Education and longer-term health outcomes for childhood cancer survivors
The study will create a longitudinal, population-level database of hospital and education records. We aim to quantify the difference in academic attainment and school support (including Special Educational Needs) up to age 16, and hospitalisations and mortality into adulthood, between childhood cancer survivors and healthy peers.
The study is being led by Dr Selina Nath and Professor Katie Harron (UCL) and is funded by CRUK and Children with Cancer UK. The study started in 2024 and aims to finish in 2027.
