RECRUITING

Molecular Biology of Polycythemia and Thrombocytosis

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Our study is designed to characterize the clinical picture and genetic pattern of Polycythemia and Thrombocytosis. The purpose of this project is to find a gene and its mutation that causes these disorders. When this is accomplished, new therapies to control and eventually cure the disorder can be designed.
