On Friday 11 April at 14:00, Sonja Izquierdo Riis Meyer defends her PhD dissertation entitled "Late Pulmonary Adverse Effects in Childhood and Adolescent Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia Survivors - The ALL-STAR Lungs Study".
Advancements in the treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) - the most common childhood cancer - have led to survival rates now exceeding 90% in developed countries. However, the increasing population of long-term survivors has also brought attention to potential late effects, including late pulmonary adverse effects, with potential impact on physical functioning and quality of life. A PhD project from Aarhus University, Health, and Aarhus University Hospital aimed to explore late pulmonary adverse effects in childhood ALL survivors. The studies included in the PhD project examine pulmonary symptoms and pulmonary function, assess pulmonary function deficit and associated predictors as well as evaluate physical functioning and the association with pulmonary function deficit within a national childhood ALL survivor cohort.
The summary is written by the PhD student.
The defence is public and takes place in auditorium B (G206-142), Entrance G, G206, Aarhus University Hospital. Please see the press release for more information.
