Impact of Platinum Related Hearing Loss on Quality of Life and Educational Attainment in Germ Cell Tumor Survivors
Project Description:
The GCT Outcomes and Late effects Data (GOLD) study is a new cohort study of GCT survivors. The goal of the GOLD study is to learn more about how treatment for a GCT during childhood and adolescence impacts health and quality of life. We are currently recruiting participants to the cohort and collecting data including questionnaires, medical records, hearing assessments, biospecimens and tumor samples. Initial scientific aims of the study will focus on common adverse effects of treatment in GCT survivors, including hearing loss, neuropathy and quality of life.
