lead to reduced volumes of normal-appearing white matter and neurocognitive dysfunction.
Neurocognitive deficits can significantly impact pediatric cancer survivors' academic success, daily functional status, and quality of life. Previous studies demonstrate the need for screening and treating neurocognitive dysfunction in childhood cancer patients and survivors.
This pilot study will conduct cognitive debriefing tests with childhood cancer survivors, 30 with and 10 without neurocognitive deficits, and their parents. The collected data will aid in developing a comprehensive patient-reported outcomes (PRO) toolkit consisting of generic and specific cognitive and behavioral domains that are content-appropriate and interface-friendly for pediatric cancer populations.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
Pediatric participants will undergo a 30-45 minute cognitive interview including three sections:
For patient participants who have not had IQ testing within the prior 3 years, IQ testing may be repeated.
Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with parents/legal guardians of pediatric participants including:
Interviews will be conducted primarily on the St. Jude campus, or via Skype video meeting as a secondary option.
