Exploring the Potential Role of the Gut Microbiome in Chemotherapy-Induced Neurocognitive Disorders and Cardiovascular Toxicity. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13040782. [PMID: 33668518 PMCID: PMC7918783 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13040782] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2020] [Revised: 02/09/2021] [Accepted: 02/10/2021] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary While lifesaving achievements have allowed cancer to be cured in many patients, survivors cured of cancer may suffer from long-term adverse treatment sequelae, substantially altering their quality of life and reintegration into normal life. Increasing evidence suggests the emerging role of the microbiome in chemotherapy-induced late effects affecting cognitive functions and the cardiovascular system. Moreover, existing data from animal models and patients with neurocognitive disorders and cardiovascular diseases outline the possibility that microbiota modulation might potentially prevent or mitigate the psycho-physiological deficits following chemotherapy and help to improve the behavioral comorbidities, cognitive functions, and quality of life in cancer survivors. Abstract Chemotherapy, targeting not only malignant but also healthy cells, causes many undesirable side effects in cancer patients. Due to this fact, long-term cancer survivors often suffer from late effects, including cognitive impairment and cardiovascular toxicity. Chemotherapy damages the intestinal mucosa and heavily disrupts the gut ecosystem, leading to gastrointestinal toxicity. Animal models and clinical studies have revealed the associations between intestinal dysbiosis and depression, anxiety, pain, impaired cognitive functions, and cardiovascular diseases. Recently, a possible link between chemotherapy-induced gut microbiota disruption and late effects in cancer survivors has been proposed. In this review, we summarize the current understanding of preclinical and clinical findings regarding the emerging role of the microbiome and the microbiota–gut–brain axis in chemotherapy-related late effects affecting the central nervous system (CNS) and heart functions. Importantly, we provide an overview of clinical trials evaluating the relationship between the gut microbiome and cancer survivorship. Moreover, the beneficial effects of probiotics in experimental models and non-cancer patients with neurocognitive disorders and cardiovascular diseases as well as several studies on microbiota modulations via probiotics or fecal microbiota transplantation in cancer patients are discussed.

Impact of cGVHD on socioeconomic outcomes in survivors with pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant in Japan: a cross-sectional observational study. Int J Hematol 2021; 113:566-575.

Abstract
We conducted a cross-sectional observational study investigating socioeconomic status among Japanese survivors of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) and the impact of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) on socioeconomic outcomes, which are topics not well explored in the previous research. We collected data on socioeconomic outcomes from 442 HCT survivors through a questionnaire and obtained demographic and clinical information from their attending physicians and a national database between February 2013 and November 2014. We used logistic regression analysis to examine the relationship between cGVHD and socioeconomic outcomes in allogeneic HCT (allo-HCT) survivors. Most survivors did not experience socioeconomic problems. Nevertheless, allo-HCT survivors with cGVHD aged 8-15 years had poorer economic status (p = 0.013), and allo-HCT survivors with cGVHD aged ≥ 16 years were more likely to have never married (p = 0.034) and less likely to have more than a high school education (p = 0.023), compared with allo-HCT survivors without cGVHD. Thus, cGVHD in Japanese allo-HCT survivors was a risk factor for economic difficulties for those aged 8-15 years, and for never marrying and low educational achievement in those aged ≥ 16 years.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to remarkable progress in cancer treatment, endocrine complications are now the major medical issues facing childhood cancer survivors. Although non-central nervous system solid tumors (NCSTs) account for approximately 40% of all pediatric cancers, there have been few studies on endocrine complications associated with NCSTs. This study investigated endocrinopathies following the treatment of pediatric NCSTs. DESIGN AND SETTING Retrospective study in a single academic center. METHODS This study analyzed 253 survivors of childhood NCSTs who were diagnosed between January of 2000 and December of 2018. The medical charts were reviewed regarding the frequency of endocrinopathies and treatment modalities. The hazard ratios were assessed by multivariable Cox regression analysis. The final height-SDS were analyzed by multivariable linear regression analysis. RESULTS There were 76 patients (30%) that developed at least one endocrine complication. Forty-four patients (17.4%) experienced endocrine complications within five years of their cancer diagnosis. The most common endocrine complication was growth failure (n = 35), followed by obesity (n = 18), and primary gonadal failure (n = 16). High cumulative doses of alkylating agents increased the risk of developing at least one endocrine complication. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was an important risk factor for primary gonadal failure. CONCLUSIONS This study described the comprehensive endocrine outcomes, including growth failure, obesity, primary gonadal failure, primary hypothyroidism, dyslipidemia, and osteoporosis, following the treatment of childhood NCSTs. As endocrinopathies occurred within five years of primary tumor diagnosis, surveillance for endocrine dysfunction is required for early intervention and management.

Abstract
Haematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) can be a curative treatment for children and adolescents with very-high-risk acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). Improvements in supportive care and transplant techniques have led to increasing numbers of long-term survivors worldwide. However, conditioning regimens as well as transplant-related complications are associated with severe sequelae, impacting patients' quality of life. It is widely recognised that paediatric HSCT survivors must have timely access to life-long care and surveillance in order to prevent, ameliorate and manage all possible adverse late effects of HSCT. This is fundamentally important because it can both prevent ill health and optimise the quality and experience of survival following HSCT. Furthermore, it reduces the impact of preventable chronic illness on already under-resourced health services. In addition to late effects, survivors of paediatric ALL also have to deal with unique challenges associated with transition to adult services. In this review, we: (1) provide an overview of the potential late effects following HSCT for ALL in childhood and adolescence; (2) focus on the unique challenges of transition from paediatric care to adult services; and (3) provide a framework for long-term surveillance and medical care for survivors of paediatric ALL who have undergone HSCT.

Abstract
Childhood cancer survivors treated with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation are at high risk for pulmonary morbidity and mortality. In this retrospective study we described transplant characteristics of pediatric patients who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in Switzerland and how these characteristics changed over time, compared self-reported pulmonary outcomes between transplanted and non-transplanted survivors, and investigated risk factors for the reported pulmonary outcomes. As part of the population-based Swiss Childhood Cancer Survivor Study, we sent questionnaires to all ≥5-year childhood cancer survivors diagnosed 1976–2010 at age ≤20 years. We included 132 transplanted survivors and 368 matched non-transplanted survivors. During the study period transplant characteristics changed, with decreasing use of total body irradiation and increased use of peripheral blood stem cells and mismatched and unrelated donors as transplant source. One-fifth of transplanted survivors (20%, 95%CI 13–27%) and 18% of non-transplanted survivors (95%CI 13–21%) reported at least one pulmonary outcome. None of the analyzed factors was significantly associated with an increased risk of pulmonary outcomes in multivariable analysis. We found that pulmonary outcomes were frequently reported in transplanted and non-transplanted childhood cancer survivors, indicating a strong need for long-term pulmonary follow-up care.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-associated cardiotoxicity may delay or impair the ability to administer fully myeloablative chemotherapy for stem cell transplant in those with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction. Studies in adults have been inconsistent regarding the value of ejection fraction in predicting cardiotoxicity in the posttransplant period. Recent publications, however, have demonstrated successful stem cell transplantation in adults despite low ejection fractions. This case series highlights 2 pediatric patients who were successfully treated with stem cell transplantation without posttransplant cardiac complications, despite pretransplant ejection fractions of 38% and 29%.

Abstract
Improvements in cancer treatment have led to prolonged survival and increased rates of cure. An estimated 14 million cancer survivors live in the United States. The cornerstones of cancer treatment, including radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery, give rise to a host of chronic health conditions, some of which affect the musculoskeletal system. As survivorship continues to improve, orthopaedic surgeons across all subspecialties will be tasked with managing these complications of treatment. This article reviews orthopaedic health concerns secondary to cancer treatment that are likely to present to orthopaedic surgeons for evaluation, such as osteoporosis, osteonecrosis, secondary malignancies, radiation-associated fractures, exercise tolerance, and perioperative evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adverse effects from childhood leukemia treatment may persist or present years after cure from cancer. We provide a comprehensive evaluation of subsequent hospitalization in five-year survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukemia (AML), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). METHODS In the Adult Life after Childhood Cancer in Scandinavia Study, we identified 4003 five-year survivors diagnosed with childhood leukemia 1970-2008 in Denmark, Sweden, Iceland, and Finland. Survivors and 129 828 population comparisons were followed for first-time nonpsychiatric hospitalizations for 120 disease categories in the hospital registries. Standardized hospitalization rate ratios and absolute excess rates were calculated. All statistical tests were two-sided. RESULTS Survivors of ALL (n = 3391), AML (n = 389), and CML (n = 92) had an increased overall hospitalization rate compared with population comparisons. The rate ratio for any hospitalization was 1.95 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.83 to 2.07) in ALL, 3.09 (95% CI = 2.53 to 3.65) in AML, and 4.51 (95% CI = 3.03 to 6.00) in CML survivors and remained increased even 20 years from leukemia diagnosis. Corresponding absolute excess rates per 1000 person-years were 28.48 (95% CI = 24.96 to 32.00), 62.75 (95% CI = 46.00 to 79.50), and 105.31 (95% CI = 60.90 to 149.72). CONCLUSION Leukemia survivors have an increased rate of hospitalization for medical conditions. We provide novel insight into the relative and absolute rate of hospitalization for 120 disease categories in survivors of ALL, AML, and CML, which are likely to be informative for both survivors and healthcare providers.

Abstract
With the number of long-term HSCT survivors steadily increasing, attention needs to be focused on the late complications and quality of life. We therefore analyzed the outcome of 101 pediatric patients (<18 years old at the time of HSCT) transplanted for acute leukemia between 1981 and 2015 at Complexo Hospital de Clínicas, Federal University of Paraná, Brazil, and who survived at least two years after HSCT. The median follow-up was 5.9 years (2.0-29.0); median age at follow-up was 17.5 years (2.98-39.0). The 5-year cumulative incidence of relapse was 27.5% (95% CI 18.6%-36.4%). Two-year cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD was 21.8% (95% CI 13.7%-29.8%). Of the 101 patients, 72 patients (71.3%) presented with late effects. Those surviving longer after HSCT experienced more complications. Patients who received TBI-based regimen developed more late effects (P = .013) and more endocrinological complications (P = .024). Endocrinological complications were the most common late sequelae found in this study. For childhood survivors, quality of life was not influenced by age (at HSCT or at last visit), time from HSCT, gender, donor, or GVHD. For survivors that no longer were children, only age at last visit impacted financial domain measures, irrespective of gender, donor, or GVHD. The current study confirms the high burden late complications after pediatric HSCT have on the survivors and underlines the importance of extended follow-up.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is used in children to treat a variety of malignant and nonmalignant hematologic conditions and certain inborn errors of metabolism. Survivors of HSCT are markedly affected by disease and treatment toxicity. Endocrine complications are among the most commonly reported chronic health conditions in this population. In this review, we summarize the most common endocrine late effects after pediatric HSCT. We also highlight the importance of systematic and longitudinal evaluations to achieve early diagnoses and treatment for these conditions and improve the long-term health outcomes for patients who received HSCT as children.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many childhood cancer survivors develop treatment-associated late effects emerging years or even decades after the end of treatment. Evidence-based guidelines recommend risk-adapted screening, facilitating early diagnosis and management of these sequelae. Long-term follow-up (LTFU) in specialized late effects clinics is devised to implement screening recommendations in the care of childhood cancer survivors. OBJECTIVES To create a practical LTFU tool for the daily practice. METHODS Current guidelines and screening recommendations concerning LTFU in adult survivors of childhood cancer were reviewed and a comprehensive LTFU approach was developed. RESULTS A risk stratification model assigning patients to three risk groups with different screening recommendations and frequencies is presented based on current LTFU guidelines. Furthermore, a model of LTFU in a clinical multidisciplinary team is proposed. CONCLUSIONS Although late morbidity and mortality in childhood cancer survivors have been attenuated in the last decade by reducing treatment toxicities, a high proportion of long-term survivors already is or will still be affected by treatment-associated chronic health conditions. With the knowledge of late effects and their occurrence as a consequence of specific treatment modalities, practical LTFU recommendations are essential to achieve standardized and structured LTFU care.

There is little data on the long-term respiratory development of children after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). We describe the respiratory assessment 10 years after allo-HSCT of 35 children transplanted between 2000 and 2004. During this period, 90 children were transplanted at our center. Twenty-five children died, thirty were lost to follow-up, and thirty-five came to have a pulmonary investigation. The thirty-five participants answered a questionnaire asking if they had pulmonary symptoms, and pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were performed. The median age of these children 10 years after the transplant was 16 years old. Just over a third of them had pulmonary symptoms. Among them, 5/13 (38%) had bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS). The majority of children (62.8%) did not have respiratory symptoms. PFTs were abnormal in one-third of asymptomatic children, revealing restrictive lung disease that was always mild to moderate (p = 0.02).Conclusion: In the long term, research at the time of the medical examination for the presence of chronic cough, shortness of breath on exertion, or wheezing helps to guide the clinician as to the need for further lung exploration. Similarly, informing patients and their families about these symptoms, which can be underestimated, should allow for more specific management.What is Known:• Pulmonary complications are a major cause of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) morbidity and mortality.• A long time after allogeneic HSCT, pulmonary function tests abnormalities may occur in children, but it is not always related to symptoms.What is New:• The occurrence of respiratory symptoms: cough, dyspnea on exertion, chronic bronchitis, and wheezing should be systematically investigated in the follow-up of allografted patients, even at a distance.• The presence of respiratory symptoms should lead to a respiratory functional investigation to detect the presence of an obstructive syndrome.

Abstract
The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is increasing for a variety of diseases. Ototoxicity from this procedure has not been extensively studied. A retrospective chart review examined 275 patients from this institution who underwent HSCT between January 1, 2007, and April 30, 2017. Data extracted included therapy before HSCT and the subsequent course of transplantation. Evaluable patients had complete medical records and interpretable audiograms available. Ototoxicity constituted significant threshold changes from baseline or changes in International Society of Pediatric Oncology/Boston Ototoxicity Grading Scale (SIOP) grade comparing audiogram results just before HSCT with those following the transplantation procedure. A total of 147 patients were evaluable. Ototoxicity was observed in 10.2% of the patients. Higher SIOP grade before HSCT was significantly associated with a higher risk of post-transplantation ototoxicity (P < .01). Previous cisplatin treatment (P < .0001), but not carboplatin or radiation treatment, was also associated with ototoxicity. Patients with a solid tumor or brain tumor (P < .0001) and those who received an autologous transplant (P = .0002) were also at increased risk. No post-transplantation event was significantly associated with ototoxicity. Ototoxicity affects a significant percentage of patients undergoing HSCT, and careful monitoring is needed to identify patients impacted by this procedure.

Abstract
Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for chronic health conditions related to their cancer or their therapy. Of these chronic sequelae, endocrinopathies are some of the most common complications and may include thyroid disorders, reproductive and pituitary dysfunction, and metabolic syndrome. It is important for the primary care physician and endocrinologist to be aware of these possible consequences, as many of them develop months or years after the initial cancer diagnosis and therapy. They may affect adolescents and young adults during a vulnerable time, when they are ideally transitioning into a more independent role in their care and possibly preparing to transfer their health care to new providers. The purpose of this article is to summarize the endocrine complications that may occur following therapy for childhood cancer, and to briefly describe specific considerations in transitioning this population.

Abstract
Background Although colorectal adenomas serve as prime target for colorectal cancer (CRC) surveillance in other high-risk groups, data on adenoma risk after childhood cancer are lacking. We evaluated the risk of histologically confirmed colorectal adenomas among childhood cancer survivors. A secondary aim was to assess CRC risk. Methods The DCOG-LATER cohort study includes five-year Dutch childhood cancer survivors and a sibling comparison group (n = 883). Colorectal tumors were identified from the population-based Dutch Pathology Registry (PALGA). We calculated cumulative incidences of adenomas/CRCs for survivors and siblings. For adenomas, multivariable Cox regression models were used to evaluate potential risk factors. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results Among 5843 five-year survivors (median follow-up = 24.9 years), 78 individuals developed an adenoma. Cumulative incidence by age 45 years was 3.6% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.2% to 5.6%) after abdominopelvic radiotherapy (AP-RT; 49 cases) vs 2.0% (95% CI = 1.3% to 2.8%) among survivors without AP-RT (28 cases; Pdifference = .07) and vs 1.0% (95% CI = 0.3% to 2.6%) among siblings (6 cases) (Pdifference = .03). Factors associated with adenoma risk were AP-RT (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.12, 95% CI = 1.24 to 3.60), total body irradiation (TBI; HR = 10.55, 95% CI = 5.20 to 21.42), cisplatin (HR = 2.13; 95% CI = 0.74 to 6.07 for <480 mg/m²; HR = 3.85, 95% CI = 1.45 to 10.26 for ≥480 mg/m²; Ptrend = .62), a hepatoblastoma diagnosis (HR = 27.12, 95% CI = 8.80 to 83.58), and family history of early-onset CRC (HR = 20.46, 95% CI = 8.10 to 51.70). Procarbazine was statistically significantly associated among survivors without AP-RT/TBI (HR = 2.71, 95% CI = 1.28 to 5.74). Thirteen CRCs occurred. Conclusion We provide evidence for excess risk of colorectal adenomas and CRCs among childhood cancer survivors. Adenoma risk factors include AP-RT, TBI, cisplatin, and procarbazine. Hepatoblastoma (familial adenomatous polyposis-associated) and family history of early-onset CRC were confirmed as strong risk factors. A full benefit-vs-harm evaluation of CRC screening among high-risk childhood cancer survivors warrants consideration.

Abstract
The number of patients surviving ≥5 years after initial cancer diagnosis has significantly increased during the last decades due to considerable improvements in the treatment of many cancer entities. A negative consequence of this is that the emergence of long-term sequelae and endocrine disorders account for a high proportion of these. These late effects can occur decades after cancer treatment and affect up to 50% of childhood cancer survivors. Multiple predisposing factors for endocrine late effects have been identified, including radiation, sex, and age at the time of diagnosis. A systematic literature search has been conducted using the PubMed database to offer a detailed overview of the spectrum of late endocrine disorders following oncological treatment. Most data are based on late effects of treatment in former childhood cancer patients for whom specific guidelines and recommendations already exist, whereas current knowledge concerning late effects in adult-onset cancer survivors is much less clear. Endocrine sequelae of cancer therapy include functional alterations in hypothalamic-pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and gonadal regulation as well as bone and metabolic complications. Surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy all contribute to these sequelae. Following irradiation, endocrine organs such as the thyroid are also at risk for subsequent malignancies. Although diagnosis and management of functional and neoplastic long-term consequences of cancer therapy are comparable to other causes of endocrine disorders, cancer survivors need individually structured follow-up care in specialized surveillance centers to improve care for this rapidly growing group of patients.

Ovarian function after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in children and young adults given 8-Gy total body irradiation-based reduced-toxicity myeloablative conditioning. Pediatr Transplant 2019; 23:e13372. [PMID: 30714283 DOI: 10.1111/petr.13372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2018] [Revised: 12/13/2018] [Accepted: 01/11/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The spectrum of late sequelae after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) includes infertility, which is the most frequent complication. Some reports suggested that ovarian function may be better preserved in females undergoing HSCT with reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) than with conventional myeloablative conditioning (MAC). However, the impact of HSCT after 8-Gy TBI-based reduced-toxicity MAC (RTMAC), whose efficacy is between those of conventional MAC and RIC, on ovarian function remains unclear. PROCEDURE A single-center retrospective analysis of data derived from patient information for all the children who underwent transplantation at the Shinshu University Hospital was carried out. Patients who underwent 8-Gy total body irradiation (TBI)-based RTMAC before HSCT were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 36% (five of 14) of the patients developed primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) during the observation period, but serum follicle-stimulating hormone levels reduced to normal range with spontaneous menstruation in two, implying the reversal of POI. Furthermore, only one (10%) of the 10 prepubertal patients (71%; 10/14) at the time of HSCT suffered from POI at the last observation, but all three post-pubertal patients developed POI (100%), and two (67%) continued to suffer from POI at the last observation. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, 8-Gy TBI-based RTMAC before HSCT may decrease the possibility of POI compared with conventional MAC, especially in prepubertal patients. A longer follow-up will be required to ascertain whether a normal pregnancy and delivery can occur in such patients.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of late morbidity and mortality in hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) survivors. HCT-specific CVD risk prediction models are needed to facilitate early screening and prevention. In the current study, patients who underwent HCT at City of Hope (COH) and survived 1-year free of clinically evident CVD (N = 1828) were observed for the development of heart failure (HF) or coronary artery disease (CAD) by 10-years from index date (1 year from HCT). CVD occurred in 135 individuals (92 HF, 43 CAD). Risk prediction models were developed for overall CVD (HF and/or CAD) using COH-derived integer risk scores. Risk scores based on selected variables (age, anthracycline dose, chest radiation, hypertension, diabetes, smoking) achieved an area under the curve (AUC) and concordance (C) statistic of 0.74 and 0.72 for CVD; these varied from 0.70 to 0.82 according to CVD subtype (HF or CAD). A Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center case cohort (N = 580) was used to validate the COH models. Validation cohort AUCs ranged from 0.66 to 0.75. Risk scores were collapsed to form statistically distinct low-, intermediate-, and high-risk groups, corresponding to 10-year cumulative incidences of CVD of 3.7%, 9.9%, and 26.2%, respectively. Individuals in the high- and intermediate-risk groups were at 7.8-fold (95% confidence interval, 5.0-12.2) and 2.9-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.9-4.6) risk of developing CVD (referent group: low risk). These validated models provide a framework on which to modify current screening recommendations and for the development of targeted interventions to reduce the risk of CVD after HCT.

Abstract
Some chemotherapies that treat childhood cancers have pulmonary-toxic properties that increase risk for adverse respiratory-health outcomes. PM2.5 causes similar outcomes but its effect among pulmonary compromised cancer survivors is unknown. This case-crossover study identified the PM2.5-associated odds for primary-respiratory hospitalizations and emergency department visits among childhood cancer survivors in Utah. We compared risk among chemotherapy-treated survivors to a cancer-free sample. We calculated 3-day-average PM2.5 by ZIP code and county for event and control days. Conditional logistic regression estimated odds ratios. Models were stratified by cause of admission (infection, respiratory disease, asthma), previous chemotherapy, National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), and other variables. Results are presented per 10 µg/m³ of PM2.5. 90% of events occurred at 3-day PM2.5 averages <35.4 µg/m³, the NAAQS 24-h standard. For survivors, PM2.5 was associated with respiratory hospitalizations (OR = 1.84, 95% CI = 1.13⁻3.00) and hospitalizations from respiratory infection (OR = 2.09, 95% CI = 1.06⁻4.14). Among chemotherapy-treated survivors, the PM2.5-associated odds of respiratory hospitalization (OR = 2.03, 95% CI = 1.14⁻3.61) were significantly higher than the cancer-free sample (OR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.57⁻1.25). This is the first study to report significant associations between PM2.5 and respiratory healthcare encounters in childhood cancer survivors. Chemotherapy-treated survivors displayed the highest odds of hospitalization due to PM2.5 exposure and their risk is significantly higher than a cancer-free sample.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Due to advancements in oncologic treatment strategies and techniques, the number of survivors who have undergone hematopoetic stem cell transplant (HCT) continues to increase in the United States; this number is projected to reach 502,000 by the year 2030. There is significant interest within the field of cardio-oncology to identify cardiotoxicity and cardiovascular disease in the HCT population. Epidemiologic studies analyzing both short- and long-term cardiovascular effects, risk stratification modeling, cardioprotective strategies, and expert consensus documents for cardiotoxicity surveillance recommendations are reviewed. RECENT FINDINGS Patients who have undergone HCT are at increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality compared to matched controls. The type of cardiotoxicity and the incidence rates vary based on specific therapeutic regimens and pre-existing cardiovascular risk factors. Life-threatening cardiotoxicity can present during HCT as acute heart failure, arrhythmias, pericardial tamponade, or cardiac arrest; or it can present late after treatment as cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease, vascular disease, stroke, or comorbid conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus that are associated with cardiac events. HCT is associated with excess cardiovascular risk partially due to exposure to cardiotoxic chemotherapy and radiation, as well as indirect and direct detrimental effects on cardiovascular reserve. This review discusses the epidemiology and the known cardiotoxic effects of historical chemoradiation agents in addition to newer targeted therapies. Recent expert consensus statements from cardiology and hematology/oncology societies are reviewed in regard to risk stratification of the cancer patient based on the type of treatments. Finally, gaps in knowledge are identified with proposed avenues of research that will allow for more accurate risk assessment, prediction, and potential treatment of the HCT patient in attenuating the risk of developing both short- and long-term cardiovascular comorbidities.

Abstract
We sought to define the prevalence of echocardiographic abnormalities in long-term survivors of paediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and determine the utility of screening in asymptomatic patients. We analysed echocardiograms performed on survivors who underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from 1982 to 2006. A total of 389 patients were alive in 2017, with 114 having an echocardiogram obtained ⩾5 years post-infusion. A total of 95 patients had echocardiogram performed for routine surveillance. The mean time post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was 13 years. Of 95 patients, 77 (82.1%) had ejection fraction measured, and 10/77 (13.0%) had ejection fraction z-scores ⩽-2.0, which is abnormally low. Those patients with abnormal ejection fraction were significantly more likely to have been exposed to anthracyclines or total body irradiation. Among individuals who received neither anthracyclines nor total body irradiation, only 1/31 (3.2%) was found to have an abnormal ejection fraction of 51.4%, z-score -2.73. In the cohort of 77 patients, the negative predictive value of having a normal ejection fraction given no exposure to total body irradiation or anthracyclines was 96.7% at 95% confidence interval (83.3-99.8%). Systolic dysfunction is relatively common in long-term survivors of paediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation who have received anthracyclines or total body irradiation. Survivors who are asymptomatic and did not receive radiation or anthracyclines likely do not require surveillance echocardiograms, unless otherwise indicated.

Abstract
Progress in overall survival rates for childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) can be largely attributed to effective development and conduct of a number of international treatment studies. Knowledge gained from these studies has shifted the treatment paradigm from a "one-size fits all" strategy to a histologically dependent approach. More specifically, many now adhere to a risk-stratified approach, prescribing cumulative doses and intensities of chemotherapeutic exposures based upon the aggressiveness of disease. Moreover, recognition that high cure rates could be achieved without the use of radiation has eliminated the use of this modality in frontline settings for the majority of newly diagnosed children. These changes have contributed to the emergence of a heterogeneous group of NHL survivors. As the number of NHL survivors continues to increase, providers will encounter a wide spectrum of individuals whose risk for long-term complications are accordingly diverse. The following review summarizes the existing literature surrounding late effects, such as chronic health conditions, functional and neurocognitive performance outcomes, and health-related quality of life, that are unique to NHL survivors, as well as those extrapolated from the broader childhood cancer survivor population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the association between medical and social environmental factors and the risk of repeating a grade in childhood leukemia survivors. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional study of childhood leukemia survivors, recruited through the LEA cohort (Leucémie de l'Enfant et de l'Adolescent [French Childhood Cancer Survivor Study for Leukemia]) in 2014. An adjusted logistic regression model was used to identify variables linked to repeating a grade after the diagnosis among the survivors, and the rates of repeating a grade were compared between the survivors and their siblings using a multilevel logistic regression model. RESULTS The mean age at inclusion of the 855 participants was 16.2 ± 7.0 years, and the mean duration of follow-up from diagnosis to evaluation was 10.2 ± 6.2 years. After disease onset, 244 patients (28.5%) repeated a grade, with a median interval of 4 years (IQR, 2-8 years). Independent factors associated with repeating a grade were male sex (OR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.21-2.60), adolescence (OR, 2.70; 95% CI, 1.63-4.48), educational support during the treatment period (OR, 3.79; 95% CI, 2.45-5.88), low parental education level (OR, 2.493; 95% CI, 1.657-3.750), and household financial difficulties (OR, 2.62; 95% CI, 1.607-4.28). Compared with siblings, survivors were at greater risk of repeating a grade (OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.48-2.35). CONCLUSIONS The most vulnerable patients seemed to be adolescents and those with parents of low socioeconomic status. Improving the schooling career of leukemia survivors will require that the medical community more carefully consider the social status of patients.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantations (HCT) are increasingly being performed in children for the treatment of malignant and nonmalignant diseases. Infections remain an important cause of morbidity and mortality after HCT, where the type and timing of infection is influenced by host, transplant, and pathogen-related factors. Herein, an overview of the epidemiology of infections is presented and organized by timing before and after HCT, understanding that infection may occur at any time point until there is successful immune reconstitution.

Abstract
Objective: Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is an immune phenomenon that occurs in 30 to 70% of patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HST). Chronic GVHD is a state of immune dysregulation wherein, depending on the severity and organ involved, patients may require prolonged treatment with additional or higher corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive agents. The objective of this study was to review the endocrine manifestations following HST that can arise as a consequence of the primary disease or its treatment, including chemotherapeutic agents, corticosteroids, radiation, or GVHD. Methods: We performed a narrative review of GVHD after HST. An English-language search for relevant studies was conducted on PubMed from inception to August 1, 2018, using the following search terms: "endocrine complications," "bone marrow transplantation," "graft-versus-host disease," and "GVHD." The reference lists of relevant studies were also reviewed. Results: Chronic GVHD may be associated with considerable pediatric growth impairment and may also contribute to thyroid gland dysfunction and thyroid cancer. These patients may also be at increased risk for low bone mineral density, reduced fertility, metabolic syndrome, and suppression of the pituitary-adrenal axis with adrenal insufficiency. Conclusion: This review indicates the importance of monitoring, diagnosing, and properly treating the endocrine complications in this population. More studies are needed to investigate the independent impact of GVHD on the endocrine system and treatment for complications. Abbreviations: BMD = bone mineral density; GH = growth hormone; GVHD = graft-versus-host disease; HST = hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; IGF-1 = insulin-like growth factor 1.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease later in life. As HSCT survival has significantly improved, with a growing number of HSCT indications, tailored screening strategies for HSCT-related late effects are warranted. Little is known regarding the value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for early identification of high-risk patients after HSCT, before symptomatic cardiovascular disease manifests. This study aimed to assess CMR-derived left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function, aortic stiffness and myocardial tissue characteristics in young adults who received HSCT during childhood. METHODS Sixteen patients (22.1 ± 1.5 years) treated with HSCT during childhood and 16 healthy controls (22.1 ± 1.8 years) underwent 3 T CMR. LV systolic and diastolic function were measured as LV ejection fraction (LVEF), the ratio of transmitral early and late peak filling rate (E/A), the estimated LV filling pressure (E/Ea) and global longitudinal and circumferential systolic strain and diastolic strain rates, using balanced steady-state free precession cine CMR and 2D velocity-encoded CMR over the mitral valve. Aortic stiffness, myocardial fibrosis and steatosis were assessed with 2D velocity-encoded CMR, native T1 mapping and proton CMR spectroscopy (1H-CMRS), respectively. RESULTS In the patient compared to the control group, E/Ea (9.92 ± 3.42 vs. 7.24 ± 2.29, P = 0.004) was higher, LVEF (54 ± 6% vs. 58 ± 5%, P = 0.055) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) ( -20.7 ± 3.5% vs. -22.9 ± 3.0%, P = 0.063) tended to be lower, while aortic pulse wave velocity (4.40 ± 0.26 vs. 4.29 ± 0.29 m/s, P = 0.29), native T1 (1211 ± 36 vs. 1227 ± 28 ms, P = 0.16) and myocardial triglyceride content (0.47 ± 0.18 vs. 0.50 ± 0.13%, P = 0.202) were comparable. There were no differences between patients and controls in E/A (2.76 ± 0.92 vs. 2.97 ± 0.91, P = 0.60) and diastolic strain rates. CONCLUSION In young adults who received HSCT during childhood, LV diastolic function was decreased (higher estimated LV filling pressure) and LV systolic function (LVEF and GLS) tended to be reduced as compared to healthy controls, whereas no concomitant differences were found in aortic stiffness and myocardial tissue characteristics. When using CMR, assessment of LV diastolic function in particular is important for early detection of patients at risk of HSCT-related cardiovascular disease, which may warrant closer surveillance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) childhood survivors of hematologic malignancies are prone to develop late osteopenia and osteoporosis. The purpose of this retrospective study was to quantitatively and qualitatively assess bone mineral density (BMD) in HSCT childhood survivors and to compare the effectiveness of both qualitative and quantitative assessment methods. METHODS DESIGN BMD assessment using panoramic radiographs of childhood HSCT survivors aged 3.69-18.88 years using two radiomorphometric indexes. Case-control double-blinded comparison of panoramic radiographic images from childhood HSCT survivors and age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Quantitative assessment was performed by measuring the cortical bone width bilaterally at the mental foramen level. Qualitative assessment was performed using the mandibular cortical index bilaterally on all panoramic images. RESULTS Radiographs were taken 6.59-83.95 months after bone marrow transplantation [median±SD=25.92±24.9 months]. Fifty-two panoramic radiographic images were analyzed: 21 from HSCT survivors and 31 from healthy controls aged 3.69-25.1 years [mean±SD=11.89±5.28 years]. The mandibular cortical bone width was 17% smaller in childhood HSCT survivors than in healthy controls (case group: 2.420, control group: 3.307; p=0.00617). Qualitative analysis revealed an increased frequency of severe mandibular cortical erosion in childhood HSCT survivors, although no significant difference was observed (case group: 1.540, control group: 1.490; p=0.32). The interobserver agreement was 85% (Kappa index). CONCLUSIONS HSCT childhood survivors exhibit quantitative and qualitative mandibular bone impairments. Further studies are needed to establish an association between mandibular cortical bone impairment and osteoporosis.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease has been identified as one of the late complications of cancer therapy. The purpose of this study was to quantify the long-term risk of cardiovascular mortality among lymphoma survivors relative to that of the general population. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted. Articles were identified in November 2016 by searching EMBASE, MEDLINE, and CINAHL databases. Observational studies were included if they assessed cardiovascular mortality in patients with lymphoma who survived for at least 5 years from time of diagnosis or if they had a median follow-up of 10 years. A pooled standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was estimated using a DerSimonian and Laird random-effects model. The Q and I2 statistics were used to assess heterogeneity. Funnel plots and Begg's and Egger's tests were used to evaluate publication bias. Of the 7450 articles screened, 27 studies were included in the systematic review representing 46 829 Hodgkin and 14 764 non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivors. The pooled number of deaths attributable to cardiovascular disease among Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin disease was estimated to be 7.31 (95% CI: 5.29-10.10; I2 = 95.4%) and 5.35 (95% CI: 2.55-11.24; I2 = 94.0%) times that of the general population, respectively. This association was greater among Hodgkin lymphoma survivors treated before the age of 21 (pooled SMR = 13.43; 95% CI: 9.22-19.57; I2 = 78.9%). There was a high degree of heterogeneity and a high risk of bias due to confounding in this body of literature. Lymphoma survivors have an increased risk of fatal cardiovascular events compared to the general population and should be targeted for cardiovascular screening and prevention campaigns.

Abstract
This study examined the effects of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and associated preparative regimens on vascular structure and function. Measures of carotid artery stiffness and brachial artery endothelial-dependent dilation were obtained in patients who had survived ≥ 2 years after HCT for hematologic malignancy and were diagnosed at ≤21 years. HCT survivors (n = 108) were examined: 66 received total body irradiation (TBI) alone or with a low-dose cranial radiation boost (TBI±LD-CRT), 19 received TBI plus high-dose cranial radiation (TBI+HD-CRT), and 23 received a chemotherapy-only preparative regimen (CHEMO). Siblings (n = 83) were invited to participate as control subjects. Although endothelial-dependent dilation did not differ between siblings and HCT survivors, carotid cross-sectional compliance, cross-sectional distensibility, diameter compliance, and diameter distensibility were greater in siblings than HCT survivors. Comparing the HCT preparative regimens, carotid cross-sectional compliance, cross-sectional distensibility, diameter compliance, diameter distensibility, and incremental elastic modulus were significantly lower in the TBI+HD-CRT group compared with siblings or with TBI±LD-CRT and CHEMO treatment groups. Cross-sectional distensibility and diameter compliance were significantly lower in the TBI±LD-CRT group compared with siblings. TBI±LD-CRT and CHEMO groups did not differ from each other in these vascular measures. HCT preparative regimens containing TBI+HD-CRT resulted in greater arterial decrements, indicating increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
Pediatric allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) recipients with chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) are at high risk for endocrinopathies, particularly impaired bone mineral density (BMD). However, rates of BMD impairment in pediatric AHSCT recipients with cGVHD have not been well documented. We report 33 patients with cGVHD who were referred to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the Natural History of Clinical and Biological Factors Determining Outcomes in Chronic Graft-versus-Host Disease Study (NCT 0092235) and underwent formal BMD assessment via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). Not surprisingly, we found much higher rates of BMD impairment than previously reported for pediatric AHSCT recipients who were not stratified by the presence or absence of cGVHD. Most of these patients (73%) had a z-score ≤-2 in at least 1 anatomic site. Although we expected the rate to be higher than that observed for pediatric AHSCT recipients in studies that did not analyze patients with cGVHD separately, this rate is nonetheless extremely high. Furthermore, the overall rate of occult vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) in our cohort was 17%, and the rate was 23% in patients with at least 1 z-score of ≤-2. The rates of BMD impairment and VCF in our pediatric cohort were significantly higher than those seen in the adult AHSCT recipients who were concurrently enrolled on the same study at the NIH and had similar cGVHD severity. We found that older age at cGVHD diagnosis and a greater number of systemic therapies were associated with occult VCF. Moreover, the intensity of current immunosuppression negatively impacted lumbar spine and total hip BMD in this cohort. Our study, although limited by small patient numbers and lack of a control AHSCT recipient group without cGVHD, indicates that children with cGVHD are at a greater risk for BMD impairment than previously appreciated. Given the rising incidence of cGVHD in AHSCT recipients and our findings, we recommend that pre-AHSCT DEXA be incorporated into routine pediatric pretransplantation screening studies. A baseline DEXA study could facilitate longitudinal monitoring of BMD in children, who may be more susceptible than adults to the negative effects of AHSCT on BMD. In addition, given the high risk of BMD impairment in pediatric AHSCT recipients with cGVHD, such patients should undergo BMD evaluation upon developing cGVHD, with continued monitoring thereafter to allow intervention before progression of the BMD impairment to its severe manifestation, VCF.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for life-threatening malignancies and related diseases. Recently, the long-term prognosis of HSCT during childhood has greatly improved; however, the late adverse effects of HSCT have been found to cause substantial morbidity among long-term survivors. Although metabolic complications, such as diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperlipidemia (HL), are the major late effects of pediatric HSCT, the clinical details are not clarified sufficiently. METHODS From 1983 to 2013, 75 participants underwent HSCT in our institute because of malignant or other related diseases. We retrospectively evaluated metabolic complications of eligible 22 participants (14 men and 8 women), and their clinical backgrounds. RESULTS Among 22 participants, 4 and 9 participants developed DM and HL after HSCT, respectively, and all participants with DM developed HL. None of the participants with DM were obese, and all had substantial insulin resistance. Total body irradiation (TBI) was performed in 10 participants, including 4 participants with DM and 5 participants with HL, revealing that TBI is an independent risk factor for DM. The age at TBI for participants with DM was significantly lower than that for participants without DM (p = 0.01), and all participants with DM received TBI before the age of 6. CONCLUSIONS Our data suggested that TBI was a risk factor for DM after HSCT, and TBI before the age of six increased the possibility of DM without obesity.

Late mortality after autologous blood or marrow transplantation in childhood: a Blood or Marrow Transplant Survivor Study-2 report. Blood 2018; 131:2720-2729.

Abstract
Autologous blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) is a curative option for several types of childhood cancer. However, there is little information regarding the risk of late mortality. We examined all-cause mortality, relapse-related mortality (RRM), and nonrelapse-related mortality (NRM) in 2-year survivors of autologous BMT performed before age 22 between 1980 and 2010 at 1 of 2 US transplant centers. Vital status information was collected using medical records, National Death Index, and Accurint databases. Overall survival was calculated using Kaplan-Meier techniques. Cumulative incidence of mortality used competing risk methods. Standardized mortality ratio (SMR) was calculated using age-, sex-, and calendar-specific mortality rates from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Cox regression analysis was used to determine predictors of all-cause late mortality. Among the 345 2-year survivors, 103 deaths were observed, yielding an overall survival of 70.3% 15 years post-BMT. The leading causes of death included primary disease (50.0%), subsequent neoplasm (21.4%), and infection (18.2%). Overall, the cohort was at a 22-fold increased risk of late mortality (SMR, 21.8; 95% CI, 17.9-26.3), compared with the general population. Mortality rates remained elevated among the 10-year survivors (SMR, 20.6; 95% CI, 9.9-37.2) but approached those of the general population ≥15 years post-BMT. The 10-year cumulative incidence of RRM (14.3%) exceeded that of NRM (10.4%). The 10-year cumulative mortality rate declined over time (<1990, 35.1%; 1990-1999, 25.6%; 2000-2010, 21.8%; P = .05). In conclusion, childhood autologous BMT recipients have an increased risk of late mortality, compared with the general population. The late mortality rates have declined over the past 3 decades.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to evaluate whether modifiable cardiovascular risk conditions and lifestyle factors were temporally associated with an increased risk for ischemic heart disease and overall mortality in a cohort of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) survivors. METHODS HCT recipients who had survived for ≥1 year, were ≥20 years old, and had undergone transplantation between 1970 and 2010 at a transplant referral center were surveyed in 2010-2011 about cardiovascular health and lifestyle factors (n = 3833). Respondents (n = 2360 [61.6%]) were followed to 2016 for incident ischemic heart disease and overall mortality. RESULTS Among the 2360 transplant survivors (median age at the baseline survey, 55.9 years; median time since transplantation, 10.8 years), 162 (6.9%) reported ischemic heart disease at the baseline survey. Among those without ischemic heart disease at the baseline survey (n = 2198), the 5-year cumulative incidence of subsequent ischemic heart disease was 4.3%. Obesity, dyslipidemia, diabetes, and physical inactivity at baseline were associated with an increased risk for subsequent ischemic heart disease (hazard ratio [HRs] ≥ 1.8). Greater physical activity and fruit/vegetable intake at baseline were associated with subsequent lower overall mortality (HRs ≤ 0.7). When jointly considered, each additional cardiovascular risk condition and each adverse lifestyle factor were independently associated with subsequent ischemic heart disease (HR for risk conditions, 1.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.0-1.9; HR for lifestyle factors, 1.9; 95% CI, 1.2-2.9), and adverse lifestyle factors remained associated with overall mortality (HR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.5-2.3). CONCLUSIONS These results support strong efforts to promote healthy lifestyle behaviors and to treat cardiovascular risk factors aggressively in HCT survivors. This may reduce future ischemic heart disease and overall mortality in this high-risk population. Cancer 2018;124:1507-15. © 2018 American Cancer Society.

Abstract
In the last 40 years, considerable progress was made in the treatment of childhood cancer. Nearly 80% of children achieve long-term clinical remission or are permanently cured. This improvement is however not without sacrifice. This is the first Polish study analyzing the general health status and epidemiology of organ late effects in the cohort of Polish childhood and adolescent cancer survivors monitored by doctors and registered in the on-line national database for late effects (N = 1761). This tool collects information on previous therapy and current health status (medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests) of cancer survivors. The survivors are invited to take part in the follow-up examination 5 years after the end of treatment. In the study group, 207 survivors (11.75%) had no complaints; whereas in 1554 cases (88.25%), one or more symptoms/complaints suggesting organ dysfunction were reported. In the whole group, the circulatory problems were most common (31.7%); more than 20% of survivors presented complaints or abnormal function of the urinary tract and had skin, dental, skeletal/muscular problems, or difficulty with chewing. Obesity or short stature alone (21.4%) and a variety of endocrine problems (short stature, obesity, thyroid dysfunction, and gonads toxicity) were present in 323 patients (118 females 15.0% and 205 males 21.0%). Gonadal dysfunction, as the only problem, occurred in 75 girls (9.6%) and 131 boys (13.4%). In our cohort, severe or life-threatening health conditions (3 and 4 grade according to toxicity criteria) were present in low percentage, i.e., 0.2% in the circulatory system, 0.3% in the respiratory tract and, 0.7% in kidney insufficiency. CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that many childhood cancer survivors demonstrate numerous complaints, even a short time after treatment, suggesting the importance of regular follow-up examinations in subsequent years. What is Known: • Contemporary studies indicate that a significant number of childhood cancer survivors present different long-term side effects which influence their quality of life. What is New: • This is the first nationwide study performed in the largest cohort of Polish childhood cancer survivors concerning general health status and frequency of organ dysfunction.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathy is common in long-term survivors of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Events occurring before and after HSCT when combined with specific insults during HSCT likely contribute to long-term risk. Strategies for detecting subclinical cardiomyopathy prior to patients developing overt heart failure are under investigation. Changes in HSCT preparative regimens and cardioprotective medications administered during chemotherapy may alter the risk for cardiomyopathy. Interventions in long-term survivors such as lifestyle modification and cardioactive medications are of increasing importance. Herein we review the causes of cardiac injury, discuss strategies for detection of cardiomyopathy, and evaluate therapeutic options for long-term HSCT survivors.

Abstract
Thanks to the advances in cancer treatment, the five-year survival rate after childhood cancer has increased up to 80%. Therefore 1/500 young adults will be a survivor. Endocrine sequelae are most common, affecting 40-60% of survivors. The most frequent sequelae include growth failure and gonadal and thyroid diseases. Sequelae occur more frequently in survivors from central nervous system tumors, leukemia, and lymphoma. Their development will depend on the type of cancer, its location, age at diagnosis, and treatment administered. Treatments associated to more endocrine sequels are cranial radiotherapy and hematopoietic cell transplantation. Because of the high prevalence of endocrine sequelae, international guidelines recommend endocrinologists to prospectively evaluate the survivors. As some of these endocrine changes will not develop until adult life, transition programs should be implemented, and active investigation should be made to decrease the endocrine consequences of cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pediatric cancer survivors are at increased risk of developing low bone mineral density (BMD) due to cancer treatment. This study assessed the yield of screening for low BMD in pediatric-aged cancer survivors as per the Children's Oncology Group Long-Term Follow-Up (COG-LTFU) Guidelines, which recommend screening survivors who received steroids, methotrexate, or hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of 475 pediatric blood cancer and noncentral nervous system solid tumor survivors screened for low BMD with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as per the COG-LTFU Guidelines from 2003 to 2010. Risk factors for low BMD (DXA Z-score ≤-2) were evaluated by univariate and multivariate analysis. RESULTS The mean DXA Z-score was -0.1 for both whole body and lumbar spine measurements. Among at-risk survivors, 8.2% (39/475) had low BMD. Multivariate analysis of survivors with low BMD showed significant association with male gender (odds ratio [OR] 3.4, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.3-9.0), exposure to total body irradiation (TBI), cranial, or craniospinal radiation (OR 5.2, 95% CI, 1.8-14.9), and gonadal dysfunction (OR 4.3, 95% CI, 1.4-13.0). Methotrexate exposure was not significantly associated with low BMD. Survivors receiving HCT had a reduced risk of low BMD (OR 0.2, 95% CI, 0.1-0.9). CONCLUSION The highest risk factors for low BMD were male gender, exposure to TBI, cranial, or craniospinal radiation, and gonadal dysfunction. Survivors receiving methotrexate or HCT therapy have the lowest risk for low BMD among those screened. Future studies should investigate risk of low BMD for survivors receiving HCT without radiation exposure.

Abstract
Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) has been used for curative intent in patients with hematologic and nonhematologic malignancies, resulting in an increasing number of HCT survivors. These survivors are at risk for serious and life-threatening complications, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). This article provides an overview of CVD in HCT survivors, describing the pathophysiology of disease, with a special emphasis on therapeutic exposures and comorbidities unique to this population. This article also discusses novel screening and prevention strategies that have shown promise in non-HCT cancer populations, emphasizing opportunities for collaboration between cardiologists and hematologists to improve the cardiovascular health of HCT survivors.

Abstract
Blood or marrow transplantation (BMT) is used with curative intent for hematologic malignancies. Conditional on surviving the first 2 years after BMT, 5-year survival generally exceeds 70%. However, the cumulative therapeutic exposures lead to premature onset of chronic health conditions, such that the 15-year cumulative incidence of severe or life-threatening chronic health conditions exceeds 40%, resulting in premature mortality. The high burden of morbidity, coupled with a long latency between BMT and the development of chronic health conditions necessitates life-long risk-based monitoring of the BMT survivors. The issues of how and when to screen BMT survivors for therapy-related complications and exacerbation of preexisting conditions are important and largely unanswered questions. For BMT survivors, screening recommendations must incorporate risks associated with pre-BMT therapy as well as risks related to transplant conditioning and graft-versus-host disease. Here, we describe our approach to monitoring BMT survivors for risk-based screening and early detection of key late-occurring or long-term complications using patient scenarios to illustrate our discussion.
