Work Package 3: Long term cancer incidence and its determinants in individual treated with GH in childhood


SAGhE is organized around four specific work packages (WP), to address the objectives of the study and is supported by a management work package . These work packages concur to provide the expected milestones and deliverables in a smooth and effective fashion. All participants are involved in all work packages under the supervision of a work package leader.

Objectives
  • To determine if cancer incidence is increased in a population based sample of adult individuals treated with growth hormone in childhood.
  • To analyze the associated factors to discriminate those associated with background condition vs the possible effect of growth hormone treatment itself.
