Sean Phipps Ph.D.
Funded: 07-01-2012

Funding Type: Supportive Care Research Grant
Institution Location:
Memphis, TN
Institution: St. Jude Children's Research Hospital
Dr. Phipps is studying what happens to children who were treated with bone marrow transplant for cancer many years ago. This is a very challenging treatment that can cause problems for survivors in a number of areas, including their thinking and learning ability, their physical health, and their ability to have children. He is learning how these children and young adults are faring relative to their healthy peers, to identify factors that lead to better or poorer outcomes so that researchers can develop treatments to prevent any negative effects.

The concept of resilience implies an ability to withstand stress after a significant crisis. While there are several theories of resilience, there is little consensus about how to define it or, more importantly, how to promote it. Cancer in children and adolescents can pose daunting challenges for patients as well as their families. This study explores a novel model of resilience among adolescents and parents of children with cancer. Promoting resilience during and after childhood cancer will promote more positive psychosocial outcomes and ultimately enable better family-level survivorship.

Children with advanced cancer experience significant suffering. To improve their comfort, Dr. Wolfe aims to understand how distressing symptoms are evaluated and treated, and also to identify attitudes and behaviors in clinicians and families that may interfere with optimal symptom control. To do so, this project is carefully following what happens when a child reports high distress from pain and other common symptoms during clinic visits, as well as interview providers and families, and review charts. The results will help researchers improve symptom control and will be used to design the PediQUEST Champions intervention aimed at easing suffering in children with cancer. This research is funded by P.A.L.S. Bermuda with funds raised through the St. Baldrick's Foundation.
Robert Noll Ph.D.

Having friends is vitally important for all children. Children surviving brain tumors often have physical problems (jerky movements, slurred speech, etc.) and cognitive delays caused by their disease or treatment. These cancer survivors are frequently described by peers as "not well liked," "having few friends" and "isolated". This puts them at risk for being bullied, dropping out of school, becoming anxious or depressed, and being less likely to marry or have good jobs as adults. Dr. Noll is conducting a research-backed, school-based project to support brain tumor survivors' social involvement by training classmates to be more inclusive of others viewed as "different."

Even though more and more children are being cured of cancer, the treatment can cause major life-long health problems for survivors. Unfortunately, most adult survivors don't seek appropriate medical care to monitor and care for these problems. This project is to study whether or not adult survivors referred to adult-focused follow-up care actually engage in such care and what might get in the way of doing so. The results of the study will help medical providers better prepare young adult survivors to engage in adult-focused follow-up care to assure that they stay as healthy as possible.

Cancer therapy for childhood leukemia is often successful, but not without side effects. Pancreatitis, characterized by severe abdominal pain and inability to digest food, is a severe side effect seen in some children but not others who are similarly treated for leukemia. This side effect is sometimes fatal, and very often causes significant delays in continuing with treatment. This research is to learn the reasons why some children are more likely to develop this side effect than others, with the goal of helping all patients avoid it.

About 80% of children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer become long-term survivors. About half of them develop therapy-induced hearing loss that is cumulative and irreversible. Most at risk are patients with brain tumors, neuroblastomas, osteosarcomas, soft tissue sarcomas, retinoblastomas, hepatoblastomas, or germ cell tumors who need to be treated with cisplatin, combinations of cisplatin and carboplatin, radiation to the head and neck, or combinations of platins and radiation. Therapy-induced hearing loss adversely affects speech and language development, reading ability, communication, academic performance and psychosocial development. It frequently causes stress, social isolation, low self-esteem, and low overall quality of life. This project explores the use of moderate to high doses of dietary selenium as means to reduce or prevent cisplatin-induced hearing loss.

Although most children with leukemia can be cured, chemotherapy frequently causes permanent brain dysfunction in survivors. With previous support from St. Baldricks, Dr. Cole's lab identified promising protective interventions, and he will now test them among those children at greatest risk for brain damage. To identify this population researchers are studying whether variation in neurocognitive function among leukemia survivors is related to specific inherited differences in genes related to repair mechanisms or to metabolism of drugs thought to cause cognitive deficits.
