Little is known about environmental causes of childhood cancer. This is probably due to the relative rarity of cancer in children. In the United States, cancer incidence in adults is over 20 times greater than cancer incidence in children. The situation is compounded by the fact that two groups of cancers, leukemias and brain and spinal tumors, account for half of all childhood cancers. The rar...
Long-term adverse health conditions, including secondary malignant neoplasms, are common in childhood cancer survivors. Although mortality attributable to secondary malignancies declined over the past decades, the risk for developing a solid secondary malignant neoplasm did not. Endocrine-related malignancies are among the most common secondary malignant neoplasms observed in childhood cancer s...
Background: With the increased survival rates following the treatment of childhood cancer, it becomes equally important that the need for evidence based surveillance of long term effects of cancer therapy is addressed. This includes the risk of development of metabolic syndrome features like obesity, altered lipid and sugar profile, which was attempted in the present study. Materials and Metho...
OBJECTIVE Suicide is one of the causes of late mortality among childhood cancer survivors. The aim of our study was to analyse the risk of suicide among childhood cancer survivors compared with that of the general population of Slovenia. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study included patients with childhood cancer registered at the Cancer Registry of Slovenia between 1978-2008, with a...
background: in this study, we examined the epidemiologic characteristics of childhood brain tumors in patients referred to mahak pediatric cancer treatment and research center (one of the main national referral centers for childhood malignancies in iran) for treatment. materials and methods: this cohort (simple sampling) study consisted of 198 children less than 15 year old with cns tumor refer...
background: pregnant women are sometimes exposed to ionizing radiation in radiology examinations for various reasons. in such cases, the radiation dose to the conceptus and subsequent risks should be estimated. objective: the purpose of this study was the calculation and presentation of fetal dose and subsequent risks resulted from different x-ray examinations. materials and methods: an analyti...
Building on 40 years of progress in cancer detection and treatment, survival rates for childhood cancers have risen from 20 % to almost 80 % [1,2]. Approximately 270,000 Americans are childhood cancer survivors and, by 2010, an estimated 1 in every 250 adults will be living with a history of childhood cancer [2,3]. The early and late effects of treatment are beginning to take on greater importa...
With the increase in survival from childhood cancer, research has increasingly focused on the educational and professional achievements of childhood cancer survivors. Yet, if large-scale studies provide an acute description of the current situation of childhood cancer survivors, little is known about their trajectories and the social processes shaping these trajectories. Using a qualitative met...
PURPOSE The risk of breast cancer is high in women treated for a childhood cancer with chest irradiation. We sought to examine variations in risk resulting from irradiation field and radiation dose. PATIENTS AND METHODS We evaluated cumulative breast cancer risk in 1,230 female childhood cancer survivors treated with chest irradiation who were participants in the CCSS (Childhood Cancer Surviv...
