We advocate a comprehensive strategy to (1) use existing biospecimens, especially those collected longitudinally, with correlation to exposures (the exposome); (2) standardize microbiome specimen collection and analyses of blood, tissue, and stool specimens to minimize contamination and biases; (3) prioritize mechanistic studies to evaluate findings from biomarker studies; and (4) explore the unique survivorship needs of this young population. These recommendations build upon prior efforts with the goal of streamlining research into this important field of study while minimizing redundant efforts.
