Summary

This research study is evaluating bone mineral density in childhood cancer survivors who have a history of bone fracture.

Detailed description

The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the status of bones in children and young-adults who have had bone fractures after treatment for childhood cancer. Bone complications including fracture can be important issues for some childhood cancer survivors. In this study we are measuring bone mineral density in children and young adults who have had bone fracture after treatment for childhood cancer. We will measure bone mineral density in two ways. We will use: 1) dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (also known as DXA), and 2) peripheral quantitative computed tomography (also known as pQCT).

Conditions

• Bone Mineral Density
• Childhood Cancer Survivors

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA)	Subjects will undergo DXA scan to assess total body (less head) and lumbar spine bone mineral density.
OTHER	Peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT)	Subjects will undergo pQCT assessment of radius and tibia.
