Understanding Social and Genetic Factors in Young Cancer Survivors

This study is looking at how social support, personal strengths, and genetic factors affect the health and quality of life of young adults who have finished treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Researchers will ask you questions about your life, relationships, and wellbeing, and collect blood samples over two years to understand which survivors do better after treatment and why.

Young cancer survivors sometimes have very different outcomes even when they receive the same treatment. This study aims to understand why—by looking at the role of family support, community, personal resilience, and how our genes respond to stress. The hope is that by identifying these factors, doctors can better support survivors and reduce unfair health differences.
