Abstract
OBJECTIVES Physical activity (PA) may modify risks of late effects after cancer. We aimed to examine levels of PA and sedentary time (ST) in a large, international sample of adolescent childhood cancer survivors in relation to sociodemographic and cancer-related factors and compare levels of PA and ST to reference cohorts. METHODS Survivors from any cancer diagnosis who had completed cancer treatment ≥1 year ago, aged 9 to 16 years, were eligible for the multicenter Physical Activity in Childhood Cancer Survivors study. PA and ST were measured by ActiGraph GT3X+ accelerometers. We performed linear regression analyses to assess factors associated with moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) and ST, and compared marginal means of total PA, MVPA, and ST in 432 survivors to sex- and age-stratified references (2-year intervals) using immediate t-tests for aggregated data. RESULTS Among survivors, 34% fulfilled the World Health Organization's PA recommendation of ≥60 min of daily MVPA on average and their ST was 8.7 hours per day. Being female, older, overweight, a survivor of central nervous system tumor, or having experienced relapse were associated with lower MVPA and/or higher ST. Generally, male survivors spent less time in MVPA compared with references, whereas female survivors had similar levels. Both male and female survivors had higher ST than references in nearly all age groups. CONCLUSIONS The low PA and high ST in this large sample of adolescent childhood cancer survivors is worrisome. Combined, our results call for targeted interventions addressing both PA and ST in follow-up care after childhood cancer.

Abstract
Cancer survivors show increased risk for non-communicable diseases and chronic low-grade inflammation characterizes the development of such diseases. We investigated inflammatory plasma protein profiles of survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in comparison to healthy controls and after an intervention with a home-based exercise program. Survivors of childhood ALL aged 16-30 years (n = 21) with a median age at diagnosis 4.9 (1.6-12.9) years and a median time of 15.9 years from diagnosis, and sex- and age-matched healthy controls (n = 21) were studied. Stored plasma samples were analyzed with Olink's 92-protein-wide Inflammation panel in 21 ALL long-term survivors at baseline, after a previous 16-week home-based exercise intervention (n = 17) and in 21 age- and sex-matched controls at baseline. Protein expression levels were compared between the groups. Inflammatory protein levels did not differ between the survivors and controls at baseline. Significantly reduced levels after the intervention were found in 11 proteins related to either vascular inflammation, insulin resistance, or both: tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 14 (TNFSF14), oncostatin M (OSM), monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), MCP-2, fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21), chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 4 (CCL4), transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-α), tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand 10 (TRAIL), adenosine deaminase (ADA), chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 6 (CXCL6), and latency-associated peptide transforming growth factor beta 1 (LAP TGF-β1). The ALL survivors were not significantly more affected by inflammation than controls at baseline. The survivors' 16-week exercise intervention led to significant reduction in inflammatory protein levels. Physical exercise should be promoted for survivors of childhood cancer.

Abstract
Cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPET) focusing on analyses of heart rate (HR) responses and chronotropic incompetence (CI) could provide early information about treatment's negative cardiac effects. We examined childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors' HR response during maximal CPET and identified survivors with CI. A total of 250 childhood ALL survivors underwent a CPET on ergocycle to assess their HR response. We used a multiparametric structure of three methods to assess survivors' CI, as follows: 1) age-predicted HRmax (APMHR): failure to achieve 85% of the APMHR at the peak of CPET; 2) HR reserve (HRR): failure to achieve 80% of the HRR at the peak of CPET; and 3) metabolic chronotropic relationship (MCR): failure to reach an MCR slope ratio >0.8 at each stage of the CPET. Among 250 childhood ALL survivors, 216 survivors performed a maximum CPET. We observed that 73 males and 74 females did not achieve their predicted HRmax. We found that 6 survivors did not achieve 85% of their APMHR (80.9 ± 3.9%) and had an MCR below 80% (53.9 ± 13.8%). In addition, 16 survivors did not achieve 80% of their HRR (71.0 ± 7.4%) and among them, 15 survivors had an MCR below 80% (61.0 ± 12.1%). Survivors with CI had a significantly lower cardiorespiratory fitness than those without CI. This study shows that survivors are at risk of developing altered HR responses and CI many years after the end of their cancer treatments. These findings highlight the importance of early detection of cardiac damage due to cancer treatments.

Abstract
Purpose: To assess subclinical markers of endothelial inflammation in young survivors from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with chemotherapy without cranial irradiation. Methods: Anthropometric parameters [height (H), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), WC/H, and WC/HC ratio], blood pressure, lipid profile, serum markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction [Interleukin 6 (IL-6), vascular cell adhesion molecule, intercellular adhesion molecule, tumor necrosis factor-alfa (TNF-α), Endogenous secretory Receptor for Advanced Glycation Endproducts (Es-RAGE)], and carotid intima-media thickness (c-IMT) were assessed in a group of young ALL survivors and in matched controls. Local Ethics Committee approved the study (code 56/13) on June 24, 2013. Results: 28 ALL survivors (71% male, 18% prepubertal, aged 15.98 ± 4.41 years, mean follow-up 8.57 ± 3.14 years) exhibited lower levels of Es-RAGE than controls (0.18 ± 0.07 vs. 0.27 ± 0.08 ng/mL, p < 0.001). Among survivors, Es-RAGE values significantly correlated with BMI-SD off-therapy (R2 -0.42), WC/H ratio (R2 -0.41), WC/HC ratio (R2 -0.38), and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C; R2 -0.43). Most of the ALL survivors (78%) presented c-IMT above the 95th centile if compared with gender and age standard. Mean c-IMT value correlated with blood pressure (R2 0.56) and with LDL-C levels (R2 0.56). Metabolic syndrome (MetS) was fully detected only in one ALL survivor. Nevertheless, 18% ALL survivors presented more than one MetS diagnostic criteria: 14% insulin resistance, 25% dyslipidemia, and 17.8% hypertension. Conclusion: We demonstrated an initial functional vascular alteration in young ALL survivors even when treated with standard risk protocols. Our data already support the activation at endothelial level of glycosylation and oxidation processes that are persistent long after the end of the treatment.

Children's physical activity behavior following a supervised physical activity program in pediatric oncology. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2020; 146:3037-3048.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The theory of planned behavior (TPB) model and its components have been applied to comprehend the adoption of physical activity along with informational and motivational parameters. Thus, the first aim of this exploratory study was to explore the evolution of children's physical activity levels over a supervised physical activity program. The second aim was to describe the evolution of TPB measures, self-reported fitness and self-esteem in the physical domain to better understand children's physical activity behavior over the course of the physical activity program. METHODS A total of 16 children (8 boys and 8 girls) with cancer answered psychosocial questionnaires before and after a supervised physical activity program to explore the TPB measures, self-reported fitness, self-esteem in the physical domain and their daily physical activities. RESULTS A significant increase of 13.8 min/day [95% CI (16.7; 10.8); p < 0.0001; d = 1.4] of daily MVLPA was observed between the time before (9.3 ± 9.1 min/day) and after (23.1 ± 10.8 min/day) the physical activity program. We found that the physical activity program positively impacted children's TPB measures (mean in attitude, identity, facilitating factors, self-confidence and intention) and MVLPA levels. The TPB model explained 36.2% of the variance in MVLPA by injunctive norms after the physical activity program. CONCLUSION This study highlighted the need to provide children with physical activity support as soon as the cancer is diagnosed and showed that children's physical activity behaviors were facilitated by familial support measured by injunctive norms.
