Biomarkers of Resiliency In Childhood Cancer Surgery
This observational study wants to understand how children and their families recover after surgery for cancer. Researchers will look at information from smartwatches worn by patients and their caregivers, answers to questionnaires, and extra blood samples. The study aims to see if these methods can measure how well patients are recovering and if there are specific patterns in their blood that are linked to stress after surgery. You may be able to join if you are 3-25 years old and have certain solid tumors, or if you are the guardian of such a patient. The study hopes to understand recovery at one year after surgery.
- Study design
- This is an observational study with a planned enrollment of 40 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
- What's involved
- You would wear a smartwatch for one year, complete questionnaires at several time points, and allow extra blood to be drawn during your regular care. Clinical data will also be collected.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for one year after surgery to measure surgical resilience.

What this trial measures
- Surgical resilience1 year
Using smartwatches, we will assess motor activity by minutes spent being sedentary, active, or highly active, heart rate, and sleep duration and stages. This information will be collected before and after surgical resection. Data from the smartwatches syncs with Garmin connect using Fitabase which allows the study team to monitor and analyze the data. Results will be correlated with questionnaires responses, to see if there are digital biomarker patterns associated with return to baseline quality of life postoperatively.
