Patterns of Physical Therapy Referral and Subsequent Attendance Among Childhood Cancer Survivors with Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy at a Regional Childhood Cancer Survivorship Clinic. Semin Oncol Nurs 2024; 40:151716. [PMID: 39164160 DOI: 10.1016/j.soncn.2024.151716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/21/2024] [Revised: 07/23/2024] [Accepted: 07/25/2024] [Indexed: 08/22/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Physical therapy (PT) improves CIPN symptoms, but little is known about survivors' PT utilization. We described characteristics of survivors with ≥ grade 2 CIPN, investigated PT referral and attendance, and described characteristics of survivors who attended and did not attend PT. METHODS Childhood cancer survivors <21 years old at cancer diagnosis and ≥2 years posttherapy, living in the United States, evaluated at a regional survivorship clinic were included in this retrospective analysis if they had motor CIPN. Symptomatic CIPN (≥grade 2 by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) and PT referral/attendance were tabulated. Patient characteristics from the medical record, and neighborhood characteristics (retrieved using survivors' zip code from the National Neighborhood Data Archive) were described by group. RESULTS Among 91 survivors with CIPN (median 17.5 years old, 8.1 years postcancer diagnosis, 45.1% female), 35 (38.5%) had ≥ grade 2 CIPN. Survivors with ≥ grade 2 CIPN were 28.6% female, and 45.7% were <13 years old. Twenty-four (68.6%) survivors with ≥ grade 2 CIPN agreed to PT referral, and 15 (42.9%) attended PT. Among survivors who attended PT, 73.3% were <13 years old. Neighborhood characteristics of survivors included median percentage of adults without a high school diploma (6.7% PT attendees, 12.5% nonattendees), median percentage of adults who are foreign-born (11.5% PT attendees, 16.4% nonattendees), and median percentage of households with an annual income of <$15,000 (3.2% PT attendees, 6.5% nonattendees). CONCLUSIONS While 68.6% of survivors with ≥ grade 2 CIPN were referred to PT, only 42.9% attended. Studies to better understand barriers to PT attendance and interventions to improve attendance are needed, especially in older survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE Nurses can play a key role in survivor education and care coordination to help optimize PT attendance.

Abstract
In Italy, 1400 children and 800 adolescents are diagnosed with cancer every year. About 80% of them can be cured but are at high risk of experiencing severe side effects, many of which respond to rehabilitation treatment. Due to the paucity of literature on this topic, the Italian Association of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology organized a Consensus Conference on the role of rehabilitation of motor impairments in children/adolescents affected by leukemia, central nervous system tumors, and bone cancer to state recommendations to improve clinical practice. This paper includes the consensus on the rehabilitation of children and adolescents with these cancers.

Abstract
Peripheral nerve damage often leads to the onset of neuropathic pain (NeuP). This condition afflicts millions of people, significantly burdening healthcare systems and putting strain on families' financial well-being. Here, we will focus on the role of peripheral sensory neurons, specifically the Dorsal Root Ganglia neurons (DRG neurons) in the development of NeuP. After axotomy, DRG neurons activate regenerative signals of axons-soma communication to promote a gene program that activates an axonal branching and elongation processes. The results of a neuronal morphological cytoskeleton change are not always associated with functional recovery. Moreover, any axonal miss-targeting may contribute to NeuP development. In this review, we will explore the epidemiology of NeuP and its molecular causes at the level of the peripheral nervous system and the target organs, with major focus on the neuronal cross-talk between intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Specifically, we will describe how failures in the neuronal regenerative program can exacerbate NeuP.

Motor and sensory impairment in survivors of childhood central nervous system (CNS) tumors in the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort (SJLIFE). Cancer Med 2024; 13:e7422. [PMID: 39056576 PMCID: PMC11273544 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.7422] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Survivors of childhood central nervous system (CNS) tumors can develop motor and sensory impairment from their cancer and treatment history. We estimated the prevalence of motor and sensory impairment in survivors compared with controls through clinical assessment and identified associated treatment exposures and functional, quality of life (QOL), and social outcomes. METHODS Survivors of childhood CNS tumors from the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort (n = 378, median [range] age 24.0 [18.0-53.0] years, 43.4% female) ≥5 years from diagnosis and controls (n = 445, median [range] age 34.0 [18.0-70.0] years, 55.7% female) completed in-person evaluation for motor and sensory impairment using the modified Total Neuropathy Score. Impairment was graded by modified Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Multivariable models estimated associations between grade ≥2 motor/sensory impairment, individual/treatment characteristics, and secondary outcomes (function by Physical Performance Test, fitness by physiologic cost index, QOL by Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form-36 physical/mental summary scores, social attainment). RESULTS Grade ≥2 motor or sensory impairment was more prevalent in survivors (24.1%, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 19.8%-29.4%) than controls (2.9%, CI 1.4-4.5%). Among survivors, in multivariable models, motor impairment was associated with vinca exposure <15 mg/m2 versus none (OR 4.38, CI 1.06-18.08) and etoposide exposure >2036 mg/m2 versus none (OR 12.61, CI 2.19-72.72). Sensory impairment was associated with older age at diagnosis (OR 1.09, CI 1.01-1.16) and craniospinal irradiation versus none (OR 4.39, CI 1.68-11.50). There were lower odds of motor/sensory impairment in survivors treated in the year 2000 or later versus before 1990 (Motor: OR 0.29, CI 0.10-0.84, Sensory: OR 0.35, CI 0.13-0.96). Motor impairment was associated with impaired physical QOL (OR 2.64, CI 1.22-5.72). CONCLUSIONS In survivors of childhood CNS tumors, motor and sensory impairment is prevalent by clinical assessment, especially after exposure to etoposide, vinca, or craniospinal radiation. Treating motor impairment may improve survivors' QOL.

Eur J Pediatr 2024:10.1007/s00431-024-05638-9. [PMID: 38856761 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-024-05638-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2024] [Revised: 05/27/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/11/2024]
Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) and associated pain are prevalent adverse effects of pediatric cancer treatment, significantly affecting the patient's quality of life. Their impact and risk factors have yet to be assessed in our country. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and clinical characteristics of CIPN, as well as to explore associations with patient- and treatment-related variables, within a cohort of Argentinean pediatric oncology patients. Sixty-six patients diagnosed with malignant hematopoietic tumors and receiving the neurotoxic agent vincristine were included in this observational study. Variables analyzed included age, gender, anthropometric measurements, tumor type, chemotherapy treatment, development of pain and other symptoms, severity, and analgesic treatment. The study population consisted of 39 boys and 27 girls. Most patients received two or three neurotoxic drugs. Symptoms consistent with CIPN were identified in 15 children, reflecting a prevalence of 23%. The main symptom was pain in the lower limbs, with some patients reporting jaw or generalized body pain. Pain was categorized as moderate or severe in 60% and 27% of cases, respectively. NSAIDs, anticonvulsants, and/or opioids were prescribed. Among the patient- and treatment-related variables analyzed as potential risk factors, the use of vincristine in conjunction with cytarabine and the administration of a higher number of neurotoxic drugs demonstrated significant association with the development of CIPN. CONCLUSIONS Combination therapy stands out as a risk factor for clinical CIPN. The high prevalence of moderate/severe pain underscores the importance of close vigilance given its potential to compromise the patient's overall well-being. WHAT IS KNOWN • Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a frequent adverse effect and dose-limiting factor in pediatric cancer treatment. • Prevalence varies among regions and risk factors are still under study. WHAT IS NEW • Prevalence of symptomatic CIPN is 23% among pediatric patients undergoing treatment for hematopoietic tumors in a referral hospital in Argentina. Most patients report moderate or severe pain. • Combining vincristine with cytarabine and using a higher number of neurotoxic drugs in combination therapies exhibit significant association with the development of CIPN-related symptoms.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy characterized by rapidly increasing numbers of patients is commonly diagnosed via analyzing electromyography signals obtained from stimulation-recording devices. However, existing commercial electrodes have difficulty in implementing conformal contact with skin and gentle detachment, dramatically impairing stimulation/recording performances. Here, this work develops on-skin patches with polyaspartic acid-modified dopamine/ethyl-based ionic liquid hydrogel (PDEH) as stimulation/recording devices to capture electromyography signals for the diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy. Triggered by a one-step electric field treatment, the hydrogel achieves rapid and wide-range regulation of adhesion and substantially strengthened mechanical performances. Moreover, hydrogel patches assembled with a silver-liquid metal (SLM) layer exhibit superior charge injection and low contact impedance, capable of capturing high-fidelity electromyography. This work further verifies the feasibility of hydrogel devices for accurate diagnoses of peripheral neuropathy in sensory, motor, and mixed nerves. For various body parts, such as fingers, the elderly's loose skin, hairy skin, and children's fragile skin, this work regulates the adhesion of PDEH-SLM devices to establish intimate device/skin interfaces or ensure benign removal. Noticeably, hydrogel patches achieve precise diagnoses of nerve injuries in these clinical cases while providing extra advantages of more effective stimulation/recording performances. These patches offer a promising alternative for the diagnosis and rehabilitation of neuropathy in future.

Abstract
During cancer treatment, nutritional status disorders such as malnutrition or obesity affect the tolerance of cancer treatment, quality of life, but also the pharmacokinetics of drugs. It is hypothesized that changes in fat and lean body mass can modify chemotherapy volume distribution, metabolism and clearance. In children with cancer, lean body mass decreases or remains low during treatment and fat mass increases. Body composition is influenced by the cancer itself, aggressive multimodal-therapies, changes in metabolism, unbalanced diet and reduced physical activity. Due to the side effects of treatment, including changes in the sense of taste and smell, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stress, eating according to recommendation for macronutrients and micronutrients is difficult. Research indicates that throughout cancer treatment, the consumption of fruits, vegetables, and dairy products tends to be insufficient, whereas there is an elevated intake of sugar and unhealthy snacks. Children exhibit a preference for high-carbohydrate, salty, and strongly flavored products. This review revealed the importance of body composition and its changes during cancer treatment in children, as well as eating habits and diet quality.

Abstract
Objective Vincristine, a widely used anticancer chemotherapy drug, may cause polyneuropathy (PNP), potentially resulting in permanent functional impairment. We characterized the occurrence and development of vincristine-induced neuropathy (VIPN) in early treatment of childhood leukemia. Methods This prospective study of 35 pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients comprised systematic clinical and electrophysiological studies at both the time of diagnosis and at least one time point during the first months of treatment. Results After vincristine treatment, all patients had axonal sensorimotor PNP on electroneuromyography (ENMG) In 34/35 patients, the motor and in 24/35 the sensory responses were decreased. Interestingly, in 3 patients PNP was most prominent in the upper limb. However, some children had no PNP symptoms despite moderate ENMG findings, and not all clinical symptoms were correlated with abnormal ENMG. Conclusions Pediatric VIPN is a sensorimotor, predominantly motor axonal neuropathy. VIPN can be detected even in its early phase by ENMG, but it is difficult to detect by symptoms and clinical examination only. Significance Pediatric ALL patients treated with vincristine are at risk of developing VIPN. Since the clinical signs of PNP in acutely ill children are difficult to identify, VIPN can easily be overlooked if ENMG is not performed.

[PMID: 38318486 PMCID: PMC10839087 DOI: 10.3389/fspor.2024.1284421] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Introduction Acquired brain injury (ABI) is a prevalent diagnosis in pediatric rehabilitation. Gross motor skills are often affected by ABI and limit the ability to participate in various physical activities. However, as ABI injury location is diverse, children and adolescents (youth) with localized ABI, such as ABI in the posterior fossa (ABI-PF) may present unique and different motor disabilities than youth with ABI on account of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Aims The aims of the study were: (1) to compare gross motor deficits in youth with TBI vs. ABI-PF; and (2) to compare two methods on scoring BOT2 to determine which is better for identifying motor deficits. Methods Participated in this study youth with TBI (N = 50) and ABI-PF (N = 30). Participants were tested on Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2nd Edition (BOT2) Upper-Limb Coordination, Balance, Strength, Running Speed and Agility, and Bilateral-Coordination subtests. Motor performance deficits were established using two-standard deviations (2SD) and age-equivalent methods. Between-group differences were assessed via independent t-tests and receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC). Results According to the 2SD method, motor deficits in the ABI-PF group ranged from 20% to 66.66%, whereas in the TBI group 8%-16%. According to the age-equivalent method, in the TBI and ABI-PF groups 40%-66.0% and 46.66%-76.66% of the youth presented motor deficits, respectively. Moreover, ROC analysis showed that motor performance deficits of both groups in all sub-scales except for Bilateral Coordination differed enough to result in medium area under the curve. Conclusions Motor deficits post-pediatric ABI are prevalent. In comparison to the TBI group, deficits are greater in the ABI-PF group. Moreover, compared to the 2SD method, the extent of motor deficiency is greater in the age-equivalent method. Therefore, using the later might provide a more valid classification of deficits in gross motor proficiency for youth post-ABI.

Abstract
PURPOSE Although physical therapy (PT) positively impacts exercise capacity and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in children with hematological cancers, the optimal time for intervention is unknown. We compared the effects of PT administered before and after initial cancer treatment on the exercise capacity and HRQOL of children with hematological cancer. METHODS The participants were allocated to early (before initiating treatment) and late PT (after initiating treatment) groups. We evaluated exercise capacity using the 6-min walking distance (6MWD) test and HRQOL using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory. RESULTS Thirteen school children (7-13 years) were included. The early PT cohort had significant improvements in Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory but not 6MWD scores from admission to the completion of initial treatment; however, both scores reduced significantly in the late PT cohort. CONCLUSIONS Early rather than late PT during hospitalization might prevent reduced exercise capacity and improve HRQOL in children with hematological cancers.

Abstract
Background Chemotherapy is an important treatment for children with cancer, and chemotherapy-induced pain is an important role in affecting patients' quality of life. In our study, bibliometric analysis was used to identify current research hotspots and future research trends of chemotherapy and pain in children over the last decade. Our findings can provide a reference for the research in the field of chemotherapy and pain in children. Method Publications of chemotherapy and pain in children were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. CiteSpace was used to analyze publication characteristics from 2013 to 2022. Results We identified 1,130 eligible publications in the field of chemotherapy and pain in children, with an increasing trend of publications over the last decade. In the field of chemotherapy and pain in children, the United States had the most publication with 346, followed by China with 135. The author with the most published papers was Pamela S Hinds (n = 8) from the United States. The journals that published the most papers were the Journal of pediatric hematology oncology (n = 44) and Medicine (n = 44). The Journal of Clinical Oncology was cited the most frequency (n = 422). St. Jude Children's Research Hospital had the most publication (n = 23). The specific keywords related to the field of chemotherapy and pain in children were "children", "chemotherapy", "management", "childhood cancer", "randomized controlled trial" and "efficacy". Emerging research focuses predominantly on symptomatic and supportive interventions for chemotherapy and pain in children. Conclusion Attention to chemotherapy and pain in children with cancer was insufficient. This bibliometric analysis showed the upward trend of chemotherapy and pain in children over the last decade. More studies are needed to improve the quality of life in children with chemotherapy-induced pain. This study may provide useful information to guide future research on chemotherapy and pain in children.

Abstract
Background Clinical evidence suggests that chemotherapeutic agents are associated with neuropathy and peripheral autonomic dysfunction. However, the possible effects of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on intraoperative temperature remain poorly characterised. Methods We evaluated patients who underwent a mastectomy for breast cancer between April 2016 and July 2020. Propensity scores were used to match patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with those who did not, and intraoperative core temperature patterns were analysed in the matched cohort. The independent associations between vasopressor use and heart rate during general anaesthesia in the matched cohort were also analysed. Results Data from 1764 patients were analysed (882 patients in each group). Both groups presented a similar pattern of heat redistribution and subsequent rewarming; however, the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group did not reach the same intraoperative plateau temperature as the group that did not receive prior chemotherapy, with differences of up to 0.4°C (95% confidence interval: 0.11-0.63°C; P=0.005). In a subgroup analysis, neuropathy in patients who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy was associated with increased use of vasopressors and higher heart rate. Conclusions In patients with breast cancer, neoadjuvant chemotherapy is associated with lower plateau core temperatures, increased vasopressor use, and higher heart rates during general anaesthesia, which is more severe in the presence of neuropathy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at risk of polyneuropathy due to chemotherapy, but studies in young survivors are scarce and diagnosis is challenging. We aimed to study the presence of polyneuropathy and the possible effect of cumulative doses of chemotherapeutic agents in a representative group of adolescent survivors. METHODS CCS aged nine to 18 years and age- and sex-matched controls were recruited from the cross-sectional Physical Activity and Fitness among Childhood Cancer Survivors (PACCS) study. CCS with various cancer diagnoses who had ended cancer treatment one year or more before study were included. Polyneuropathy was evaluated clinically and with nerve conduction studies (NCSs) in three motor and five sensory nerves. We used mixed-effects linear regression models to compare CCS and controls, and investigate possible associations between cumulative chemotherapy doses and NCS amplitudes. RESULTS A total of 127 CCS and 87 controls were included, with 14% CCS having probable or confirmed polyneuropathy. NCS amplitudes were lower in survivors compared with controls in all nerves. The largest mean difference was 3.47 μV (95% confidence interval [CI], 2.18 to 4.75) in the tibial plantar medial sensory and 1.91 mV (95% CI, 0.78 to 3.04) in the tibial motor nerve. The cumulative dose of platinum derivatives was associated with lower tibial motor nerve amplitude (-0.20; 95% CI, -0.35 to -0.04 mV for 100 mg/m2 dose increase) but not in other nerves. We found no significant associations between vinca alkaloids cumulative dose and amplitudes. CONCLUSIONS CCS without clinical signs or symptoms of polyneuropathy may have subtle nerve affection. The clinical long-term impact of this novel observation should be evaluated in larger, longitudinal studies.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is an important aspect of oncological treatment in several childhood cancers. However, radiotherapy is known to have numerous side effects, including detrimental effects on growth, neurocognitive impairment, and the development of secondary malignancies. One less studied long-term side effect of pediatric radiotherapy treatment is chronic pain. While the short-term toxicities of radiotherapy resolve over a few weeks to months, the chronic pain caused by radiotherapy-induced tissue damage can significantly affect children's quality of life. As long-term childhood cancer survivors age into adulthood, they are typically followed up by a wide variety of doctors, not all of whom may be familiar with radiotherapy-induced chronic pain and its management. The aim of this review is to discuss the various common manifestations of radiotherapy-related pain in children, as well as ways to identify and manage these. Common radiotherapy-related side effects leading to chronic pain symptoms include radiation fibrosis, enteritis, dermatitis, lymphedema, neuropathic pain, and effects on bone development. The pathophysiology, evaluation and management of these are briefly summarized in this review. This is followed by an overview of radiotherapy techniques that allow greater sparing of normal tissue, minimizing future painful side effects. Finally, the assessment of pain in children is described, as well as strategies for management, and red flag symptoms that should prompt urgent specialist referral. In conclusion, a good understanding of the long-term side effects of radiotherapy treatment in children is essential for the various medical professionals that follow-up the child in the years after treatment. For young children, the evaluation of pain is in itself a challenge, and effects on growth, development, and learning are crucial. For older children, social and psychological factors become increasingly important. As radiation therapy techniques continue to advance, the spectrum and incidence of chronic pain syndromes may change over time.

Abstract
Brain cancer and leukemia are the most common cancers diagnosed in the pediatric population and are often treated with lifesaving chemotherapy. However, chemotherapy causes severe adverse effects and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a major dose-limiting and debilitating side effect. CIPN can greatly impair quality of life and increases morbidity of pediatric patients with cancer, with the accompanying symptoms frequently remaining underdiagnosed. Little is known about the incidence of CIPN, its impact on the pediatric population, and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms, as most existing information stems from studies in animal models or adult cancer patients. Herein, we aim to provide an understanding of CIPN in the pediatric population and focus on the 6 main substance groups that frequently cause CIPN, namely the vinca alkaloids (vincristine), platinum-based antineoplastics (cisplatin, carboplatin and oxaliplatin), taxanes (paclitaxel and docetaxel), epothilones (ixabepilone), proteasome inhibitors (bortezomib) and immunomodulatory drugs (thalidomide). We discuss the clinical manifestations, assessments and diagnostic tools, as well as risk factors, pathophysiological processes and current pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches for the prevention and treatment of CIPN.

Persistence of Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neuropathy Despite Vincristine Reduction in Childhood B-Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. J Natl Cancer Inst 2022; 114:1167-1175.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with B-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) are at risk for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Children's Oncology Group AALL0932 randomized reduction in vincristine and dexamethasone (every 4 weeks vs 12 weeks during maintenance in the average-risk subset of National Cancer Institute standard-B-ALL (SR AR B-ALL). We longitudinally measured CIPN, overall and by treatment group. METHODS AALL0932 standard-B-ALL patients aged 3 years and older were evaluated at T1-T4 (end consolidation, maintenance month 1, maintenance month 18, 12 months posttherapy). Physical and occupational therapists (PT/OT) measured motor CIPN (hand and ankle strength, dorsiflexion and plantarflexion range of motion), sensory CIPN (finger and toe vibration and touch), function (dexterity [Purdue Pegboard], and walking efficiency [Six-Minute Walk]). Proxy-reported function (Pediatric Outcome Data Collection Instrument) and quality of life (Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory) were assessed. Age- and sex-matched z scores and proportion impaired were measured longitudinally and compared between groups. RESULTS Consent and data were obtained from 150 participants (mean age = 5.1 years [SD = 1.7], 48.7% female). Among participants with completed evaluations, 81.8% had CIPN at T1 (74.5% motor, 34.1% sensory). When examining severity of PT/OT outcomes, only handgrip strength (P < .001) and walking efficiency (P = .02) improved from T1-T4, and only dorsiflexion range of motion (46.7% vs 14.7%; P = .008) and handgrip strength (22.2% vs 37.1%; P = .03) differed in vincristine and dexamethasone every 4 weeks vs vincristine and dexamethasone 12 weeks at T4. Proxy-reported outcomes improved from T1 to T4 (P < .001), and most did not differ between groups. CONCLUSIONS CIPN is prevalent early in B-ALL therapy and persists at least 12 months posttherapy. Most outcomes did not differ between treatment groups despite reduction in vincristine frequency. Children with B-ALL should be monitored for CIPN, even with reduced vincristine frequency.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients with pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are at risk for impaired physical function from treatment. Early physical therapy (PT) may improve physical function and health in children with ALL, yet little is known about PT utilization in this population. METHODS Leveraging the Premier Healthcare Database, we conducted a cohort study including participants hospitalized with ALL at age 0-21 years from January 1, 2010, through March 31, 2017. A generalized mixed linear model assessed sociodemographic and clinical variables associated with receiving PT within 1 year of first hospitalization. RESULTS Among 5,488 pediatric ALL patients from 330 hospitals (median age 7 years, interquartile range = 4-14 years), only 27.2% overall and 58.9% with neuromuscular conditions received PT within a year of first ALL admission. In multivariable analysis, patients more likely to receive PT were age 10-14 years (odds ratio [OR] = 1.46; 95% CI, 1.20 to 1.76) or 15-21 years (OR = 1.66; 95% CI, 1.36 to 2.02) versus 0-4 years and Hispanic (OR = 1.27; 95% CI, 1.04 to 1.56) versus White. Patients less likely to receive PT were treated by a nonhematology/oncology pediatric (OR = 0.56; 95% CI, 0.46 to 0.70) or adult (OR = 0.50; 95% CI, 0.38 to 0.65) specialist versus a pediatric hematologist/oncologist and treated at a nonteaching hospital (OR = 0.53; 95% CI, 0.36 to 0.79) versus a teaching hospital. CONCLUSION Only 27.2% of pediatric ALL patients overall and 58.9% with neuromuscular conditions receive inpatient PT within a year of first ALL admission. Interventions to increase inpatient PT services to pediatric ALL patients and address disparities in PT utilization may improve the physical function and long-term health of survivors.

Abstract
Chemotherapy induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is an often severe and debilitating complication of multiple chemotherapeutic agents that can affect patients of all ages, across cancer diagnoses. CIPN can persist post-therapy, and significantly impact the health and quality of life of cancer survivors. Identifying patients at risk for CIPN is challenging due to the lack of standardized objective measures to assess for CIPN. Furthermore, there are no approved preventative treatments for CIPN, and therapeutic options for CIPN remain limited once it develops. Biomarkers of CIPN have been studied but are not widely used in clinical practice. They can serve as an important clinical tool to identify individuals at risk for CIPN and to better understand the pathogenesis and avenues for treatment of CIPN. Here we review promising biomarkers of CIPN in humans and their clinical implications.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), a debilitating side effect of pediatric cancer therapy, can be challenging to diagnose. We estimated the prevalence of newly identified and previously diagnosed CIPN in the regional HEROS Childhood Cancer Survivorship Clinic. From 2016 to 2018, 148 survivors (45.3% female, age 17.1 [SD 7.7] years, 81.8% in ongoing routine oncology follow-up) had their initial survivorship evaluation at an average of 7.4 (SD 6.6) years from diagnosis. Fifty-six survivors (37.8%) had CIPN, of these 46 (82.1%) were newly identified. Our findings demonstrate CIPN may be missed in routine oncology care, and new methods are needed to screen for CIPN.

Better detection of reduced motor functioning in brain tumor survivors based on objective motor assessments: an incentive for improved standardized follow-up. Eur J Pediatr 2022; 181:2731-2740. [PMID: 35476292 PMCID: PMC9192471 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-022-04472-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2021] [Revised: 03/15/2022] [Accepted: 04/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
Long-term sequelae are well-known in childhood brain tumor survivors, but motor functioning remains poorly described. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess objective motor functioning, patient-specific risk factors, and parental perceptions. Fifty-two childhood brain tumor patients (pilocytic astrocytoma, medulloblastoma, and other types) who were at least 6 months out of treatment were evaluated. Mean age at testing was 11.7 years. Objective motor functioning was assessed with the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2-NL) and/or Bruininks-Oseretsky test of motor proficiency (BOT-2). Functional walking capacity was assessed with the 6-min walk test (6MWT). Parent-reported motor functioning was addressed using the ABILHAND-Kids, ABILOCO-Kids questionnaires, and a standardized anamnesis. Patients showed impaired motor functioning in all domains (p < 0.001). Regarding risk factors, younger age at diagnosis (< 5 year) was significantly associated with lower scores on body coordination (p = 0.006). Adjuvant treatment resulted in lower scores for fine manual control of the BOT-2 (p = 0.024) and balance of MABC-2-NL (p = 0.036). Finally, questionnaires revealed an underestimation of motor problems as perceived by the parents. In conclusion, many children who are in follow-up for a brain tumor show impaired motor functioning on multiple aspects, with younger age at diagnosis and adjuvant treatment as specific risk factors. Based on the questionnaires and anamnesis, motor problems appear to be underestimated by the parents. Conclusion: These findings point to the need for timely prospective screening of motor functioning. Based on a screening assessment, adequate rehabilitation programs can be applied in childhood brain tumor survivors, aiming to reduce the adverse impact on their daily lives, both for functional activities and cardiovascular fitness. What is Known: • A pediatric brain tumor and its treatment are associated with potential long-term motor sequelae. • Test assessments could enable us to objectify motor functioning of these patients. What is New: • Pediatric brain tumors survivors show lower motor performance compared to the norm, which is often underestimated by parents. • Younger age at diagnosis and adjuvant treatment could be specific risk factors.

Abstract
Purpose Adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have impaired adaptive physical function and poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Obesity may contribute to these impairments by increasing the physiological cost of walking. Due to treatment exposures during ALL therapy, survivors' cost of walking may be more impacted by obesity than the general population. Therefore, we examined associations between obesity, persistent motor neuropathy, and energy cost of walking; and examined associations between energy cost of walking, adaptive physical function, and HRQoL, in adult survivors of childhood ALL vs. community controls. Methods Obesity was measured via body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage. The physiological cost index (PCI) was calculated from the six-minute walk test. Adaptive physical functioning was measured using two tests: the timed up and go (TUG) test and the physical performance test. Persistent motor neuropathy was measured using the modified total neuropathy score; HRQoL was measured using the Short-Form-36 questionnaire. The associations between obesity and PCI were evaluated using multivariable linear regressions in adult survivors of childhood ALL (n = 1,166) and community controls (n = 491). Then, the associations between PCI, adaptive physical functioning and peripheral neuropathy were examined using multivariable linear regressions. Finally, to determine the association between obesity, and neuropathy on PCI, while accounting for potential lifestyle and treatment confounders, a three model, sequential linear regression was used. Results Obese individuals (BMI > 40 kg/m2 and excess body fat percentage [males: >25%; females: >33%]) had higher PCI compared to those with normal BMI and body fat percentage (0.56 ± 0.01 vs. 0.49 ± 0.009 beats/meter p < .01; and 0.51 ± 0.007 vs. 0.48 ± .0006 beats/meter p < .01, respectively). Treatment exposures did not attenuate this association. Increased PCI was associated with longer TUG time in survivors, but not community controls (6.14 ± 0.02 s vs. 5.19 ± 0.03 s, p < .01). Survivors with PCI impairment >95th percentile of community controls had lower HRQoL compared to un-impaired ALL survivors: 46.9 ± 0.56 vs. 50.4 ± 1.08, respectively (p < .01). Conclusion Obesity was associated with increased PCI. Survivors with high PCI had disproportionately worse adaptive physical function and HRQoL compared to controls. Survivors with increased energy costs of walking may benefit from weight loss interventions.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Peripheral neuropathies are a prevalent, heterogeneous group of diseases of the peripheral nervous system. Symptoms are often debilitating, difficult to treat, and usually become chronic. Not only do they diminish patients' quality of life, but they can also affect medical therapy and lead to complications. To date, for most conditions there are no evidence-based causal treatment options available. Research has increased considerably since the last review in 2014 regarding the therapeutic potential of exercise interventions for patients with polyneuropathy. OBJECTIVE Our objective in this systematic review with meta-analysis was to analyze exercise interventions for neuropathic patients in order to update a systematic review from 2014 and to evaluate the potential benefits of exercise on neuropathies of different origin that can then be translated into practice. METHODS Two independent reviewers performed a systematic review with meta-analysis according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Inclusion criteria according to the PICOS approach were: neuropathic patients, exercise interventions only, an inactive or non-exercising control group, and solely randomized controlled trials with the following outcome parameters: neuropathic symptoms, balance parameters, functional mobility, gait, health-related quality of life, and HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin). RESULTS A total of 41 randomized, controlled trials met all inclusion criteria, 20 of which could be included in the quantitative analysis. Study quality varied from moderate to high. Current data further support the hypothesis that exercise is beneficial for neuropathic patients. This is best documented for patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) (27 studies) as well as for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) (nine studies), while there are only few studies (five) on all other causes of neuropathy. We found standardized mean differences in favor of the exercise group of 0.27-2.00 for static balance, Berg Balance Scale, Timed-up-and-go-test, nerve conduction velocity of peroneal and sural nerve as well as for HbA1c in patients with DPN, and standardized mean differences of 0.43-0.75 for static balance, quality of life, and neuropathy-induced symptoms in patients with CIPN. CONCLUSION For DPN, evidence-based recommendations can now be made, suggesting a combination of endurance and sensorimotor training to be most beneficial. For patients with CIPN, sensorimotor training remains the most crucial component. For all other neuropathies, more high-quality research is needed to derive evidence-based recommendations. Overall, it seems that sensorimotor training has great potential to target most neuropathies and combined with endurance training is therefore currently the best treatment option for neuropathies.

Abstract
Survival rates of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) have improved greatly due to advanced therapies and supportive care. Intrathecal chemotherapy replaced cranial radiation due to radiation-induced neurotoxicity and late-effects. Survivors treated with chemotherapy-only experience neurologic and cognitive problems following cessation of treatment. Very long-term cognitive outcomes remain unclear. Animal models are being generated to assess late-effects of chemotherapy on cognitive function. Although, few address juvenile models of chemotherapy-induced cognitive impairment (CICI) and developing brain, results of this review outline neurocognitive effects of chemotherapy consistent with childhood ALL therapy. Studies demonstrate deficits across cognitive domains including spatial memory, executive function, short-term memory, anxiety and depression. Inflammation, oxidative stress, excitotoxity, and other metabolic disruptions may lead to neurodegeneration associated with cognitive impairment observed in ALL survivors. Interventions directly targeting these mechanisms may prevent and/or promote recovery of cognitive function and improve long-term outcomes. Evidence suggests success of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant treatments in reducing cognitive decline. Animal models provide basis for assessing effects of chemotherapy on neurologic processes to guide future clinical investigations.

Abstract
Peripheral neuropathy is a well described complication in children with cancer. Oncologists are generally well aware of the toxicity of the main agents, but fear the side effects of new drugs. As chemotherapeutic agents have been correlated with the activation of the immune system such as in Chemotherapy Induced Peripheral Neuropathy (CIPN), an abnormal response can lead to Autoimmune Peripheral Neuropathy (APN). Although less frequent but more severe, Radiation Induced Peripheral Neuropathy may be related to irreversible peripheral nervous system (PNS). Pediatric cancer patients also have a higher risk of entering a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for complications related to therapy and disease. Injury to peripheral nerves is cumulative, and frequently, the additional stress of a malignancy and its therapy can unmask a subclinical neuropathy. Emerging risk factors for CIPN include treatment factors such as dose, duration and concurrent medication along with patient factors, namely age and inherited susceptibilities. The recent identification of individual genetic variations has advanced the understanding of physiopathological mechanisms and may direct future treatment approaches. More research is needed on pharmacological agents for the prevention or treatment of the condition as well as rehabilitation interventions, in order to allow for the simultaneous delivery of optimal cancer therapy and the mitigation of toxicity associated with pain and functional impairment. The aim of this paper is to review literature data regarding PNS complications in non-primary pediatric cancer.

Abstract
This systematic review provides a high-quality synthesis of the empirical evidence regarding chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) characteristics and patterns described in studies of children who received neurotoxic chemotherapy to treat cancer. PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Embase were searched for articles published 2009 - 2019, yielding 861. Forty-two papers met the eligibility criteria, including 31 that described characteristics and patterns of vincristine-induced CIPN. Fifty-seven percent of articles were of low to moderate quality; measurement flaws were the most common limitations. The reported CIPN incidence varies widely (2.8%-100%) depending on risk factors (e.g., race) and the measurement approach. Incidence rates of sensory, motor, autonomic CIPN, and pain were 12-28%, 50-72%, 0.8-83% and 5.7-44%, respectively. The evidence suggests that sensory and motor neuropathy, pain, and functional deficits are common and can persist into adulthood. Caucasian race is a risk factor and, contrary to prior thinking, cumulative chemotherapy dosage alone does not predict CIPN severity. The influence of other risk factors is less clear, and studies to date have not explored potential interactions among race, genetics, age, sex, drug metabolism, and nutritional status, among other factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children treated for cancer are at risk for neuromuscular dysfunction, but data are limited regarding prevalence, longitudinal patterns, and long-term impact. METHODS Longitudinal surveys from 25,583 childhood cancer survivors ≥5 years from diagnosis and 5,044 siblings from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study were used to estimate the prevalence and cumulative incidence of neuromuscular dysfunction. Multivariable models adjusted for age, sex, race, and ethnicity estimated prevalence ratios (PR) of neuromuscular dysfunction in survivors compared with siblings, and associations with treatments and late health/socioeconomic outcomes. RESULTS Prevalence of neuromuscular dysfunction was 14.7% in survivors 5 years postdiagnosis versus 1.5% in siblings [PR, 9.9; 95% confidence interval (CI), 7.9-12.4], and highest in survivors of central nervous system (CNS) tumors (PR, 27.6; 95% CI, 22.1-34.6) and sarcomas (PR, 11.5; 95% CI, 9.1-14.5). Cumulative incidence rose to 24.3% in survivors 20 years postdiagnosis (95% CI, 23.8-24.8). Spinal radiotherapy and increasing cranial radiotherapy dose were associated with increased prevalence of neuromuscular dysfunction. Platinum exposure (vs. none) was associated with neuromuscular dysfunction (PR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.5-2.1), even after excluding survivors with CNS tumors, cranial/spinal radiotherapy, or amputation. Neuromuscular dysfunction was associated with concurrent or later obesity (PR, 1.1; 95% CI, 1.1-1.2), anxiety (PR, 2.5; 95% CI, 2.2-2.9), depression (PR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.9-2.3), and lower likelihood of graduating college (PR, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.90-0.94) and employment (PR, 0.8; 95% CI, 0.8-0.9). CONCLUSIONS Neuromuscular dysfunction is prevalent in childhood cancer survivors, continues to increase posttherapy, and is associated with adverse health and socioeconomic outcomes. IMPACT Interventions are needed to prevent and treat neuromuscular dysfunction, especially in survivors with platinum and radiation exposure.

Prospective Evaluation of Health Care Provider and Patient Assessments in Chemotherapy-Induced Peripheral Neurotoxicity. Neurology 2021; 97:e660-e672. [PMID: 34078718 PMCID: PMC10365895 DOI: 10.1212/wnl.0000000000012300] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2020] [Accepted: 05/07/2021] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE There is no agreement on the gold standard for detection and grading of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) in clinical trials. The objective is to perform an observational prospective study to assess and compare patient-based and physician-based methods for detection and grading of CIPN. METHODS Consecutive patients, aged 18 years or older, candidates for neurotoxic chemotherapy, were enrolled in the United States, European Union, or Australia. A trained investigator performed physician-based scales (Total Neuropathy Score-clinical [TNSc], used to calculate Total Neuropathy Score-nurse [TNSn]) and supervised the patient-completed questionnaire (Functional Assessment of Cancer Treatment/Gynecologic Oncology Group-Neurotoxicity [FACT/GOG-NTX]). Evaluations were performed before and at the end of chemotherapy. On participants without neuropathy at baseline, we assessed the association between TNSc, TNSn, and FACT/GOG-NTX. Considering a previously established minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for FACT/GOG-NTX, we identified participants with and without a clinically important deterioration according to this scale. Then, we calculated the MCID for TNSc and TNSn as the difference in the mean change score of these scales between the 2 groups. RESULTS Data from 254 participants were available: 180 (71%) had normal neurologic status at baseline. At the end of the study, 88% of participants developed any grade of neuropathy. TNSc, TNSn, and FACT/GOG-NTX showed good responsiveness (standardized mean change from baseline to end of chemotherapy >1 for all scales). On the 153 participants without neuropathy at baseline and treated with a known neurotoxic chemotherapy regimen, we verified a moderate correlation in both TNSc and TNSn scores with FACT/GOG-NTX (Spearman correlation index r = 0.6). On the same sample, considering as clinically important a change in the FACT/GOG-NTX score of at least 3.3 points, the MCID was 3.7 for TNSc and 2.8 for the TNSn. CONCLUSIONS MCID for TNSc and TNSn were calculated and the TNSn can be considered a reliable alternative objective clinical assessment if a more extended neurologic examination is not possible. The FACT/GOG-NTX score can be reduced to 7 items and these items correlate well with the TNSc and TNSn. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE This study provides Class III evidence that a patient-completed questionnaire and nurse-assessed scale correlate with a physician-assessed scale.

Identification of small molecules that mitigate vincristine-induced neurotoxicity while sensitizing leukemia cells to vincristine. Clin Transl Sci 2021; 14:1490-1504.

Abstract
Vincristine (VCR) is one of the most widely prescribed medications for treating solid tumors and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children and adults. However, its major dose-limiting toxicity is peripheral neuropathy that can disrupt curative therapy. Peripheral neuropathy can also persist into adulthood, compromising quality of life of childhood cancer survivors. Reducing VCR-induced neurotoxicity without compromising its anticancer effects would be ideal. Here, we show that low expression of NHP2L1 is associated with increased sensitivity of primary leukemia cells to VCR, and that concomitant administration of VCR with inhibitors of NHP2L1 increases VCR cytotoxicity in leukemia cells, prolongs survival of ALL xenograft mice, but decreases VCR effects on human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neurons and mitigates neurotoxicity in mice. These findings offer a strategy for increasing VCR's antileukemic effects while reducing peripheral neuropathy in patients treated with this widely prescribed medication.

Abstract
Pediatric neuropathy attributed to metabolic dysfunction is a well-known complication in children and youth with type 1 diabetes. Moreover, the rise of obesity and in particular of type 2 diabetes may cause an uptick in pediatric neuropathy incidence. However, despite the anticipated increase in neuropathy incidence, pathogenic insights and strategies to prevent or manage neuropathy in the setting of diabetes and obesity in children and youth remain unknown. Data from adult studies and available youth cohort studies are providing an initial understanding of potential diagnostic, management, and preventative measures in early life. This review discusses the current state of knowledge emanating from these efforts, with particular emphasis on the prevalence, clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches and considerations, and risk factors of neuropathy in type 1 and type 2 diabetes in children and youth. Also highlighted are current management strategies and recommendations for neuropathy in children and youth with diabetes. This knowledge, along with continued and sustained emphasis on identifying and eliminating modifiable risk factors, completing randomized controlled trials to assess effectiveness of strategies like weight loss and exercise, and enhancing awareness to support early detection and prevention, are pertinent to addressing the rising incidence of neuropathy associated with diabetes and obesity in children and youth.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study compared working cancer survivors' self-rated health status (SRHS), physical functional capacity, depressive symptoms, and happiness to those of cancer-free workers. METHODS A nationwide general population-based cross-sectional study on a sample of Japanese was conducted. Prevalence of deteriorated SRHS, restricted physical functional capacity, depressive symptoms, and perceived happiness were compared between working cancer survivors and cancer-free workers with multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for age and sociodemographic and health-related backgrounds. RESULTS Of the 28,311 male and 26,068 female workers, 977 (3.5%) and 1267 (4.9%) were cancer survivors, respectively. Working cancer survivors reported deteriorated SRHS more frequently than cancer-free workers: 21.3% vs. 13.8%, multivariable-adjusted odds ratio (95% confidence interval), 1.64 (1.39-1.95) for men, 23.8% vs. 17.5%, 1.34 (1.16-1.54) for women. Restricted physical functional capacity was reported more frequently in working cancer survivors than cancer-free workers: 6.8% vs. 2.6%, 1.76 (1.34-2.32) for men, 4.9% vs. 2.0%, 2.06 (1.56-2.71) for women. No significant difference was found for depressive symptoms: 21.6% vs. 22.9% in men, 30.0% vs. 28.5% in women. Working cancer survivors felt happiness more frequently than cancer-free survivors in men (77.3% vs. 71.7%, 1.21 (1.01-1.45)) but not in women (76.1% vs. 74.9%). CONCLUSIONS Working cancer survivors had worse SRHS and more restricted physical functional capacity than cancer-free workers. In men, working cancer survivors felt happiness more frequently than cancer-free workers. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS Continuous support to improve cancer survivors' SRHS and physical functional capacity would be necessary even while they are working.

Abstract
Children with cancer are dealing with different side and long-term effects caused by cancer and its treatments, like vinca-alkaloids, which may have negative effects on motor performance. However, the affected areas of motor performance (aiming and catching, balance, manual dexterity) and the differences in these areas between boys and girls and diagnoses are not frequently reported in a longitudinal design. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate how motor performance changes over the course of cancer treatment. The study was conducted with 3-to 16-year-old children with cancer (N = 36) in 2013-2017. The five assessment points were 0, 2, 6, 12 and 30 months from diagnosis. Movement-ABC2 was used to assess motor performance. We found that aiming and catching skills decreased significantly during the follow-up (p < 0.05). Balance was affected at the 2-month measurement point (p < 0.05) and more in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia than in children with other cancer diagnoses (p < 0.05). Girls performed better than boys in manual dexterity at 6, 12 and 30 months (p < 0.05, p < 0.05, p < 0.05, respectively). Individual monitoring of motor performance with standardized tests and physical activity/exercise programs during and after treatment are needed.

Abstract
Introduction: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer with one of the highest survival rates. Long-term complications that occur after intensive oncological treatment often impair normal daily functioning. However, existing data on peripheral nervous system condition in ALL survivors remain conflicting. Materials and Methods: The study group consisted of 215 ALL survivors. Patients were treated with New York (NY, n = 45), previous modified Berlin-Frankfurt-Münster (pBFM, n = 64), and BFM95 (n = 106) protocols. Time elapsed between the end of the treatment and the control examination varied from 0.3 to 20.9 years. The analyzed patients underwent a neurophysiological analysis with electroneurography (ENG) of motor (median and peroneal) and sensory (median and sural) nerves as well as electromyography (EMG) of tibialis anterior, vastus lateralis, and interosseous I muscles. To estimate the influence of radiotherapy on recorded neurophysiological responses, a joint analysis of NY, and pBFM groups was performed. Results: Clinical symptoms of polyneuropathy were noted among 102 (47.4%) children during the ALL therapy and in 111 (51.6%) during follow-up. At the time of treatment, polyneuropathy was diagnosed in 57.8% participants from NY group, 35.9%-pBFM and 50.0%-BFM95 (p = 0.145). A significantly higher incidence of polyneuropathy was observed during a follow-up in the NY group (68.9%; p < 0.001 vs. pBFM, p = 0.002 vs. BFM95). The most frequent abnormality within all the protocols was demyelination (NY: 44.4%, pBFM: 59.4%, BFM95: 41.5%), in contrast to the least frequently registered isolated axonal changes. The negative influence of oncological treatment on neurophysiological parameters in ALL survivors was observed. Complex disorders of motor nerves, sensory nerves, and motor unit potentials were registered. Motor-sensory neuropathy was the most frequently found pathology in all analyzed protocols. The harmful effect of radiotherapy was also observed in EMG results. Conclusions: Detailed neurophysiological analysis in long-term childhood ALL survivors has shown generalized abnormalities in registered parameters. To our knowledge, the current study is the largest and one of the most comprehensive ones among those examining disturbances in ENG and EMG in this group of patients. Moreover, we are the first ones to demonstrate the negative influence of radiotherapy on peripheral nerve conduction parameters.

Abstract
Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neurotoxicity (CIPN) is a potentially dose-limiting side effect of several commonly used cytotoxic chemotherapy agents. The main pharmacological classes that may cause CIPN include classical anticancer drugs, as well as the recently introduced immune checkpoint inhibitors and antibody drug conjugates. The absence of a complete knowledge of CIPN pathophysiology is only one of the several unsolved issues related to CIPN. Among some of the most relevant aspects of CIPN deserving further attention include the real number of patients exposed to the risk of CIPN, the long-term impact on cancer survivors' quality of life due to incomplete recovery from CIPN, the economic burden related to acute and chronic CIPN, and the different perspective and education of the healthcare specialists in charge of managing patients with CIPN. Overall, CIPN remains a very challenging area of research as there are still several unresolved issues to be addressed in the future. In this special issue, the multifaceted profile of CIPN will be presented, with particular emphasis on bolstering the need to develop more optimized outcome measures than the existing ones to accurately evaluate the extent of CIPN, but also to ascertain the differences in the incidence, risk factors, clinical phenotype, and management of CIPN, according to the most commonly used neurotoxic chemotherapy classes. Perspectives for future research to pursue in order to cover the gaps in knowledge in the CIPN field will also be discussed.

Abstract
This review is an overview of systemic conditions that can be associated with peripheral nervous system dysfunction. Children may present with neuropathic symptoms for which, unless considered, a causative systemic condition may not be recognized. Similarly, some systemic conditions may be complicated by comorbid peripheral neuropathies, surveillance for which is indicated. The systemic conditions addressed in this review are critical illness polyneuropathy, chronic renal failure, endocrine disorders such as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2b, vitamin deficiency states, malignancies and reticuloses, sickle cell disease, neurofibromatosis, connective tissue disorders, bowel dysmotility and enteropathy, and sarcoidosis. In some disorders presymptomatic screening should be undertaken, while in others there is no benefit from early detection of neuropathy. In children with idiopathic peripheral neuropathies, systemic disorders such as celiac disease should be actively excluded. While management is predominantly focused on symptomatic care through pain control and rehabilitation, some neuropathies improve with effective control of the underlying etiology and in a small proportion a more targeted approach is possible. In conclusion, peripheral neuropathies can be associated with a diverse range of medical conditions and unless actively considered may not be recognized and inadequately managed.

Abstract
Over the last decades, the overall survival rate for childhood cancer has increased from 20% to 80%, which is the result of advances in treatment. Nevertheless, most data from the international registers of childhood cancer survivors (CCS) stress that this population of patients is at high risk for late sequelae and their biological aging starts earlier in life. Anticancer therapy (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, immunotherapy) affects the intracellular processes leading to the chronic deterioration of organ function and premature senescence. The present review focuses on the late effects of anticancer treatment on various human organs that may lead to premature aging.
