Abstract
Expression and functions of microRNAs (miRNAs) have been widely investigated in cancer treatment-induced complications and as a response to physical activity, respectively, but few studies focus on the application of miRNAs as biomarkers in exercise-based cancer rehabilitation. Research has shown that certain miRNA expression is altered substantially due to tissue damage caused by cancer treatment and chronic inflammation. MiRNAs are released from the damaged tissue and can be easily detected in blood plasma. Levels of the miRNA present in peripheral circulation can therefore be used to measure the extent of tissue damage. Moreover, damage to tissues such as cardiac and skeletal muscle significantly affects the individual's health-related fitness, which can be determined using physiologic functional assessments. These physiologic parameters are a measure of tissue health and function and can therefore be correlated with the levels of circulating miRNAs. In this paper, we reviewed miRNAs whose expression is altered during cancer treatment and may correlate to physiological, physical, and psychological changes that significantly impact the quality of life of cancer survivors and their role in response to physical activity. We aim to identify potential miRNAs that can not only be used for monitoring changes that occur in health-related fitness during cancer treatment but can also be used to evaluate response to exercise-based rehabilitation and monitor individual progress through the rehabilitation programme.

Abstract
Repeated exposure to ionizing radiation has been reported to increase the risk of chronic metabolic disorders such as systemic hyperlipidemia and intracellular lipid accumulation that might lead to diabetes-induced heart disease. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pterostilbene on high-fat diet rats suffering from ionizing radiation-induced hyperlipidemia. High-fat diet rats showed an increase in body weight and body fat compared with rats fed with normal chow. Pterostilbene and Orlistat treatments resulted in lower body weight and body fat gain, insulin resistance, reduced lipid peroxidation with attenuated liver enzyme levels, and regulated lipogenesis-related genes in the HFD + IR rat group. Regulation of Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) mRNA enhanced paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) and arylesterase (AE) activities and inhibited that of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG-CoA). It also increased the activities of plasma lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL). Pterostilbene and Orlistat also corrected the alterations of serum leptin and adiponectin levels in lipidemic rats. Such findings provide evidence that Pterostilbene and Orlistat can act as normolipidemic agents that possess lipid-lowering effects and potential as a radioprotector.

Abstract
Significance: Survivors of pediatric cancers have a high risk of developing side effects after the end of their treatments. Many potential factors have been associated with the onset of cardiometabolic disorders (CMD), including cancer disease itself, chemotherapy, hormonal treatment, radiotherapy, and genetics. However, the precise etiology and underlying mechanisms of these long-term complications are poorly understood. Recent Advances: Greater awareness is currently paid to the role of microbiota in the emergence of cancers and modulation of cancer therapies in both children and adults. Alterations in the composition and diversity of intestinal microbiota can clearly influence tumor development and progression as well as immune responses and clinical output. As dysbiosis is closely linked to the development of host metabolic diseases, including obesity, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, it may increase the risk of CMD in cancer populations. Critical Issues: Only limited studies targeting the profile of intestinal dysbiosis before and after cancer treatment have been conducted. Further, the exact contribution of intestinal dysbiosis to the development of CMD in cancer survivors is poorly appreciated. This review intends to clarify the influence of gut microbiota on CMD in childhood cancer survivors, elucidate the potential mechanisms, and evaluate the latest research on the interplay between diet/food supplement, microbiota, and cancer-related CMD. Future Directions: The implication of intestinal dysbiosis in late metabolic complications of childhood cancer survivors should be clarified. Intervention strategies could be developed to reduce the risk of survivors to CMD. Antioxid. Redox Signal. 34, 223-251.

Bone Mineral Density Evolution and Its Determinants in Long-term Survivors of Childhood Acute Leukemia: A Leucémies Enfants Adolescents Study. Hemasphere 2021; 5:e518. [PMID: 33458594 PMCID: PMC7806242 DOI: 10.1097/hs9.0000000000000518] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2020] [Accepted: 11/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/27/2022] Open
Abstract
This prospective study aimed to analyze determinants that can influence bone mineral density evolution in childhood acute leukemia survivors. Patients included were selected from the long-term follow-up LEA cohort and had dual energy radiograph absorptiometry scan between 10 and 18 years and after the age of 18. All scans were centrally reviewed. Bone mineral density was measured at the lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip, and whole body, and expressed as z-score. Eighty-nine patients (female 39, lymphoblastic leukemia 68, relapse 25, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation 44, and mean age 15.4 and 20.1 years at the first and second scans, respectively) were studied. The first and second scan z-scores were significantly correlated (P < 10−3). Mean femoral neck and total hip z-scores improved significantly between the first and second scans, whereas no significant evolution occurred at the lumbar spine and whole-body level. On the second evaluation, 14.6% of patients had z-score <−2 at the lumbar spine and 4.3% at the femoral neck level. Gender, type of leukemia, transplantation, relapse, cumulative corticosteroid doses, or growth hormone deficiency did not have any significant impact on z-score variation. Younger age at diagnosis (≤8.5 years) proved an unfavorable risk factor for z-score evolution at the lumbar spine (P = 0.041); the trend did not reach statistical significance for metabolic syndrome (P = 0.054). At the femoral neck, both were associated with unfavorable z-score evolution (P = 0.003 and 0.025, respectively). Patients treated at a younger age and those with metabolic syndrome seem to be at higher risk of bone mineral density decline and should benefit from specific interventions.

Abstract
Over the past decades, survival rates of childhood cancer have increased considerably from 5 to 30% in the early seventies to current rates exceeding 80%. This is due to the development of effective chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy and stem cell transplantation, combined with an optimized stratification of therapy and better supportive care regimens. As a consequence, active surveillance strategies of late sequelae have been developed to improve the quality of survival. Several epidemiological studies have reported an increased incidence of (components of) metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular disease in childhood cancer survivors (CCS). Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) after cranial radiotherapy (CRT) has been previously described as an important cause of MetS. New insights suggest a role for abdominal radiotherapy as a determinant for MetS as well. The role of other risk factors, such as specific chemotherapeutic agents, steroids, gonadal impairment, thyroid morbidity and genetics, warrants further investigation. This knowledge is important to define subgroups of CCS that are at risk to develop (subclinical) MetS features. These survivors might benefit from standard surveillance and early interventions, for example lifestyle and diet advice and medical treatment, thereby preventing the development of cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impairment of health-related physical fitness (HRPF) in survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia has been shown. However, evidence of impairment in survivors of other pediatric malignancies and possible risk factors is limited. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS HRPF of 17 survivors of pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML), 26 survivors of neuroblastoma (NBL), 28 survivors of Wilms tumor (WT) (median age 28.8 [18.8-62.6] years) after a median follow-up time of 24.5 (6.5-43.6) years, and 74 healthy controls (median age 26.9 [17.9-61.7] years). Risk factors were investigated. Testing included submaximal cardiovascular endurance (6-Minute Walk Test (6 MWT), flexibility, and muscle strength. RESULTS Results are expressed as mean (standard error). Survivors scored significantly lower than controls on the 6 MWT (588 ± 6.1 m vs. controls 611 ± 6.0 m; P = 0.008), on side flexion of the trunk (20.1 ± 0.4 cm vs. controls 22.4 ±0.4 cm; P < 0.001), and on vertical jump (39.7 ± 0.8 cm vs. controls 43.8 ± 0.8 cm; P < 0.001). Survivors of AML had lower scores on the 6 MWT (563 ± 12.4 m) than survivors of NBL (585 ± 9.9 m) and survivors of WT (606 ± 9.6 m), P = 0.046. Being a survivor, higher body mass index (BMI) and no participation in sports were independently associated with lower scores on the 6 MWT. CONCLUSION Survivors of NBL, WT, and especially AML have impaired HRPF. Higher BMI and physical inactivity at adult age appeared prominent risk factors for impaired HRPF in these survivors.

Abstract
The prevalence of the metabolic syndrome among adults from the French LEA childhood acute leukemia survivors' cohort was prospectively evaluated considering the type of anti-leukemic treatment received, and compared with that of controls. The metabolic profile of these patients was compared with that of controls. A total of 3203 patients from a French volunteer cohort were age- and sex-matched 3:1 to 1025 leukemia survivors (in both cohorts, mean age: 24.4 years; females: 51%). Metabolic syndrome was defined according to the National Cholesterol Education Program's Adult Treatment Panel III criteria. Metabolic syndrome was found in 10.3% of patients (mean follow-up duration: 16.3±0.2 years) and 4.5% of controls, (OR=2.49; P<0.001). Patients transplanted with total body irradiation presented the highest risk (OR=6.26; P<0.001); the other treatment groups also showed a higher risk than controls, including patients treated with chemotherapy only. Odd Ratios were 1.68 (P=0.005) after chemotherapy only, 2.32 (P=0.002) after chemotherapy and cranial irradiation, and 2.18 (P=0.057) in patients transplanted without irradiation. Total body irradiation recipients with metabolic syndrome displayed a unique profile compared with controls: smaller waist circumference (91 vs 99.6 cm; P=0.01), and increased triglyceride levels (3.99 vs 1.5 mmol/L; P<0.001), fasting glucose levels (6.2 vs 5.6 mmol/L; P=0.049), and systolic blood pressure (137.9 vs 132.8 mmHg; P=0.005). By contrast, cranial irradiation recipients with metabolic syndrome had a larger waist circumference (109 vs 99.6 cm; P=0.007) than controls. Regardless of the anti-leukemic treatment, metabolic syndrome risk was higher among childhood leukemia survivors. Its presentation differed depending on the treatment type, thus suggesting a divergent pathophysiology. This study is registered at clinicaltrials.gov identifier: 01756599.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Survivors of childhood non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) are at increased risk for chronic health conditions. The objective of this study was to characterize health conditions, neurocognitive function, and physical performance among a clinically evaluated cohort of 200 childhood NHL survivors. METHOD Chronic health and neurocognitive conditions were graded as per a modified version of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) and impaired physical function defined as performance < 10th percentile of normative data. Multivariable regression was used to investigate associations between sociodemographic characteristics, therapeutic exposures, and outcomes. RESULTS Survivors were a median age of 10 years (range 1-19) at diagnosis and 34 years (range 20-58) at evaluation. Eighty-eight (44%) received radiation, 46 (23%) cranial radiation, and 69 (35%) high-dose methotrexate. Most prevalent CTCAE Grades 3-4 (severe life-threatening) conditions were obesity (35%), hypertension (9%), and impairment of executive function (13%), attention (9%), and memory (4%). Many had impaired strength (48%), flexibility (39%), muscular endurance (36%), and mobility (36%). Demographic and treatment-related factors were associated with the development of individual chronic diseases and functional deficits. CONCLUSIONS Clinical evaluation identified a high prevalence of chronic health conditions, neurocognitive deficits, and performance limitations in childhood NHL survivors.

Pediatr Blood Cancer 2016; 63:2212-2220. [PMID: 27578188 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.26198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2016] [Revised: 07/01/2016] [Accepted: 07/07/2016] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Despite similarities in upfront treatment of childhood cancer, not every adult survivor of childhood cancer (CCS) has an impaired bone mineral density (BMD). No data are available on the role of genetic variation on impairment of BMD in CCS. METHODS This cross-sectional single-center cohort study included 334 adult CCSs (median follow-up time after cessation of treatment: 15 years; median age at follow-up: 26 years). Total body BMD (BMDTB ) and lumbar spine BMD (BMDLS ) were measured by dual x-ray absorptiometry. We selected 12 candidate single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 11 genes (COL1A1, TNFSF11, TNFRSF11, TNRFSA11B, VDR, ESR1, WLS, LRP5, MTHFR, MTRR, IL-6). RESULTS Multivariate analyses revealed that lower BMD was associated with lower weight and height at follow-up, male sex, and previously administered radiotherapy. Survivors with the homozygous minor allele (GG) genotype of rs2504063 (ESR1: estrogen receptor type 1) had a lower BMDTB values (-1.16 vs. -0.82; P = 0.01) than those with the AG/AA genotype; however, BMDLS was not different. Carriers of two minor alleles (GG) of rs599083 (LRP5: low-density lipoprotein receptor) revealed lower BMDTB (-1.20 vs. -0.78; P = 0.02) and lower BMDLS (-0.95 vs. -0.46; P = 0.01) values than those with the TT/TG genotype. CONCLUSION CCSs who are carriers of candidate SNPs in the ESR1 or LRP5 genes seem to have an impaired bone mass at an early adult age. Information on genetic variation, in addition to patient- and treatment-related factors, may be helpful in identifying survivors who are at risk for low bone density after childhood cancer treatment.

Abstract
Increasing numbers of long-term cancer survivors face important treatment related adverse effects. Cancer treatment induced metabolic syndrome (CTIMetS) is an especially prevalent and harmful condition. The aetiology of CTIMetS likely differs from metabolic syndrome in the general population, but effective treatment and prevention methods are probably similar. In this review, we summarize the potential mechanisms leading to the development of CTIMetS after various types of cancer treatment. Furthermore, we propose a safe and accessible method to treat or prevent CTIMetS through lifestyle change. In particular, we suggest that a lifestyle intervention and optimization of energy balance can prevent or mitigate the development of CTIMetS, which may contribute to optimal survivorship care.

Abstract
Over the last four decades the survival of paediatric patients with acute myeloid leukaemia has gradually increased to 70% in high-income countries. The therapy is very intensive and associated with many acute and long-term side effects. The early death rate has been reduced to 1-4%. The acute toxicity is a limiting factor for improving survival in low-income countries. Transplant is associated with more endocrinological late effects while cardiotoxicity is more common after relapse. Reducing the physical costs of therapy without jeopardizing survival may be accomplished by optimal supportive care, less cardiotoxic anthracyclines, less consolidation courses and strict indications for stem cell transplantation. Analysing scenarios with different frequency of transplantation in first complete remission show similar overall survival rates, indicating that almost all patients can be spared the procedure in first remission. Reducing relapse risk is an effective way of reducing toxicity and more targeted therapy and improved risk group stratifications are needed.

Abstract
Cardiovascular conditions are serious long-term complications of childhood acute leukemia. However, few studies have investigated the risk of metabolic syndrome, a known predictor of cardiovascular disease, in patients treated without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. We describe the overall and age-specific prevalence, and the risk factors for metabolic syndrome and its components in the L.E.A. (Leucémie de l'Enfant et de l'Adolescent) French cohort of childhood acute leukemia survivors treated without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The study included 650 adult patients (mean age at evaluation: 24.2 years; mean follow-up after leukemia diagnosis: 16.0 years). The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 6.9% (95% CI 5.1-9.2). The age-specific cumulative prevalence at 20, 25, 30 and 35 years of age was 1.3%, 6.1%, 10.8% and 22.4%, respectively. The prevalence of decreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, increased triglycerides, increased fasting glucose, increased blood pressure and increased abdominal circumference was 26.8%, 11.7%, 5.8%, 36.7% and 16.7%, respectively. Risk factors significantly associated with metabolic syndrome in the multivariate analysis were male sex (OR 2.64; 95% CI 1.32-5.29), age at last evaluation (OR 1.10; 95% CI 1.04-1.17) and body mass index at diagnosis (OR 1.15; 95% CI 1.01-1.32). The cumulative steroid dose was not a significant risk factor. Irradiated and non-irradiated patients exhibited different patterns of metabolic abnormalities, with more frequent abdominal obesity in irradiated patients and more frequent hypertension in non-irradiated patients. Survivors of childhood acute leukemia are at risk of metabolic syndrome, even when treated without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or central nervous system irradiation. A preventive approach with regular screening for cardiovascular risk factors is recommended. clinicaltrials.gov identifier:01756599.

Abstract
The cure rate for paediatric malignancies is increasing, and most patients who have cancer during childhood survive and enter adulthood. Surveillance for late endocrine effects after childhood cancer is required to ensure early diagnosis and treatment and to optimize physical, cognitive and psychosocial health. The degree of risk of endocrine deficiency is related to the child's sex and their age at the time the tumour is diagnosed, as well as to tumour location and characteristics and the therapies used (surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy). Potential endocrine problems can include growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism (primary or central), adrenocorticotropin deficiency, hyperprolactinaemia, precocious puberty, hypogonadism (primary or central), altered fertility and/or sexual function, low BMD, the metabolic syndrome and hypothalamic obesity. Optimal endocrine care for survivors of childhood cancer should be delivered in a multidisciplinary setting, providing continuity from acute cancer treatment to long-term follow-up of late endocrine effects throughout the lifespan. Endocrine therapies are important to improve long-term quality of life for survivors of childhood cancer.

Abstract
Adipokines have multiple effects, including regulation of glucose metabolism, cell proliferation, inflammation, and angiogenesis. The aim of the study was to determine plasma concentrations of adiponectin, apelin, leptin, and resistin as well as soluble leptin receptor in pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The expression of genes encoding the studied peptides was measured using microarray technique. Plasma concentrations of tested peptides were measured before and after oral glucose tolerance test in children treated with HSCT (n = 38) and in healthy controls (n = 26). The peptides were measured before HSCT (pre-HSCT group; n = 38) and after a median of 6 months after HSCT (post-HSCT group; n = 27 of 38 children treated with HSCT). In addition, measurements of fasting plasma glucose, insulin, lipids, and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) were performed. In both HSCT groups, atherogenic lipid profile, low-grade systemic inflammation was observed. Leptin, adiponectin, and resistin also appear to be good markers of disease burden and low-grade systemic inflammation. Adipokines may be good markers of disease burden and may influence metabolic complications of HSCT. Future studies on larger groups of patients will explain if changes of the concentrations of leptin, adiponectin, and apelin observed in our study and confirmed by expression levels influence engraftment and reconstitution of cell lines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Life expectancy of cancer survivors has doubled in the past four decades; however, death due to cardiovascular disease is more prevalent in survivors than the general population. OBJECTIVE, DESIGN AND METHODS We evaluated novel and traditional cardiometabolic risk factors in young male cancer survivors in a cross-sectional study of male cancer survivors aged 25-45 years compared with age-matched noncancer controls. Demographic and anthropometric data were recorded and biochemical and hormonal parameters assayed from fasting blood samples in 176 survivors and 213 controls (lipids were measured in all survivors and 97 controls). RESULTS Compared with controls, survivors had significantly higher body mass index, adipocytokines, insulin resistance, total cholesterol and triglyceride levels and lower free androgen index (FAI). Handgrip strength, smoking, alcohol consumption, free oestrogen index, insulin-like growth factor 1 and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels did not differ between cancer survivors and controls. Risk factors were analysed simultaneously using stepwise multivariable logistic regression, and this showed that high leptin: adiponectin ratio (odds ratio = 2·63; 95% confidence interval: 1·34-5·15; P = 0·005), hypercholesterolaemia (odds ratio = 1·85; 95%CI: 1·08-3·17; P = 0·025) and low FAI (odds ratio = 2·01; 95% confidence interval: 1·07-3·79; P = 0·030) were independently more common in survivors. The odds ratio in survivors for having at least two of these three risk factors rose to 6·58 (95% confidence interval: 3·30-13·12; P < 0·001). Among survivors, risk factors were not different between cancer therapies but worse in survivors who had radiotherapy involving the testes (hyperleptinaemia and insulin resistance) or age at diagnosis above group median (hypertriglyceridaemia and hypercholesterolaemia). CONCLUSIONS A high leptin: adiponectin ratio, hypercholesterolaemia and low FAI are observed in young male cancer survivors, especially those who received radiotherapy involving the testes or were diagnosed at a later age. In view of their youth and known increased risk of cardiovascular death, treatment strategies are required to address this cardiovascular risk.

Abstract
A significant number of long-term complications have been described in childhood leukemia survivors. In particular, these patients may present features of metabolic syndrome (MetS), and therefore increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this meta-analysis is to evaluate the prevalence and the risk of MetS in survivors of childhood leukemia. Two authors independently performed a systematic literature search in PubMed and EMBASE to March 2014, reviewed and selected articles, based on pre-determined selection criteria. Twelve articles, comprising 2,337 participants (1,462 cases and 875 controls), were included in the meta-analysis. Only three of them were case-control studies eligible for the meta-analysis. The childhood leukemia survivors showed an increased risk of MetS as compared to healthy controls (OR = 4.36; 95 % CI 1.19-16.22). The risk was significantly increased only in patients treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy (OR = 7.79; 95 % CI 1.27-47.77), and not in patients treated with only chemotherapy (OR = 2.35; 95 % CI 0.40-13.78). Childhood leukemia survivors, in particular if treated also with radiotherapy, are prone to develop MetS more than healthy controls. Monitoring of MetS components in these patients is necessary to avoid cardiovascular consequences later in life.

Abstract
The relationship between treatment for hematologic malignancies and risk of developing metabolic syndrome (MS) is controversial; in addition, metabolic changes following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an area of growing interest. We documented the presence of MS in patients with hematological malignancies treated with chemotherapy and HSCT. Nutritional status, anthropometrics, and pertinent laboratory parameters were used to evaluate the presence of MS using the Adult Treatment Panel (ATP III) criteria. In the study, 115 patients were included. Using ATP III criteria, MS was identified in 42 (44.7%) patients treated only with chemotherapy and in 8 (33.3%) patients with an HSCT. There was an important but not significant difference in the mean fasting glucose, which was higher in the chemotherapy group (108.32 ± 54.28 vs. 94.48 ± 18.25, P = 0.300). Mean values of biochemical markers and blood pressure were not different between the groups. An increase in central obesity in men with hematological diseases in comparison to the rest of the population was also found (46.7% vs 32.4%). There was no difference in the prevalence of MS between patients with hematologic malignancies receiving an HSCT and those treated with chemotherapy alone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) have an increased risk of overweight and dyslipidaemia, but the distribution and the potential relationships between anticancer therapies and cardiovascular risk factors have been heterogeneously and not prospectively described. METHODS All consecutive CCSs with primary cancer diagnosed between 1973-2007 and subsequently referred to our outpatient clinic were enrolled. Hypercholesterolaemia (total cholesterol >200 and/or low density lipoprotein (LDL)>160 mg/dl) was the primary end point, hypertriglyceridaemia (triglycerides >200 mg/dl) and body mass index >30 kg/m(2) the secondary end points. Cox multivariate adjustments were performed to account for differences in cancer and treatments. RESULTS A total of 340 patients were included (197 male, 143 female; mean age at last follow-up 24.1 ± 3.2). The most common diagnosis were haematological malignancies (n = 227) and brain tumours (n = 51). After a median follow-up of 16.1 years, hypercholesterolaemia was diagnosed in 67 CCSs (20%), hypertriglyceridaemia in 20 CCSs (6%) and obesity in 28 CCSs (8%). Total body irradiation and growth hormone deficiency increased the risk of both hypercholesterolaemia (hazard ratio (HR) = 2.7; confidence interval (CI) 1.2-4.4 and HR = 2.3; CI 1.1-4.9; all p < 0.05) and hypertriglyceridaemia (HR = 6.5; CI 1.4-31 and HR = 7.2; CI 1.1-43; all p < 0.05). The risk of hypercholesterolaemia was also higher in CCSs who underwent autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HR = 3.2; CI 1.7-5.9; p < 0.001) or platinum-based chemotherapy (HR = 2.7; CI 1.5-4.9; p < 0.001), whereas a previous diagnosis of brain tumour (HR = 10; CI 1.2-45; p < 0.05) and anthracyclines exposure (HR = 1.3; CI 1.2-26; p < 0.05) significantly predicted obesity. CONCLUSION CCSs show a high and variable risk for developing dyslipidaemia and obesity, depending on cancer diagnosis and treatments. Therefore, they need accurate and tailored control of their cardiovascular risk profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND More than 60% of children with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) become long-term survivors. Most are cured using chemotherapy without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). We report on pubertal development and compare self-reported parenthood among AML survivors and their siblings. PROCEDURE We included 137 children treated for AML according to the Nordic Society of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology (NOPHO)-AML-84, -88, and -93 trials, who were alive by June 2007. Patients with relapse or treated with HSCT were excluded. AML survivors participated in a physical and biochemical examination (n = 102) and completed a questionnaire (n = 101). One of their siblings completed an identical questionnaire (n = 84). RESULTS At a median follow-up of 11 years (range 5-25) after diagnosis of AML the survivors (median age 16 years, range 5-36) were either prepubertal or had entered puberty normally. Serum levels of FSH, LH, testosterone, estradiol, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), inhibin A and B, and testicular volumes were within normal ranges. Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) levels were decreased in 5 of 40 postpubertal females. Mean reported age at menarche was 13.1 (range 11-17) years. Among survivors 15 years of age or older 31% of females reported pregnancies and 9% of males reported pregnancies in their partners, rates comparable with the frequency reported by their siblings. CONCLUSIONS Most AML survivors treated with chemotherapy had normal pubertal development and fertility, however, AMH levels were decreased in 13% of postpubertal females. Longer follow-up is necessary to evaluate possible risk of premature ovarian failure.
