This study will check muscle mass, physical function, and cancer-related aging in children and young adults (8-21 years old) undergoing cancer treatment. In this study, we want to learn how muscle and physical function (strength, mobility, endurance) change in children and young adults who undergoing cancer treatment and how to measure these changes.
If you decide to take part in this study, your parents or guardians need to give you permission to participate and fill out consent forms. The study involves an initial CT, MRI, or PET of the chest or abdomen. It will also include blood draws during your treatment and physical function assessments.
