Background: It is unclear whether late-effect risks among childhood cancer survivors vary internationally. We compared late mortality in the North American Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) and British Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (BCCSS).Methods: Late mortality was assessed among 49 822 5-year survivors of childhood cancer diagnosed before 15 years of age from 1970 to 1999 (CCSS, n = 31 596; BCCSS, n = 18 226) using cumulative mortality probabilities (CM%) and adjusted ratios of the standardized mortality ratio.Results: The all-cause CM% at 10 years from diagnosis was statistically significantly lower in the CCSS (4.7%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 4.5% to 5.0%) compared with the BCCSS (6.9%, 95% CI = 6.5% to 7.2%), attributable to a lower probability of death from recurrence or progression of the primary cancer, with statistically significant differences observed in survivors of leukemia, lymphoma, central nervous system tumors, and sarcoma. However, at 40 years from diagnosis, the CCSS had a greater CM% (22.3% vs 19.3%), attributable to a twofold higher risk of mortality from subsequent malignant neoplasms, cardiac and respiratory diseases, and other health-related causes. Differences increased when assessed by follow-up interval, with the CCSS faring worse as time-since-diagnosis increased. Finally, the gap in all-cause mortality widened more recently, with CCSS survivors diagnosed in 1990-1999 experiencing one-half the excess deaths observed in the BCCSS (ratios of the standardized mortality ratio = 0.5, 95% CI = 0.5 to 0.6).Conclusions: Our findings suggest that US survivors may have received more intensive regimens to achieve sustainable remission and cure, but the cost of this approach was a higher risk of death from late effects. Although the clinical impact of these differences is unclear, our results provide important evidence to aid the discussion of late effects management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Background: Childhood cancer survivors are at risk of subsequent primary soft-tissue sarcomas (STS), but the risks of specific STS histological subtypes are unknown. We quantified the risk of STS histological subtypes after specific types of childhood cancer.Methods: We pooled data from 13 European cohorts, yielding a cohort of 69 460 five-year survivors of childhood cancer. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and absolute excess risks (AERs) were calculated.Results: Overall, 301 STS developed compared with 19 expected (SIR = 15.7, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 14.0 to 17.6). The highest standardized incidence ratios were for malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNST; SIR = 40.6, 95% CI = 29.6 to 54.3), leiomyosarcomas (SIR = 29.9, 95% CI = 23.7 to 37.2), and fibromatous neoplasms (SIR = 12.3, 95% CI = 9.3 to 16.0). SIRs for MPNST were highest following central nervous system tumors (SIR = 80.5, 95% CI = 48.4 to 125.7), Hodgkin lymphoma (SIR = 81.3, 95% CI = 35.1 to 160.1), and Wilms tumor (SIR = 76.0, 95% CI = 27.9 to 165.4). Standardized incidence ratios for leiomyosarcoma were highest following retinoblastoma (SIR = 342.9, 95% CI = 245.0 to 466.9) and Wilms tumor (SIR = 74.2, 95% CI = 37.1 to 132.8). AERs for all STS subtypes were generally low at all years from diagnosis (AER < 1 per 10 000 person-years), except for leiomyosarcoma following retinoblastoma, for which the AER reached 52.7 (95% CI = 20.0 to 85.5) per 10 000 person-years among patients who had survived at least 45 years from diagnosis of retinoblastoma.Conclusions: For the first time, we provide risk estimates of specific STS subtypes following childhood cancers and give evidence that risks of MPNSTs, leiomyosarcomas, and fibromatous neoplasms are particularly increased. While the multiplicative excess risks relative to the general population are substantial, the absolute excess risk of developing any STS subtype is low, except for leiomyosarcoma after retinoblastoma. These results are likely to be informative for both survivors and health care providers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Background Smoking should be particularly discouraged among survivors of childhood cancer, who are at increased risk of adverse effects of the cancer and its treatment. We examined the extent of cigarette smoking, factors associated with being a current smoker, and age at initiation of regular smoking among adult survivors of childhood cancer and compared the survivors' smoking habits with those of the general population. Methods We used data from the British Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (BCCSS), a population-based cohort of 17981 individuals who were diagnosed with childhood cancer between 1940 and 1991 in Britain and had survived for at least 5 years after diagnosis. The 14836 cohort members who were alive and aged 16 years or older up to September 2006 were eligible to receive a mailed questionnaire that ascertained smoking status and other factors. The general population data were from the 2002 General Household Survey in Britain. Logistic regression was used to investigate factors associated with being a current regular smoker and to compare the prevalence of current regular smoking in the study cohort with that in the general population. Cox regression was used to examine associations between explanatory factors and age at smoking initiation. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results Of the 10326 childhood cancer survivors who returned completed questionnaires, 20.0% were current regular smokers and 29.8% were ever regular smokers, whereas in the comparable general population 28.1% were current regular smokers and 48.8% were ever regular smokers. Current regular smoking was more prevalent among survivors of Wilms tumor or Hodgkin lymphoma than survivors of a central nervous system (CNS) neoplasm; in those aged 10-14 years at diagnosis than 0-4 years; in those not treated with radiotherapy; in those in manual occupations; in those who were separated, widowed, or divorced; in those with lower educational attainment; and in those not currently on long-term regular hospital follow-up. Rates of smoking initiation were lower in women; in those treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy; and in those with a third party-completed questionnaire. The rate of smoking initiation was highest among those diagnosed at 10-14 years of age. The odds ratio for being a current regular smoker among the survivors compared with the general population was 0.51 (99% confidence interval [CI] = 0.46 to 0.57). Survivors who smoked, smoked fewer cigarettes per day than smokers in the general population; the difference in the multivariable model was 1.5 fewer cigarettes per day (95% Cl = 1.03 to 1.99). Conclusion The prevalence of smoking varies by subgroup among adult survivors of childhood cancer in the BCCSS but is substantially less overall than that in the general population.
