Feasibility and potential effectiveness of nurse-led video-coaching interventions for childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors: the REVIVER study. BMC Cancer 2024; 24:722. [PMID: 38862904 PMCID: PMC11167751 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-024-12430-3] [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: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2024] [Indexed: 06/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer survivors, at risk for late effects, including cancer-related fatigue, cardiovascular issues, and psychosocial challenges, may benefit from interventions stimulating behaviour adjustments. Three nurse-led eHealth interventions (REVIVER) delivered via video calls and elaborating on person-centred care, cognitive behaviour therapy and/or motivational interviewing were developed. These interventions target: 1) fatigue management, 2) healthier lifestyle behaviours, and 3) self-efficacy and self-management. This study aimed to assess the feasibility and potential effectiveness of the REVIVER interventions for CAYA cancer survivors and healthcare professionals. METHODS In a single-group mixed methods design, CAYA cancer survivors aged 16-54, more than five years post-treatment, were enrolled. Feasibility, assessed via Bowen's outcomes for feasibility studies, included acceptability, practicality, integration and implementation, demand and adherence. Qualitative data from semi-structured interviews and a focus group interview with survivors and healthcare professionals supplemented the evaluation. Paired sample t-tests assessed changes in self-reported quality of life, fatigue, lifestyle, self-management, and self-efficacy at baseline (T0), post-intervention (T1), and 6-month follow-up (T2). RESULTS The interventions and video consults were generally acceptable, practical, and successfully integrated and implemented. Success factors included the nurse consultant (i.e., communication, approach, and attitude) and the personalised approach. Barriers included sustainability concerns, technical issues, and short intervention duration. Regarding demand, 71.4%, 65.4%, and 100% of eligible CAYA cancer survivors engaged in the fatigue (N = 15), lifestyle (N = 17) and empowerment (N = 3) intervention, respectively, with 5, 5 and 2 participants interviewed, correspondingly. Low interest (demand) in the empowerment intervention (N = 3) and dropout rates of one-third for both fatigue and empowerment interventions were noted (adherence). Improvements in quality of life, fatigue (fatigue intervention), lifestyle (lifestyle intervention), self-efficacy, and self-management were evident among survivors who completed the fatigue and lifestyle interventions, with medium and large effect sizes observed immediately after the intervention and six months post-intervention. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates the feasibility of nurse-led video coaching (REVIVER interventions) despite lower demand for the empowerment intervention and lower adherence to the fatigue and empowerment interventions. The medium and high effect sizes found for those who completed the interventions hold potential clinical significance for future studies investigating the effectiveness of the REVIVER interventions.

Abstract
Purpose: Childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer survivors (age 0-39 years at diagnosis) are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Family history of early heart disease increases the risk of CVD in the general population; however, it is unknown whether this association is seen in CAYA cancer survivors. Methods: Self-report data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2005-2018) were used to identify CAYA survivors (>5 years post-diagnosis). The risk of CVD based on family history status (parent or sibling with a diagnosis of heart attack or angina before age 50 years), personal sociodemographic factors, personal medical history factors, and personal behavioral risk factors was determined using logistic regression models. Results: Included were 95 CAYA survivors with CVD and 491 CAYA survivors without CVD. The odds of CVD were significantly higher in survivors with a first-degree family history of early heart disease (odds ratio [OR]: 2.06, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14-3.74). A history of diabetes (OR: 2.61, 95% CI: 1.41-4.84), hypertension (OR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.04-3.16), and any smoking (OR: 2.19, 95% CI: 1.19-4.02) was also associated with higher odds of CVD in CAYA survivors. Reporting any physical activity in the past month was associated with lower odds (OR: 0.54, 95% CI: 0.30-0.97) of CVD. Conclusions: Family history of early heart disease was associated with increased odds of CVD in CAYA cancer survivors. Obtaining complete and accurate family history information is important both at time of diagnosis and throughout follow-up.

Abstract
Background and Aims Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) later in life potentiate risk for late cardiovascular disease (CVD) from cardiotoxic treatment among survivors. This study evaluated the association of baseline CVRFs and CVD in the early survivorship period. Methods This analysis included patients ages 0-29 at initial diagnosis and reported in the institutional cancer registry between 2010 and 2017 (n = 1228). Patients who died within five years (n = 168), those not seen in the oncology clinic (n = 312), and those with CVD within one year of diagnosis (n = 17) were excluded. CVRFs (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity) within one year of initial diagnosis, were constructed and extracted from the electronic health record based on discrete observations, ICD9/10 codes, and RxNorm codes for antihypertensives. Results Among survivors (n = 731), 10 incident cases (1.4%) of CVD were observed between one year and five years after the initial diagnosis. Public health insurance (p = 0.04) and late effects risk strata (p = 0.01) were positively associated with CVD. Among survivors with public insurance(n = 495), two additional cases of CVD were identified from claims data with an incidence of 2.4%. Survivors from rural areas had a 4.1 times greater risk of CVD compared with survivors from urban areas (95% CI: 1.1-15.3), despite adjustment for late effects risk strata. Conclusions Clinically computable phenotypes for CVRFs among survivors through informatics methods were feasible. Although CVRFs were not associated with CVD in the early survivorship period, survivors from rural areas were more likely to develop CVD. Implications for Survivors Survivors from non-urban areas and those with public insurance may be particularly vulnerable to CVD.

Abstract
Anthracyclines are effective chemotherapeutics used in approximately 60% of pediatric cancer cases but have a well-documented risk of cardiotoxicity. Existing cardiotoxicity risk calculators do not include cardiovascular risk factors present at the time of diagnosis. The goal of this study is to leverage the advanced sensitivity of strain echocardiography to identify pre-existing risk factors for early subclinical cardiac dysfunction among anthracycline-exposed pediatric patients. We identified 115 pediatric patients with cancer who were treated with an anthracycline between 2013 and 2019. Peak longitudinal left ventricular strain was retroactively calculated on 495 surveillance echocardiograms via the TOMTEC AutoSTRAIN software. Cox proportional hazards models were employed to identify risk factors for abnormal longitudinal strain (> - 16%) following anthracycline treatment. High anthracycline dose (≥ 250 mg/m2 doxorubicin equivalents) and obesity at the time of diagnosis (BMI > 95th percentile-for-age) were both significant predictors of abnormal strain with hazard ratios of 2.79, 95% CI (1.07-7.25), and 3.85, 95% CI (1.42-10.48), respectively. Among pediatric cancer survivors, patients who are obese at the time of diagnosis are at an increased risk of sub-clinical cardiac dysfunction following anthracycline exposure. Future studies should explore the incidence of symptomatic cardiomyopathy 10-15 years post-treatment among patients with early subclinical cardiac dysfunction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood cancer survivors have increased risk of dyslipidemia and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and associated cardiovascular risks of specific lipid abnormalities among childhood cancer survivors. METHODS Comprehensive lipid panel measurements were obtained from 4115 5-year survivors, with 3406 (mean age at evaluation = 35.2 years, SD = 10.4 years) not having previous dyslipidemia diagnosis, as well as 624 age, sex, and race and ethnicity matched community controls. RESULTS Previously undiagnosed dyslipidemia with abnormal low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (>160 mg/dL), non-high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (>190 mg/dL), HDL cholesterol (<40 mg/dL for men, <50 mg/dL for women), and triglycerides (>150 mg/dL) were identified in 4%, 6%, 30%, and 17%, respectively. Survivors without previous dyslipidemia diagnosis had higher LDL cholesterol and non-HDL cholesterol and lower HDL cholesterol than community controls. Cranial radiotherapy (relative risk [RR] = 2.2, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.6 to 3.0 for non-HDL cholesterol) and total body irradiation for hematopoietic cell transplantation (RR = 6.7, 95% CI = 3.5 to 13.0 for non-HDL cholesterol; RR = 9.9, 95% CI = 6.0 to 16.3 for triglycerides) were associated with greater risk of dyslipidemia. Diagnoses of low HDL cholesterol (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.9, 95% CI = 1.8 to 4.7) and elevated triglycerides (HR = 3.1, 95% CI = 1.9 to 5.1) were associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction, and diagnoses of high LDL cholesterol (HR = 2.2, 95% CI = 1.3 to 3.7), high non-HDL cholesterol (HR = 2.2, 95% CI = 1.3 to 3.7), low HDL cholesterol (HR = 3.9, 95% CI = 2.8 to 5.4), and elevated triglycerides (HR = 3.8, 95% CI = 2.7 to 5.5) were associated with increased risk for cardiomyopathy. CONCLUSIONS Previously undiagnosed dyslipidemia among childhood cancer survivors was associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction and cardiomyopathy. Comprehensive dyslipidemia evaluation and treatment are needed to reduce cardiovascular morbidity in this population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Proteomics may help discover novel biomarkers and underlying mechanisms for cardiovascular disease. This could be useful for childhood cancer survivors as they show an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to investigate circulating cardiovascular proteins in young adult survivors of childhood cancer and their relationship to previously reported subclinical cardiovascular disease. METHODS Ninety-two cardiovascular proteins were measured in 57 childhood cancer survivors and in 52 controls. For proteins that were significantly different between childhood cancer survivors and controls, we performed correlations between protein levels and measures of peripheral arterial stiffness (carotid distensibility and stiffness index, and augmentation index) and endothelial dysfunction (reactive hyperemia index). RESULTS Leptin was significantly higher in childhood cancer survivors compared to controls (normalized protein expression units: childhood cancer survivors 6.4 (1.5) versus 5.1 (1.7), p < 0.0000001) after taking multiple tests into account. Kidney injury molecule-1, MER proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase, selectin P ligand, decorin, alpha-1-microglobulin/bikunin precursor protein, and pentraxin 3 showed a trend towards group differences (p < 0.05). Among childhood cancer survivors, leptin was associated with anthracycline treatment after adjustment for age, sex, and body mass index (p < 0.0001). Higher leptin correlated with lower carotid distensibility after adjustment for age, sex, body mass index, and treatments with radiotherapy and anthracyclines (p = 0.005). CONCLUSION This proteomics approach identified that leptin is higher in young asymptomatic adult survivors of childhood cancer than in healthy controls and is associated with adverse vascular changes. This could indicate a role for leptin in driving the cardiovascular disease burden in this population.

Abstract
The growing community of childhood cancer survivors faces a heavy burden of late onset morbidities and mortality, with cardiovascular diseases being the leading noncancer cause. In addition to demographics and cancer treatment exposures, which cannot be altered, cardiometabolic risk factors (obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia) and frailty potentiate the risk of morbidity and mortality associated with chronic health conditions. Important opportunities exist to target these risk factors and improve late health outcomes for survivors. Unfortunately, limited evidence exists on the optimal methods to prevent, screen, and treat cardiometabolic risk factors among survivors, resulting in significant underdiagnosis and undertreatment. In this review, we discuss the prevalence of, risk factors for, current survivor-specific recommendations, and gaps in knowledge to mitigate potentially modifiable cardiometabolic risk factors and frailty among survivors of childhood cancer.

Abstract
As cancer therapies increase in effectiveness and patients' life expectancies improve, balancing oncologic efficacy while reducing acute and long-term cardiovascular toxicities has become of paramount importance. To address this pressing need, the Cardiology Oncology Innovation Network (COIN) was formed to bring together domain experts with the overarching goal of collaboratively investigating, applying, and educating widely on various forms of innovation to improve the quality of life and cardiovascular healthcare of patients undergoing and surviving cancer therapies. The COIN mission pillars of innovation, collaboration, and education have been implemented with cross-collaboration among academic institutions, private and public establishments, and industry and technology companies. In this report, we summarize proceedings from the first two annual COIN summits (inaugural in 2020 and subsequent in 2021) including educational sessions on technological innovations for establishing best practices and aligning resources.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Although cancer remains the leading nonaccidental cause of mortality in children, substantial advances in care have led to 5-year overall survival exceeding 85%. However, improvements in outcomes have not been uniform across malignancies or strata of social determinants of health. The current review highlights recent areas of advancement and anticipated directions for future progress. RECENT FINDINGS Incorporation of rational targeted agents into upfront treatment regimens has led to incremental improvements in event-free survival for many children, sometimes with potential reductions in late effects. For rare or challenging-to-treat cancers, the increasing feasibility of molecular profiling has provided specific treatment options to patients with some of the greatest needs. Simultaneously, increased focus is being given to patient-reported outcomes and social determinants of health, the importance ofwhich are becoming readily recognized in providing equitable, quality care. Finally, as survival from malignant diseases improves, breakthroughs in the prevention and management of adverse late effects will promote long-term quality of life. SUMMARY Multi-institutional collaboration and risk-adapted approaches have been crucial to recent advancements in the care of children with cancer and inform potential directions for future investigation.

Increased Cardiac Risk After a Second Malignant Neoplasm Among Childhood Cancer Survivors: A FCCSS Study. JACC CardioOncol 2023; 5:792-803. [PMID: 38205003 PMCID: PMC10774765 DOI: 10.1016/j.jaccao.2023.07.008] [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: 12/01/2022] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 01/12/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at an elevated risk of developing both a second malignant neoplasm (SMN) and cardiac disease. Objectives This study sought to assess the excess of occurrence of cardiac disease after a SMN among CCS. Methods Analyses included 7,670 CCS from the French Childhood Cancer Survivors Study cohort diagnosed between 1945 and 2000. To account for the time dependence of the occurrence of a SMN, we employed a landmark approach, considering an additive regression model for the cumulative incidence of cardiac disease. We estimated the effect of a SMN on the instantaneous risk of cardiac disease using a proportional cause-specific hazard model, considering a SMN as a time-dependent exposure. In both models, we adjusted for demographic and treatment information and considered death as a competing event. Results In 7,670 CCS over a median follow-up of 30 years (IQR: 22-38 years), there were 378 cases of cardiac disease identified, of which 49 patients experienced a SMN. Patients who survived 25 years after their childhood cancer diagnosis and had a SMN in that time frame had a significantly increased cumulative incidence of cardiac disease, which was 3.8% (95% CI: 0.5% to 7.1%) higher compared with those without a SMN during this period. No SMN-induced excess of cardiac disease was observed at subsequent landmark times. SMNs were associated with a 2-fold increase (cause-specific HR: 2.0; 95% CI: 1.4-2.8) of cardiac disease. Conclusions The occurrence of a SMN among CCS is associated with an increased risk of cardiac disease occurrence and risk at younger ages.

Primary Care Utilization and Cardiovascular Screening in Adult Survivors of Childhood Cancer. JAMA Netw Open 2023; 6:e2347449. [PMID: 38091040 PMCID: PMC10719759 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.47449] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/17/2023] [Accepted: 10/30/2023] [Indexed: 12/17/2023] Open
Abstract
Importance Cardiovascular disease is the leading noncancer cause of premature death among survivors of childhood cancer. Adult survivors of childhood cancer are largely managed by primary care practitioners (PCPs), and health care utilization patterns related to cardiovascular screening are not well described. Objective To examine screening and health care utilization among survivors of childhood cancer at high risk for cardiovascular complications. Design, Setting, and Participants This multicenter cross-sectional study included participants enrolled in a randomized clinical trial from 2017 to 2021. Abstracted documentation of participants' cancer history, cardiotoxic treatment exposures, and survivorship care plans were obtained from participants' PCPs spanning 2 years preceding trial enrollment. Participants were members of the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study cohort at elevated risk for ischemic heart disease or heart failure, enrolled in a randomized trial focused on improving cardiovascular risk factor control. Data were analyzed from November 2022 to July 2023. Main Outcomes and Measures Outcomes of interest were numbers of PCP and specialist visits, cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes), risk factor screening, and cardiac testing. Multivariable logistic regression assessed characteristics associated with up-to-date cardiac testing at enrollment. Results Of 347 enrolled participants, 293 (84.4%) had evaluable medical records (median [range] age, 39.9 [21.5-65.0] years; 149 [50.9%] male) and were included in analyses. At baseline, 238 participants (81.2%) had a documented PCP encounter; 241 participants (82.3%) had undergone blood pressure screening, 179 participants (61.1%) had undergone lipid testing, and 193 participants (65.9%) had undergone diabetes screening. A total of 63 participants (21.5%) had echocardiography completed or planned. Only 198 participants (67.6%) had records referencing a cancer history. PCP documentation of prior cardiotoxic exposures was low compared with known exposures, including radiation therapy (103 participants [35.2%] vs 203 participants [69.3%]; P < .001) and anthracycline chemotherapy (27 participants [9.2%] vs 222 participants [75.8%]; P = .008). Few records referenced a need for cancer-related late effects surveillance (95 records [32.4%]). Independent factors associated with cardiac screening included documentation of increased cardiovascular disease risk (odds ratio [OR], 11.94; 95% CI, 3.37-42.31), a late-effects surveillance plan (OR, 3.92; 95% CI, 1.69-9.11), and existing cardiovascular risk factors (OR per each additional factor, 2.09; 95% CI, 1.32-3.31). Conclusions and Relevance This cross-sectional study of adult survivors of childhood cancer at increased risk of cardiovascular disease found low adherence to recommended cardiac testing and documentation of risk for these individuals. Improving accuracy of reporting of survivors' exposures and risks within the medical record may improve screening.

Abstract
The contributions of cooperative groups to performing large-cohort clinical trials and long-term survivorship studies have facilitated advances in treatment, supportive care and, ultimately, survival for patients with paediatric cancers. As a result, the number of childhood cancer survivors in the USA alone is expected to reach almost 580,000 by 2040. Despite these substantial improvements, childhood cancer survivors continue to have an elevated burden of chronic disease and an excess risk of early death compared with the general population and therefore constitute a large, medically vulnerable population for which delivery of high-quality, personalized care is much needed. Data from large survivorship cohorts have enabled the identification of compelling associations between paediatric cancers, cancer therapy and long-term health conditions. Effectively translating these findings into clinical care that improves the quality and quantity of life for survivors remains an important focus of ongoing research. Continued development of well-designed clinical studies incorporating dissemination and implementation strategies with input from patient advocates and other key stakeholders is crucial to overcoming these gaps. This Review highlights the global progress made and future efforts that will be needed to further increase the quality and quantity of life-years gained for childhood cancer survivors.

Abstract
Background It is unknown whether a history of childhood cancer modifies the established disparities in cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) observed in the general population. Objectives We sought to determine if disparities in CVRFs by race/ethnicity are similar among childhood cancer survivors compared with the general population. Methods The Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) is a retrospective cohort with a longitudinal follow-up of 24,084 5-year survivors diagnosed between 1970 and 1999. Multivariable piecewise exponential regression estimated incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, obesity, and ≥2 CVRFs by race/ethnicity. The CCSS sibling cohort and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cohort were used to compare the sociodemographic-adjusted IRRs for same-race/same-ethnicity disparities. Results Non-Hispanic Black (NHB) (n = 1,092) and Hispanic (n = 1,405) survivors compared with non-Hispanic White (NHW) (n = 13,960) survivors reported a higher cumulative incidence of diabetes (8.4%, 9.7%, and 5.1%, respectively); obesity (47.2%, 48.9%, and 30.2%, respectively); multiple CVRFs (17.7%, 16.6%, and 12.3%, respectively); and, for NHB survivors, hypertension (19.5%, 13.6%, and 14.3%, respectively) by 40 years of age (P < 0.001). Controlling for sociodemographic and treatment factors compared with NHW survivors, IRRs for NHB were increased for hypertension (IRR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.1-1.8), obesity (IRR: 1.7; 95% CI: 1.4-2.1), and multiple CVRFs (IRR: 1.6; 95% CI: 1.2-2.1). IRRs for Hispanic survivors were increased for diabetes (IRR: 1.8; 95% CI: 1.2-2.6) and obesity (IRR: 1.4; 95% CI: 1.2-1.7). The pattern of IRRs for CVRF differences was similar among CCSS sibling and National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cohorts. Conclusions The higher burden of CVRFs among NHB and Hispanic survivors compared with NHW survivors was similar to the general population. The promotion of cardiovascular health equity is critical in this high-risk population.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Long-term childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at high risk of having dyslipidemia including low high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). However, little is known about the prevalence of low HDL-C and the impact of therapy exposure on HDL composition early after treatment is terminated. METHODS This associative study included 50 children and adolescents who had completed their cancer treatments (< 4 years). Clinical characteristics (demographic, diagnosis, treatment, anthropometric parameters), fasting plasma lipids, apoliporoteins (Apo) A-I and composition of HDL fractions (HDL2 and HDL3) were assessed. Data were stratified according to the presence of dyslipidemia and median doses of therapeutic agents and compared using Fisher exact or Mann-Whitney tests. Univariate binary logistic regression analyses were carried out to evaluate the associations between the clinical and biochemical characteristics and having low HDL-C. Composition of HDL2 and HDL3 particles was assessed in a sub-group of 15 patients and compared to 15 age- and sex-matched healthy controls using Wilcoxon paired test. RESULTS Of the 50 pediatric cancer patients included in this study (mean age: 11.30 ± 0.72 y; mean time since end of treatment: 1.47 ± 0.12 y; male: 38%), 8 had low HDL-C (16%), all of which were adolescent at diagnosis. Higher doses of doxorubicin were associated with lower HDL-C and Apo A-I levels. In hypertriglyceridemic patients and compared to normolipidemics, triglycerides (TG) content was greater in HDL2 and HDL3 fractions whereas esterified cholesterol (EC) content was lower in HDL2. Enrich TG content of HDL3 and lower EC of HDL2 was found in patients exposed to ≥ 90 mg/m2 doxorubicin. Factors positively associated with the risk of having low HDL-C were age, being overweight or obese and exposure to doxorubicin ≥ 90 mg/m2. Compared to healthy controls, a sub-group of 15 patients showed higher TG and free cholesterol (FC) content of HDL2 and HDL3 and lower EC content in HDL3. CONCLUSIONS Overall, we found abnormalities in HDL-C and Apo A-I levels and in HDL composition early after pediatric cancer treatment that are influenced by age, overweight or obesity status and exposure to doxorubicin.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinical informatics tools to integrate data from multiple sources have the potential to catalyze population health management of childhood cancer survivors at high risk for late heart failure through the implementation of previously validated risk calculators. METHODS The Oklahoma cohort (n = 365) harnessed data elements from Passport for Care (PFC), and the Duke cohort (n = 274) employed informatics methods to automatically extract chemotherapy exposures from electronic health record (EHR) data for survivors 18 years old and younger at diagnosis. The Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) late cardiovascular risk calculator was implemented, and risk groups for heart failure were compared to the Children's Oncology Group (COG) and the International Guidelines Harmonization Group (IGHG) recommendations. Analysis within the Oklahoma cohort assessed disparities in guideline-adherent care. RESULTS The Oklahoma and Duke cohorts both observed good overall concordance between the CCSS and COG risk groups for late heart failure, with weighted kappa statistics of .70 and .75, respectively. Low-risk groups showed excellent concordance (kappa > .9). Moderate and high-risk groups showed moderate concordance (kappa .44-.60). In the Oklahoma cohort, adolescents at diagnosis were significantly less likely to receive guideline-adherent echocardiogram surveillance compared with survivors younger than 13 years old at diagnosis (odds ratio [OD] 0.22; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.10-0.49). CONCLUSIONS Clinical informatics tools represent a feasible approach to leverage discrete treatment-related data elements from PFC or the EHR to successfully implement previously validated late cardiovascular risk prediction models on a population health level. Concordance of CCSS, COG, and IGHG risk groups using real-world data informs current guidelines and identifies inequities in guideline-adherent care.

Abstract
Cancer and cardiovascular disease are two of the leading causes of global mortality and morbidity. Medical research has generated powerful lifesaving treatments for patients with cancer; however, such treatments may sometimes be at the expense of the patient's myocardium, leading to heart failure. Anti-cancer drugs, including anthracyclines, can result in deleterious cardiac effects, significantly impacting patients' functional capacity, mental well-being, and quality of life. Recognizing this, recent international guidelines and expert papers published recommendations on risk stratification and care delivery, including that of cardio-oncology services. This review will summarize key evidence with a focus on anthracycline therapy, providing clinical guidance for the non-oncology professional caring for a patient with cancer and heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND 5-year survival after childhood cancer does not fully describe life-years lost due to childhood cancer because there are a large number of deaths occurring beyond 5-years (late mortality) related to cancer and cancer treatment. Specific causes of health-related (non-recurrence, non-external) late mortality and risk reduction through modifiable lifestyle and cardiovascular risk factors are not well described. Through using a well-characterised cohort of 5-year survivors of the most common childhood cancers, we evaluated specific health-related causes of late mortality and excess deaths compared with the general US population and identified targets to reduce future risk. METHODS In this multi-institutional, hospital-based, retrospective cohort study, late mortality (death ≥5 years from diagnosis) and specific causes of death were evaluated in 34 230 5-year survivors of childhood cancer diagnosed at an age younger than 21 years from 1970 to 1999 at 31 institutions in the USA and Canada; median follow-up from diagnosis was 29 years (range 5-48) in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study. Demographic, self-reported modifiable lifestyle (ie, smoking, alcohol, physical activity, and BMI) and cardiovascular risk factors (ie, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia) associated with health-related mortality (which excludes death from primary cancer and external causes and includes death from late effects of cancer therapy) were evaluated. FINDINGS 40-year cumulative all-cause mortality was 23·3% (95% CI 22·7-24·0), with 3061 (51·2%) of 5916 deaths from health-related causes. Survivors 40 years or more from diagnosis experienced 131 excess health-related deaths per 10 000 person-years (95% CI 111-163), including those due to the top three causes of health-related death in the general population: cancer (absolute excess risk per 10 000 person-years 54, 95% CI 41-68), heart disease (27, 18-38), and cerebrovascular disease (10, 5-17). Healthy lifestyle and absence of hypertension and diabetes were each associated with a 20-30% reduction in health-related mortality independent of other factors (all p values ≤0·002). INTERPRETATION Survivors of childhood cancer are at excess risk of late mortality even 40 years from diagnosis, due to many of the leading causes of death in the US population. Modifiable lifestyle and cardiovascular risk factors associated with reduced risk for late mortality should be part of future interventions.

Abstract
Cancer is a major public health problem, and chemotherapy plays a significant role in the management of neoplastic diseases. However, chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity is a serious side effect secondary to cardiac damage caused by antineoplastic's direct and indirect toxicity. Currently, there are no reliable and approved methods for preventing or treating chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity. Understanding the mechanisms of chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity may be vital to improving survival. The independent risk factors for developing cardiotoxicity must be considered to prevent myocardial damage without decreasing the therapeutic efficacy of cancer treatment. This systematic review aimed to identify and analyze the evidence on chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity, associated risk factors, and methods to decrease or prevent it. We conducted a comprehensive search on PubMed, Google Scholar, and Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) using the following keywords: "doxorubicin cardiotoxicity", "anthracycline cardiotoxicity", "chemotherapy", "digoxin decrease cardiotoxicity", "ATG7 activators", retrieving 59 articles fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Therapeutic schemes can be changed by choosing prolonged infusion application over boluses. In addition, some agents like Dexrazoxane can reduce chemotherapy-induced cardiotoxicity in high-risk groups. Recent research found that Digoxin, ATG7 activators, Resveratrol, and other medical substances or herbal compounds have a comparable effect on Dexrazoxane in anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity.

Abstract
PURPOSE Interindividual variability in the dose-dependent association between anthracyclines and cardiomyopathy suggests a modifying role of genetic susceptibility. Few previous studies have examined gene-anthracycline interactions. We addressed this gap using the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (discovery) and the Children's Oncology Group (COG) study COG-ALTE03N1 (replication). METHODS A genome-wide association study (Illumina HumanOmni5Exome Array) in 1,866 anthracycline-exposed Childhood Cancer Survivor Study participants (126 with heart failure) was used to identify single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with either main or gene-environment interaction effect on anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy that surpassed a prespecified genome-wide threshold for statistical significance. We attempted replication in a matched case-control set of anthracycline-exposed childhood cancer survivors with (n = 105) and without (n = 160) cardiomyopathy from COG-ALTE03N1. RESULTS Two SNPs (rs17736312 [ROBO2]) and rs113230990 (near a CCCTC-binding factor insulator [< 750 base pair]) passed the significance cutoff for gene-anthracycline dose interaction in discovery. SNP rs17736312 was successfully replicated. Compared with the GG/AG genotypes on rs17736312 and anthracyclines ≤ 250 mg/m2, the AA genotype and anthracyclines > 250 mg/m2 conferred a 2.2-fold (95% CI, 1.2 to 4.0) higher risk of heart failure in discovery and an 8.2-fold (95% CI, 2.0 to 34.4) higher risk in replication. ROBO2 encodes transmembrane Robo receptors that bind Slit ligands (SLIT). Slit-Robo signaling pathway promotes cardiac fibrosis by interfering with the transforming growth factor-β1/small mothers against decapentaplegic (Smad) pathway, resulting in disordered remodeling of the extracellular matrix and potentiating heart failure. We found significant gene-level associations with heart failure: main effect (TGF-β1, P = .007); gene*anthracycline interaction (ROBO2*anthracycline, P = .0003); and gene*gene*anthracycline interaction (SLIT2*TGF-β1*anthracycline, P = .009). CONCLUSION These findings suggest that high-dose anthracyclines combined with genetic variants involved in the profibrotic Slit-Robo signaling pathway promote cardiac fibrosis via the transforming growth factor-β1/Smad pathway, providing credence to the biologic plausibility of the association between SNP rs17736312 (ROBO2) and anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cancer patients are at risk for treatment-related myocardial dysfunction and heart failure during or after treatment. Risk prediction models have the potential to play an important role in identifying patients at high or low risk in order to take appropriate measures. Here, we review their current role. RECENT FINDINGS More and more risk prediction models are currently being developed. Unfortunately, they vary widely in their ability to identify patients and survivors at risk for myocardial dysfunction or heart failure, from very poor to strong. Part of this variation might be explained by methodological limitations of the models, but due to a lack of reporting it is not possible to completely assess this. There lies great potential in the improvement of the quality and the use of risk prediction models to inform patients and clinicians on the absolute risk of cardiac events in order to guide care.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW Arterial hypertension (AH) is the most common cardiovascular (CV) risk factor in the community and in oncologic patients. It also represents the most important CV condition predisposing to anticancer treatment-related cardiotoxicity. This risk is heightened in the presence of cardiac AH-mediated organ damage (HMOD). Influence of AH and HMOD on the development of cardiotoxicity will be reviewed, with a focus on specific scenarios and implications for management of oncologic patients. RECENT FINDINGS Not adequately controlled AH before or during anticancer treatments and/or development of AH during or after completion of such therapies have detrimental effects on the clinical course of oncologic patients, particularly if HMOD is present. As overlooking CV health can jeopardize the success of anticancer treatments, the goal for clinicians caring for the oncologic patient should include the treatment of AH and HMOD.

Abstract
Survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer, previously treated with anthracycline chemotherapy (including mitoxantrone) or radiotherapy in which the heart was exposed, are at increased risk of cardiomyopathy. Symptomatic cardiomyopathy is typically preceded by a series of gradually progressive, asymptomatic changes in structure and function of the heart that can be ameliorated with treatment, prompting specialist organisations to endorse guidelines on cardiac surveillance in at-risk survivors of cancer. In 2015, the International Late Effects of Childhood Cancer Guideline Harmonization Group compiled these guidelines into a uniform set of recommendations applicable to a broad spectrum of clinical environments with varying resource availabilities. Since then, additional studies have provided insight into dose thresholds associated with a risk of asymptomatic and symptomatic cardiomyopathy, have characterised risk over time, and have established the cost-effectiveness of different surveillance strategies. This systematic Review and guideline provides updated recommendations based on the evidence published up to September, 2020.

Abstract
PURPOSE Previous efforts to predict absolute risk of treatment-related cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have mostly focused on childhood cancer survivors. We aimed to develop prediction models for risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and heart failure (HF) for survivors of adolescent/adult Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). METHODS For model development, we used a multicenter cohort including 1,433 5-year HL survivors treated between 1965 and 2000 and age 18-50 years at HL diagnosis, with complete data on administered chemotherapy regimens, radiotherapy volumes and doses, and cardiovascular follow-up. Using cause-specific hazard models, covariate-adjusted cumulative incidences for CHD and HF were estimated in the presence of competing risks of death because of other causes than CHD and HF. Age at HL diagnosis, sex, smoking status, radiotherapy, and anthracycline treatment were included as predictors. External validation for the CHD model was performed using a Canadian cohort of 708 HL survivors treated between 1988 and 2004 and age 18-50 years at HL diagnosis. RESULTS After a median follow-up of 24 years, 341 survivors had developed CHD and 102 had HF. We were able to predict CHD and HF risk at 20 and 30 years after treatment with moderate to good overall calibration and moderate discrimination (areas under the curve: 0.68-0.74), which was confirmed by external validation for the CHD model (areas under the curve: 0.73-0.74). On the basis of our model including prescribed mediastinal radiation dose, 30-year risks ranged from 4% to 78% for CHD and 3% to 46% for HF, depending on risk factors. CONCLUSION We developed and validated prediction models for CHD and HF with good overall calibration and moderate discrimination. These models can be used to identify HL survivors who might benefit from targeted screening for CVD and early treatment for CVD risk factors.

Abstract
PURPOSE Heart failure (HF) is a potentially life-threatening complication of treatment for childhood cancer. We evaluated the risk and risk factors for HF in a large European study of long-term survivors. Little is known of the effects of low doses of treatment, which is needed to improve current treatment protocols and surveillance guidelines. METHODS This study includes the PanCareSurFup and ProCardio cohort of ≥ 5-year childhood cancer survivors diagnosed between 1940 and 2009 in seven European countries (N = 42,361). We calculated the cumulative incidence of HF and conducted a nested case-control study to evaluate detailed treatment-related risk factors. RESULTS The cumulative incidence of HF was 2% (95% CI, 1.7 to 2.2) by age 50 years. The case-control study (n = 1,000) showed that survivors who received a mean heart radiation therapy (RT) dose of 5 to < 15 Gy have an increased risk of HF (odds ratio, 5.5; 95% CI, 2.5 to 12.3), when compared with no heart RT. The risk associated with doses 5 to < 15 Gy increased with exposure of a larger heart volume. In addition, the HF risk increased in a linear fashion with higher mean heart RT doses. Regarding total cumulative anthracycline dose, survivors who received ≥ 100 mg/m2 had a substantially increased risk of HF and survivors treated with a lower dose showed no significantly increased risk of HF. The dose-response relationship appeared quadratic with higher anthracycline doses. CONCLUSION Survivors who received a mean heart RT dose of ≥ 5 Gy have an increased risk of HF. The risk associated with RT increases with larger volumes exposed. Survivors treated with < 100 mg/m2 total cumulative anthracycline dose have no significantly increased risk of HF. These new findings might have consequences for new treatment protocols for children with cancer and for cardiomyopathy surveillance guidelines.

Abstract
Background Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at particularly high risk for therapy-related late sequelae, with secondary primary neoplasms (SPN) being the most detrimental. Since there is no standardized questionnaire for retrospective assessment of associations between prior cancer treatments and late health effects, we developed a self-administered questionnaire and validated it in a cohort of CCS. Methods CCS of a first primary neoplasm (FPN, N=340) only or with a subsequent SPN (N=101) were asked whether they had received cancer therapies. Self-reports were compared to participants' medical records on cancer therapies from hospitals and clinical studies (N=242). Cohen's Kappa (κ) was used to measure their agreement and logistic regression was used to identify factors influencing the concordance. Associations between exposure to cancer therapies and late health effects (overweight/obesity, diseases of the lipid metabolism and the thyroid gland, cardiovascular diseases, occurrence of SPN) were analyzed in all participants by applying generalized linear mixed models to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI). Results For CCS of SPN, a perfect agreement was found between self-reports and medical records for chemotherapy (CT, κ=1.0) while the accordance for radiotherapy (RT) was lower but still substantial (κ=0.8). For the CCS of FPN the accordance was less precise (CT: κ=0.7, RT: κ=0.3). Cancer status, tumors of the central nervous system, sex, age at recruitment, vocational training, follow-up time, and comorbidities had no impact on agreement. CCS with exposure to CT were found to be less often overweight or obese compared to those without CT (OR=0.6 (95%CI 0.39; 0.91)). However, they were found to suffer more likely from thyroid diseases excluding thyroid cancers (OR=9.91 (95%CI 4.0; 24.57)) and hypercholesterolemia (OR=4.45 (95%CI 1.5; 13.23)). All other analyses did not show an association. Conclusion Our new questionnaire proved reliable for retrospective assessment of exposure to CT and RT in CCS of SPN. For the CCS of FPN, self-reported RT was very imprecise and should not be used for further analyses. We revealed an association between late health outcomes occurring as hypercholesterolemia and thyroid diseases, excluding thyroid cancer, and the use of CT for the treatment of childhood cancer.

Abstract
Five-year survival for childhood cancer now exceeds 85%. However, for many patients, treatment requires the use of intensive anthracycline-based chemotherapy and radiotherapy, both of which are associated with significant long-term cardiovascular toxicity. As such, late cardiovascular disease is now one of the leading causes of premature morbidity and mortality among childhood cancer survivors. Recent advances over the past decade have refined the cardiotoxic potential of various chemotherapeutics, and ongoing work seeks to determine the efficacy of various cardioprotective strategies in children receiving active cancer therapy. The development of risk prediction models offers an additional strategy to define risk for both newly treated and long-term survivors. Current screening strategies are primarily based on echocardiography, although there is active research investigating methods to further optimize screening through myocardial strain, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, blood biomarkers, and genetics, along with the cost-effectiveness of different screening strategies. Active research is also underway investigating the efficacy of prevention strategies for childhood cancer survivors who have completed cancer therapy. This ranges from the use of medications to mitigate potential pathologic ventricular remodeling to reducing adverse and modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (eg, hypertension, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, physical inactivity, tobacco exposure), many of which may be more common in cancer survivors vs the general population and are often underrecognized and undertreated in relatively young adult-aged survivors of childhood cancer.

Abstract
Survivors of childhood cancer are at risk of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, which might be prevented by dexrazoxane. However, concerns exist about the safety of dexrazoxane, and little guidance is available on its use in children. To facilitate global consensus, a working group within the International Late Effects of Childhood Cancer Guideline Harmonization Group reviewed the existing literature and used evidence-based methodology to develop a guideline for dexrazoxane administration in children with cancer who are expected to receive anthracyclines. Recommendations were made in consideration of evidence supporting the balance of potential benefits and harms, and clinical judgement by the expert panel. Given the dose-dependent risk of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, we concluded that the benefits of dexrazoxane probably outweigh the risk of subsequent neoplasms when the cumulative doxorubicin or equivalent dose is at least 250 mg/m2 (moderate recommendation). No recommendation could be formulated for cumulative doxorubicin or equivalent doses of lower than 250 mg/m2, due to insufficient evidence to determine whether the risk of cardiotoxicity outweighs the possible risk of subsequent neoplasms. Further research is encouraged to determine the long-term efficacy and safety of dexrazoxane in children with cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cardio-oncology is an increasingly important field of cardiology that focuses on the detection, monitoring, and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD) occurring during and after oncological treatments. The survival rate for childhood cancer patients has dramatically increased thanks to new treatment protocols and cardiovascular (CV) sequelae represent the third most frequent cause of mortality in surviving patients. This study aims to provide a complete and updated review of all the main aspects of cardio-oncology in childhood and to highlight the critical issues. RECENT FINDINGS The problem of CV complications in childhood cancer survivors raises the need to make an early diagnosis of cardiotoxicity by the new imaging and laboratory techniques in order to intervene promptly and to implement pharmacological strategies and lifestyle changes to reduce or even to prevent cardiac injury. Furthermore, a stratification of CV risk, also including new predisposing factors such as the presence of some genetic mutations, is of paramount importance before undertaking oncological treatments. Besides, a systematic and personalized planning of long-term follow-up is fundamental to ensure a transition from pediatric to adult hospital and to avoid missed or late diagnosis of cardiomyopathy. We reviewed the main risk factors for cardiotoxicity in children, both traditional and emerging ones: the mechanisms of toxicity of both old and new antineoplastic therapies, the techniques for detecting cardiac damage, and the current evidence regarding pharmacological cardioprotection. At the end, we focused our attention on the existing guidelines and strategies about the long-term follow-up of childhood cancer survivors.

Abstract
Cardio-oncology is a new multidisciplinary area of expertise that seeks to pre-emptively and proactively address cardiac complications that emerge during and following cancer therapy. Modern therapies including molecular targeted therapy and immunotherapy have broadened the agents that can cause cardiac sequelae, often with complications arising within days to weeks of therapy. Several international guidelines have been developed for the acute monitoring of cardio-oncology side effects. However, none are specific to pediatrics. We have addressed this gap in the literature by undertaking a rigorous Delphi consensus approach across 11 domains of cardio-oncology care using an Australian and New Zealand expert group. The expert group consisted of pediatric and adult cardiologists and pediatric oncologists. This Delphi consensus provides an approach to perform risk and baseline assessment, screening, and follow-up, specific to the cancer therapeutic. This review is a useful tool for clinicians involved in the cardio-oncology care of pediatric oncology patients.

Late health effects and changes in lifestyle factors after cancer in childhood with and without subsequent second primary cancers – the KiKme case-control study. Front Oncol 2022; 12:1037276.

Abstract
Background Improved treatments for childhood cancer result in a growing number of long-term childhood cancer survivors (CCS). The diagnosis and the prevalence of comorbidities may, however, influence their lifestyle later in life. Nonetheless, little is known about differences in late effects between CCS of a first primary neoplasm (FPN) in childhood and subsequent second primary neoplasms (SPN) and their impact on lifestyle. Therefore, we aim to investigate associations between the occurrence of FPN or SPN and various diseases and lifestyle in the later life of CCS. Methods CCS of SPN (n=101) or FPN (n=340) and cancer-free controls (n=150) were matched by age and sex, and CCS additionally by year and entity of FPN. All participants completed a self-administered questionnaire on anthropometric and socio-economic factors, medical history, health status, and lifestyle. Mean time between FPN diagnosis and interview was 27.3 years for SPN and 26.2 years for FPN CCS. To confirm results from others and to generate new hypotheses on late effects of childhood cancer as well as CCS´ lifestyles, generalized linear mixed models were applied. Results CCS were found to suffer more likely from diseases compared to cancer-free controls. In detail, associations with cancer status were observed for hypercholesterinemia and thyroid diseases. Moreover, CCS were more likely to take regular medication compared to controls. A similar association was observed for CCS of SPN compared to CCS of FPN. In contrast to controls, CCS rarely exercise more than 5 hours per week, consumed fewer soft and alcoholic drinks, and were less likely to be current, former, or passive smokers. Additionally, they were less likely overweight or obese. All other exploratory analyses performed on cardiovascular, chronic lung, inflammatory bone, allergic, and infectious diseases, as well as on a calculated health-score revealed no association with tumor status. Conclusion CCS were more affected by pathologic conditions and may consequently take more medication, particularly among CCS of SPN. The observed higher disease burden is likely related to the received cancer therapy. To reduce the burden of long-term adverse health effects in CCS, improving cancer therapies should therefore be in focus of research in this area.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among cancer survivors. Hypertension, which is common among cancer survivors with a prevalence of greater than 70% by age 50, potentiates the risk for CVD in a more than additive fashion. For example, childhood cancer survivors who develop hypertension may have up to a 12 times higher risk for heart failure than survivors who remain normotensive. Studies have shown that mild valvular disease (28% incidence), cardiomyopathy (7.4%), arrhythmias (4.6%), and coronary artery disease (3.8%) are among the most common CVDs in childhood cancer survivors. Among adolescent and young adult cancer survivors, the most common reasons for cardiovascular-related hospital admission are venous/lymphatic disease (absolute excess risk 19%), cardiomyopathy and arrhythmia (15%), hypertension (13%), and ischemic heart disease (12%). In addition, cancer therapies can increase the risk for hypertension and CVD. Therefore, early detection and treatment of hypertension is essential to reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among survivors. METHODS We present a literature review, which identified over 20 clinical trials, systemic reviews, and meta-analyses (13 clinical trials, 8 systemic reviews or meta-analyses) by searching PubMed, Google Scholar, and the Cochrane Library for relevant articles addressing hypertension in cancer survivors. RESULTS Although our understanding of the complex relationship between cancer therapies and CVD has grown significantly over the past 2 decades, there remain several gaps in knowledge when specifically addressing CVD in the survivor population. This review provides an up-to-date survivor-centered approach to the screening and treatment of hypertension, which considers survivor-specific cardiovascular risk, applies guideline directed therapies when appropriate, screens for survivor-specific factors that may influence antihypertensive medication selection, and finally considers the prohypertensive mechanisms of antineoplastic agents as a potential target for antihypertensive medications. CONCLUSIONS Screening for and treating hypertension among survivors can promote cardiovascular health in this vulnerable population.

Abstract
Patients with advanced testicular cancer receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy with a high rate of cure. Cisplatin-based chemotherapy increases risks of acute vascular complications among testicular cancer survivors. Cisplatin-based chemotherapy increases cardiovascular disease risk factors and cardiovascular disease among testicular cancer survivors. Long-term management of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular disease in testicular cancer survivors is recommended.

Abstract
Background Cardiomyopathy is a leading cause of late morbidity and mortality in childhood cancer survivors (CCS). Evidence-based guidelines recommend risk-stratified screening for cardiomyopathy, but the management approach for abnormalities detected when screening asymptomatic young adult CCS is poorly defined. Objectives The aims of this study were to build upon existing guidelines by describing the expert consensus–based cardiomyopathy screening practices, management approach, and clinical rationale for the management of young adult CCS with screening-detected abnormalities and to identify areas of controversy in practice. Methods A multispecialty Delphi panel of 40 physicians with expertise in cancer survivorship completed 3 iterative rounds of semi-open-ended questionnaires regarding their approaches to the management of asymptomatic young adult CCS at risk for cardiomyopathy (screening practices, referrals, cardiac testing, laboratory studies, medications). Consensus was defined as ≥90% panelist agreement with recommendation. Results The response rate was 100% for all 3 rounds. Panelists reached consensus on the timing and frequency of echocardiographic screening for anthracycline-associated cardiomyopathy, monitoring during pregnancy, laboratory testing for modifiable cardiac risk factors, and referral to cardiology for ejection fraction ≤50% or preserved ejection fraction with diastolic dysfunction. Controversial areas (<75% agreement) included chest radiation dose threshold to merit screening, indications for advanced cardiac imaging and cardiac serum biomarkers for follow-up of abnormal echocardiographic findings, and medical management of asymptomatic left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Conclusions Expert practice is largely consistent with existing risk-based screening guidelines. Some recommendations for managing abnormalities detected on screening echocardiography remain controversial. The rationale offered by experts for divergent approaches may help guide clinical decisions in the absence of guidelines specific to young adult CCS.

Abstract
Innovative therapeutic strategies in childhood cancer led to a significant reduction in cancer-related mortality. Cancer survivors are a growing fragile population, at risk of long-term side effects of cancer treatments, thus requiring customized clinical attention. Antineoplastic drugs have a wide toxicity profile that can limit their clinical usage and spoil patients’ life, even years after the end of treatment. The cardiovascular system is a well-known target of antineoplastic treatments, including anthracyclines, chest radiotherapy and new molecules, such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We investigated nutritional changes in children with cancer from the diagnosis to the end of treatment and dietary habits in cancer survivors. At diagnosis, children with cancer may present variable degrees of malnutrition, potentially affecting drug tolerability and prognosis. During cancer treatment, the usage of corticosteroids can lead to rapid weight gain, exposing children to overweight and obesity. Moreover, dietary habits and lifestyle often dramatically change in cancer survivors, who acquire sedentary behavior and weak adherence to dietary guidelines. Furthermore, we speculated on the role of nutrition in the primary prevention of cardiac damage, investigating the potential cardioprotective role of diet-derived compounds with antioxidative properties. Finally, we summarized practical advice to improve the dietary habits of cancer survivors and their families.

Abstract
Background Determine the prevalence and predictors associated with underdiagnosis and undertreatment of modifiable cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance/diabetes) among adult survivors of childhood cancer at high risk of premature CVD. Methods and Results This was a cross‐sectional study of adult‐aged survivors of childhood cancer treated with anthracyclines or chest radiotherapy, recruited across 9 US metropolitan regions. Survivors completed questionnaires and in‐home clinical assessments. The comparator group was a matched sample from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Multivariable logistic regression estimated the risk (odds ratios) of CVD risk factor underdiagnosis and undertreatment among survivors compared with the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Survivors (n=571; median age, 37.7 years and 28.5 years from cancer diagnosis) were more likely to have a preexisting CVD risk factor than the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (n=345; P<0.05 for all factors). While rates of CVD risk factor underdiagnosis were similar (27.1% survivors versus 26.1% National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey; P=0.73), survivors were more likely undertreated (21.0% versus 13.9%, P=0.007; odds ratio, 1.8, 95% CI, 1.2–2.7). Among survivors, the most underdiagnosed and undertreated risk factors were hypertension (18.9%) and dyslipidemia (16.3%), respectively. Men and survivors who were overweight/obese were more likely to be underdiagnosed and undertreated. Those with multiple adverse lifestyle factors were also more likely undertreated (odds ratio, 2.2, 95% CI, 1.1–4.5). Greater health‐related self‐efficacy was associated with reduced undertreatment (odds ratio, 0.5; 95% CI, 0.3–0.8). Conclusions Greater awareness of among primary care providers and cardiologists, combined with improving self‐efficacy among survivors, may mitigate the risk of underdiagnosed and undertreated CVD risk factors among adult‐aged survivors of childhood cancer.

Abstract
Background Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is endorsed to improve cardiovascular outcomes in cancer survivors. The quality of CR-based research in oncology has not been assessed. Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of reporting and evidence from CR-based intervention studies in oncology and to explore associations between intervention participation and outcomes. Methods Systematic searches of 5 databases were conducted (January 2020) and updated (September 2021). Randomized and nonrandomized studies evaluating CR-based interventions in adult cancer survivors during and after treatment were eligible. Independent reviewers extracted data using 2 reporting guidelines (Template for Intervention Description and Replication and Consolidated Standards for Reporting Trials Harms extension), risk of bias (ROB) assessment tools (Cochrane ROB 2.0 and Cochrane Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions), and a combined inventory (Tool for the Assessment of Study Quality and reporting in Exercise). A meta-analysis was used to explore pre-intervention/post-intervention differences for commonly assessed outcomes. Results Ten studies involving data from 685 survivors were included. The mean quality scores for intervention reporting (Template for Intervention Description and Replication) and harms (Consolidated Standards for Reporting Trials Harms extension) were 62% and 17%, respectively. There was moderate-to-high ROB across nonrandomized (Cochrane Risk of Bias in Non-Randomized Studies of Interventions score: 25%) and randomized (ROB 2.0 score: 50%) studies. The mean standardized cardiorespiratory fitness was higher (0.42; 95% CI: 0.27-0.57), fatigue was lower (−0.45; 95% CI: −0.55 to −0.34), and percent body fat (0.07; 95% CI: −0.23 to 0.38) was not different in survivors completing CR compared with those not completing CR. Conclusions CR-based studies in oncology have low-to-moderate reporting quality and moderate-to-high ROB limiting interpretation, reproducibility, and translation of this evidence into practice.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study aimed at comparing the cardiometabolic (CM) health of children and adolescents and identifying factors associated with CM complications shortly after cancer treatment. Cancer-related characteristics, blood pressure (BP), anthropometry, and biochemical parameters were collected in 80 patients (56.3% female, mean age: 11.8 years; range: 4.5 - 21.0) a mean of 1.4 years following therapy completion. Compared to children, adolescents had higher mean z-score of insulin (-0.47 vs. 0.20; P = 0.01), HOMA-IR (-0.40 vs. 0.25; P = 0.02), waist-to-height ratio (0.36 vs. 0.84; P = 0.01), subscapular skinfold thickness (-0.19 vs. 0.47; P = 0.02), total body fat (-1.43 vs. 0.26; P < 0.01), and lower mean z-score of HDL-C (0.07 vs. -0.53; P < 0.01). Adolescents were more likely to have high BP (42% vs. 15%; P < 0.01), dyslipidemia (64% vs. 15%; P < 0.001), and cumulating ≥ 2 CM complications (42% vs. 2%; P < 0.001) than children. Adiposity indices (z-scores) were associated with high BP [odds ratio (OR) ranging from 2.11 to 4.09] and dyslipidemia (OR ranging from 2.06 to 4.34). These results suggest that adolescents have a worse CM profile than children shortly after therapy and that adiposity parameters are associated with CM complications, highliting the importance to develop intervention strategies targeting this population.

Automated Global Longitudinal Strain Assessment in Long-Term Survivors of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14061513. [PMID: 35326663 PMCID: PMC8946759 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14061513] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2022] [Revised: 03/10/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
There is limited evidence that supports the use of the global longitudinal strain (GLS) in long-term cardiac monitoring of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia survivors (CLSs). Our aim was to assess the utility of automated GLS to detect left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in long-term CLSs. Asymptomatic and subclinical LVSD were defined as LVEF < 50% and GLS < 18.5%, respectively. Echocardiographic measurements and biomarkers were compared with a control group. Inverse probability weighting was used to reduce confounding. Regression models were used to identify factors associated with LVEF and GLS in the survivors. Ninety survivors with a median follow-up of 18 (11−26) years were included. The prevalence of LVSD was higher using GLS than with LVEF (26.6% vs. 12.2%). The measurements were both reduced as compared with the controls (p < 0.001). There were no differences in diastolic parameters and NT-ProBNP. Survivors were more likely to have Hs-cTnI levels above the detection limit (40% vs. 17.2%, p = 0.006). The dose of anthracycline was associated with LVEF but not with GLS in the survivors. Biomarkers were not associated with GLS or LVEF. In conclusion, LVSD detection using automated GLS was higher than with LVEF in long-term CLSs. Its incorporation into clinical routine practice may improve the surveillance of these patients.

Abstract
Introducción: a nivel mundial, cada año cerca de 300.000 niños entre 0 y 19 años son diagnosticados con cáncer. El porcentaje de supervivientes va en aumento, llegando a 80 % en países desarrollados y 60 % en América Latina. Sin embargo, la expectativa y la calidad de vida de estas personas pueden verse comprometidas ante el desarrollo de cardiotoxicidad, un efecto adverso asociado al uso de algunos agentes antineoplásicos, como los antracíclicos.Objetivo: resaltar los aspectos clínicos relevantes para la prevención, detección oportuna, tratamiento y seguimiento de la cardiotoxicidad secundaria a la administración de antraciclinas durante la infancia.Síntesis de contenido: reflexión teórica que presenta consideraciones clínicas relevantes para guiar las acciones de enfermería y del equipo multidisciplinario en la atención y el cuidado de la salud cardiovascular de los supervivientes de cáncer a cualquier edad. Es importante destacar que en población pediátrica la única estrategia efectiva de prevención primaria para cardiotoxicidad por antraciclinas es la administración de dexrazoxano, mientras que la prevención secundaria debe incluir detección oportuna, control y seguimiento de las alteraciones de la función cardíaca y de los factores de riesgo cardiovascular. Por su parte, la prevención terciaria se centra en el control de la enfermedad y el manejo farmacológico. Conclusiones: no existe un tratamiento estándar para la cardiotoxicidad inducida por quimioterapia o radioterapia, siendo el objetivo principal de este tipo de tratamientos prevenir o retrasar la remodelación del ventrículo izquierdo. Todos los supervivientes requieren seguimiento vitalicio y búsqueda activa de signos de cardiotoxicidad, siendo fundamental la acción conjunta de diferentes profesionales y la consolidación de los servicios de cardio-oncología.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk stratification relies on assessment of nonmodifiable (age, sex, family history) and modifiable (weight, tobacco, physical activity, blood pressure, glucose/lipid levels) risk factors. Cancer therapy, itself a potential risk factor, may alter metabolism in long-term survivors of childhood cancer resulting in premature acquisition of age-related modifiable CVD risk factors. For survivors exposed to cardiotoxic therapies, the risk for CVD is significantly augmented by obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. An understanding of these risks may not be well communicated as survivors return to primary care and general population screening practices may be insufficient. Lipshultz and colleagues recruited childhood cancer survivors to return to their treating institution for a comprehensive clinical assessment. Interestingly, compared with a noncancer age-, sex-, and race/ethnicity-matched National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey population, cardiometabolic profiles were largely similar. However, cancer survivors had a higher prevalence of prehypertension/hypertension (38.4% vs. 30.1%, P = 0.04) and a lower prevalence of the metabolic syndrome (11.9% vs. 18.7%, P = 0.05). Applying general population CVD risk calculators and a cancer-specific model from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study, risk estimates were notably higher when cardiotoxic cancer treatment exposures were included.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to examine long-term outcomes among children newly diagnosed with cancer who were treated in dexrazoxane-containing clinical trials. METHODS P9404 (acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma [ALL]), P9425 and P9426 (Hodgkin lymphoma), P9754 (osteosarcoma), and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute 95-01 (ALL) enrolled 1308 patients between 1996 and 2001: 1066 were randomized (1:1) to doxorubicin with or without dexrazoxane, and 242 (from P9754) were nonrandomly assigned to receive dexrazoxane. Trial data were linked with the National Death Index, the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, the Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS), and Medicaid. Osteosarcoma survivors from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS; n = 495; no dexrazoxane) served as comparators in subanalyses. Follow-up events were assessed with cumulative incidence, Cox regression, and Fine-Gray methods. RESULTS In randomized trials (cumulative prescribed doxorubicin dose, 100-360 mg/m2 ; median follow-up, 18.6 years), dexrazoxane was not associated with relapse (hazard ratio [HR], 0.84; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.63-1.13), second cancers (HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 0.62-2.30), all-cause mortality (HR, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.78-1.47), or cardiovascular mortality (HR, 1.45; 95% CI, 0.41-5.16). Among P9754 patients (all exposed to dexrazoxane; cumulative doxorubicin, 450-600 mg/m2 ; median follow-up, 16.6-18.4 years), no cardiovascular deaths or heart transplantation occurred. The 20-year heart transplantation rate among CCSS osteosarcoma survivors (mean doxorubicin, 377 ± 145 mg/m2 ) was 1.6% (vs 0% in P9754; P = .13). Among randomized patients, serious cardiovascular outcomes (cardiomyopathy, ischemic heart disease, and stroke) ascertained by PHIS/Medicaid occurred less commonly with dexrazoxane (5.6%) than without it (17.6%; P = .02), although cardiomyopathy rates alone did not differ (4.4% vs 8.1%; P = .35). CONCLUSIONS Dexrazoxane did not appear to adversely affect long-term mortality, event-free survival, or second cancer risk.

Abstract
The landscape of pediatric oncology has dramatically changed over the course of the past several decades with five-year survival rates surpassing 80%. Anthracycline therapy has been the cornerstone of many chemotherapy regimens for pediatric patients since its introduction in the 1960s, and recent improved survival has been in large part due to advancements in chemotherapy, refinement of supportive care treatments, and development of novel therapeutics such as small molecule inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors. Unfortunately, many cancer-targeted therapies can lead to acute and chronic cardiovascular pathologies. The range of cardiotoxicity can vary but includes symptomatic or asymptotic heart failure, arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, valvar disease, pericardial disease, hypertension, and peripheral vascular disease. There is lack of data guiding primary prevention and treatment strategies in the pediatric population, which leads to substantial practice variability. Several important future research directions have been identified, including as they relate to cardiac disease, prevention strategies, management of cardiovascular risk factors, risk prediction, early detection, and the role of genetic susceptibility in development of cardiotoxicity. Continued collaborative research will be key in advancing the field. The ideal model for pediatric cardio-oncology is a proactive partnership between pediatric cardiologists and oncologists in order to better understand, treat, and ideally prevent cardiac disease in pediatric oncology patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE The incidence of cardiometabolic risk factors in breast cancer (BC) survivors has not been well described. Thus, we compared risk of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia in women with and without BC. METHODS Women with invasive BC diagnosed from 2005 to 2013 at Kaiser Permanente Northern California (KPNC) were identified and matched 1:5 to noncancer controls on birth year, race, and ethnicity. Cumulative incidence rates of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia were estimated with competing risk of overall death. Subdistribution hazard ratios (sHRs) were estimated by Fine and Gray regression, adjusted for cardiovascular disease-related risk factors, and stratified by treatment and body mass index (BMI). RESULTS A total of 14,942 BC cases and 74,702 matched controls were identified with mean age 61.2 years and 65% non-Hispanic White. Compared with controls, BC cases had higher cumulative incidence rates of hypertension (10.9% v 8.9%) and diabetes (2.1% v 1.7%) after 2 years, with higher diabetes incidence persisting after 10 years (9.3% v 8.8%). In multivariable models, cases had higher risk of diabetes (sHR, 1.16; 95% CI, 1.07 to 1.26) versus controls. Cases treated with chemotherapy (sHR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.11 to 1.38), left-sided radiation (sHR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.13 to 1.48), or endocrine therapy (sHR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.34) continued to have higher diabetes risk. Hypertension risk was higher for cases receiving left-sided radiation (sHR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.02 to 1.21) or endocrine therapy (sHR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.03 to 1.16). Normal-weight (BMI < 24.9 kg/m2) cases had higher risks overall and within treatment subgroups versus controls. CONCLUSION BC survivors at KPNC experienced elevated risks of diabetes and hypertension compared with women without BC depending on treatments received and BMI. Future studies should examine strategies for cardiometabolic risk factor prevention in BC survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiometabolic disease, including cardiovascular disease (CVD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), can result in serious late effects in patients with cancer. Preventing long-term complications in this population is an increasingly important priority in public health and clinical practice. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the role of a healthy lifestyle in the transition from a healthy status to the development of cancer and subsequent CVD and T2D. METHODS The analysis was based on data from the UK Biobank and included 2 subsamples: a cancer-free cohort of 397,136 individuals in the general population and a cancer-prevalent cohort of 35,564 patients with cancer. All participants were 40 to 70 years of age and were free of CVD and T2D at recruitment. A healthy lifestyle that included no current smoking, regular physical activity, a healthy diet, and moderate alcohol consumption and sleep duration were included in a healthy lifestyle index (HLI). RESULTS In the cancer-free cohort, during a maximum follow-up period of 15 years, 6.38% and 4.18% of patients with cancer developed CVD and T2D, respectively. A healthy lifestyle significantly mitigated the risk for transition from cancer to subsequent CVD and T2D, with HRs per 1-point increment in HLI of 0.90 (95% CI: 0.86-0.94) and 0.84 (95% CI: 0.79-0.89), respectively. In the cancer-prevalent cohort, each 1-point increment in HLI was similarly associated with lower risk for CVD (HR: 0.90; 95% CI: 0.87-0.93) and T2D (HR: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.83-0.91) in cancer survivors. CONCLUSIONS A healthy lifestyle is associated with a slower transition from cancer development to the subsequent development of CVD and T2D. Moreover, among patients with cancer, a healthy lifestyle is associated with lower risk for CVD and T2D. This study highlights the practical benefits of adherence to a healthy lifestyle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for cardiovascular disease. We assessed the burden of potentially modifiable cardiometabolic risk factors (CRFs) among survivors compared with population-matched controls. METHODS Survivors previously enrolled on Pediatric Oncology Group protocols 9404, 9425, 9426, 9754, and DFCI 95-01 from 1996-2001 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma, or osteosarcoma were prospectively assessed for the prevalence of CRFs and compared with an age, sex, and race/ethnicity-matched 2013 NHANES population. We estimated future predicted cardiovascular risk based on general population (e.g. Framingham) and Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) models. RESULTS Compared with NHANES (n=584), survivors (n=164; 44.5% female, median age 28 years [range: 16-38 years]; median 17.4 years [range: 13-22 years] since cancer diagnosis; median doxorubicin dose 300 mg/m2; 30.5% chest radiation) had similar rates of obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, but more pre-hypertension/hypertension (38.4% vs. 30.1%, p=0.044). Survivors had fewer metabolic syndrome features compared with NHANES (2 or more features: 26.7% vs. 55.9%; p<0.001). Survivors were more physically active and smoked tobacco less (both p<0.0001). Therefore, general population cardiovascular risk scores were lower for survivors vs. NHANES. However, with CCSS models, 30.5% of survivors were at moderate risk of ischemic heart disease, and >95% at moderate/high risk for heart failure, with a 9-12% predicted incidence of these conditions by age 50 years. CONCLUSIONS Childhood cancer survivors exhibited similar or better cardiometabolic and lifestyle profiles compared with NHANES, but nonetheless are at risk for future clinically-significant cardiovascular disease. IMPACT Further strategies supporting optimal CRF control are warranted in survivors.

Abstract
Introduction: Radiotherapy may cause valvular (VHD), pericardial, coronary artery disease (CAD), left ventricular dysfunction (LVD), arrhythmias. The risk of radiation induced heart disease (RIHD) increases over time. The current guidelines suggest a screening for RIHD every 5 years in the long-term survivors who had been treated by chest RT. Methods: We reviewed the clinical and instrumental data of 106 patients diagnosed with RIHD. In one group (Group A: 69 patients) RIHD was diagnosed in an asymptomatic phase through a screening with ECG, echocardiogram and stress test. A second group (37 patients) was seen when RIHD was symptomatic. We compared the characteristics of the two groups at the time of RT, of RIHD detection and at last follow-up. Results: Overall, 64 patients (60%) had CAD (associated to other RIHD in 18); 39 (36.7%) had LVD (isolated in 20); 24 (22.6%) had VHD (isolated in 10 cases). The interval between the last negative test and the diagnosis of moderate or severe RIHD was <5 years in 26 patients, and <4 years in 18. In group A, 63% of the patients with CAD had silent ischemia. The two groups did not differ with regard to type of tumor, cardiovascular risk factors, use of anthracycline-based chemotherapy, age at RT treatment, radiation dose and interval between RT and toxicity detection. The mean time from RT and RIHD was 16 years in group A and 15 in group B. Interventional therapy at RIHD diagnosis was more frequent in group B (54 vs. 30%, p < 0.05). At last follow-up, 27 patients had died (12 of cancer, 9 of cardiac causes, 6 of other causes); mean ejection fraction was 60% in group A and 50% in group B (p < 0.01). Patients with ejection fraction ≤ 50% were 14.5% in group A and 40% in group B (p < 0.01). Conclusions: Clinically relevant RIHD become evident at a mean interval of 16 years after RT. The most frequent clinical manifestations are CAD and LVD. RIHD diagnosis in asymptomatic patients may preserve their cardiac function with timely interventions. We suggest -after 10 years from radiotherapy- a screening every 2–3 years.
