But our work is not done

All childhood cancers includes all malignant tumours (ICD-10 codes: C00-C97), and all benign, uncertain or unknown behaviour brain, other central nervous
system (CNS) and intracranial tumours (ICD-10 codes: D32-D33, D35.2-D35.4, D42-D43 and D44.3-D44.5).
No significant progress over the last 30 years for

Many central nervous system tumours

Sarcomas

Osteosarcoma

Rhabdomyosarcoma

These tumours account for over 25% of childhood cancer diagnoses

Adolescents and young adults have not seen major improvements in survival
despite progress for children and older adults

How big is the problem?

~40 000 survivors of childhood cancer in Canada

We want these survivors to live for decades

With good quality of life

Without living dependent on a caregiver

Able to achieve educational and vocational goals

Able to have meaningful social and romantic relationships
curesearch.org
We are good at curing childhood cancerbut the price of cure is still too high.

children

So we go from…
brightonteachingenglish.com; kidscancercare.ab.ca
But we are not in the habit of giving up
easily.
kidscancercare.ab.ca/get-involved
We’ve got work to do.
Let’s get started.

First we have to know the extent
of the challenge we are facing

We must also acknowledge that we
fully learn about the late effects of
our treatments decades later

Many treatments have changed
significantly over that time

We are always playing “catch-up”

But there is still much to learn
from our experiences

What are unique aspects of childhood
cancer treatment and survivorship?


It takes a village
Childhood cancer diagnosis and treatment often interferes with development
in the following domains

Social

Educational

Recreational
Children and growing and developing

Exposure of chemotherapy and radiation to tissues which are still maturing carries
different risks

Brain- neurocognition

Heart- myocytes
Childhood Cancer Survivor Study


Retrospective cohort study

10 397 survivors (mean age 26 years)

3 034 siblings (mean age 29 years)
Cardiovascular disease
Most common organ system
affected

62% of survivors had at least one chronic health condition
Sevenfold increase in risk of
cardiac death compared to general
population

Antracycline exposure

27.5% had a severe or life threatening condition

Mediastinal radiation

Cumulative incidence of a chronic health condition was 73.4% at 30 years post
cancer diagnosis, 42.4% for a severe, life-threatening or disabling condition

Young age at treatment

Females higher risk

Important points about cardiovascular
disease for childhood cancer survivors


Long latency between exposure and clinical cardiovascular disease

Sometime years or decades

Screening at risk populations important

5 year survival after heart failure develops is less than 50%
Cardiomyopathy is of particular concern

Coronary artery disease

Valvular abnormalities

Conduction abnormalities

Pericardial disease
Armenian et al. ASCO University 2015 Educational Book
Endocrine Dysfunction


Hypothyroidism- RR 6.6

Thyroid nodules- RR 6.3

Thyroid cancer- HR 9.2

Growth hormone deficiencyHR 5.3

Infertility



Lungs
Consider Pulmonary Function
Testing Surveillance if Hx of:
After survival, one of the most important concerns for adolescent and young
adult cancer survivors

Fertility preservation options are expanding

Bleomycin

Such (non-experimental) options should be offered routinely

Nitrosurea compounds
Risk factors for infertility

Gonadal radiation or radiation to uterus/ovaries/pituitary

Alkylating agents, typically greater than 5-8 g/m2

Tumour/surgical disruption of reproductive structures
Lomustine
Busulfan

Lung radiation

Thoracotomies

Fertility may be preserved, but window for childbearing may be reduced
survivorshipguidelines.org
Carmustine


Premature ovarian failure


1200 cGy or greater
rarehistoricalphotos.com; survivorguidelines.org
Any organ system can be affected

Important to review the patient’s treatment exposure history to determine
what organs are at risk and how to screen

Kidneys- platinum agents, calcineurin inhibitors, high dose methotrexate

Hearing- platinum agents, radiation therapy

Liver- most chemotherapy can be hepatotoxic, graft-versus-host disease

Skin- radiation, many chemotherapy agents

Bone health (osteopenia/osteoporosis/avascular necrosis)- corticosteroids,
methotrexate
survivorshipguidelines.org
Neurocognition

Children are learning and developing

Radiation is a major risk for neurocognitive deficits

Especially children under 3 years of age

Combined with high dose methotrexate, cytarabine or corticosteroids

Brain tumours and neurosurgery are also risk factors

Time in hospital, missed school, family and social time are also important

Family history of learning difficulties and socioeconomic status are important
predictors

PSYCHOLOGICAL LATE EFFECTS OF CHILDHOOD/ADOLESCENT CANCER
Neurocognitive Difficulties Post-Therapy
for Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

CNS prophylaxis is necessary

Data shows mean IQ is in the normal range for those with intrathecal
chemotherapy + systemic therapy (no radiation)

Problems include difficulties with


Psychosocial/QOL
Effects
• Social withdrawal
• Educational
problems
• Relationship
problems
• Under-employment
• Dependent living
Radiation is more toxic with similar efficacy to intrathecal chemotherapy
However, when compared to sibling controls, most studies show significant differences
between survivors and siblings (which may or may not be clinically significant)

Processing speed

Executive function

Attention

Memory (visual, sequencing)

Mathematics, reading

Risk Factors
• Female sex
• Younger age at Dx
• Neuro-cognitive
problems
• Physical Factors
• Low socioeconomic
status

Schulte, University of Calgary
• Family Hx of mental
health challenges
Second Malignant Neoplasms

Topoisomerase inhibitors

Myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myelogenous leukemia (2-3% risk)

Usually within 3 years of exposure

Cyclophosphamide, ifosfamide, nitrosureas, platinums

Depends on dose, field of radiation, sex, age of exposure

Alkylating agents

Myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myelogenous leukemia
Radiation therapy


Skin- particularly non-melanomatous skin cancer

Thyroid

Brain tumours if cranial RT

Colorectal
Depends on dose, field of radiation, sex, age of exposure

Who should care for these survivors?


Risk of breast cancer for adolescent females receiving mantle RT for Hodgkin lymphoma 10-40%
Armenian et al. ASCO University Educational Book 2015
Most Canadian centres have multi-disciplinary survivor clinics
Meningiomas and high grade gliomas
Abdominal RT can confer a risk of colorectal cancer comparable to an inherited predisposition by
the time survivors reach age 50!
Armenian et al. ASCO University Educational Book 2015
Future directions

We need to be able to better predict who will develop toxicities

Not all can follow these survivors indefinitely

Allows for better screening

The number of survivors is outgrowing our current models of care

Ideally allows to choose therapies which do not cause late effects in individuals at
risk

A good problem!

We need to include and engage primary care providers


EXPERIENCE
Radiation Therapy and Second Cancers
Etoposide

Mental Health Disorders
• Depression
• Anxiety
• Post-traumatic
Stress
• Suicidal Ideation
We need to better therapies which cure without acute or late effects
Registries needed

To access survivors to update them with new guidelines/screening
recommendations

To allow for good research to improve outcomes
