Title: Survivors of Childhood Cancer:
Assessment and Management 00_Schwartz_Titelei 03.02.2005 15:25 Uhr Seite IV
To the memory of those children for whom our knowledge
was insufficient;
to those children who have been cured but must approach adult life
with the residua of treatment;
and to the children of the future
who will benefit from scientific advances that may limit
treatment toxicity
so as to truly approachre cure.

It was not long ago that clinicians would say, “study the late complications of cancer treatments we give to children? You must be joking! We can start worrying about that when we start curing them! Meanwhile, cure must be our only aim.” These practitioners were only partially correct in what seemed to be a glaring truth, for, in fact, increasing numbers of children were beginning to survive their malignancy, and the long-term consequences of therapy would soon be- come critical.
It is well to remember that the delayed conse- quences of a cancer treatment delivered to develop- ing organisms were first studied long ago. It has been 100 years since Perthes reported in 1903 that growth was impaired in juvenile creatures (chicks) that were irradiated [6]. During radiation therapy, strategies to circumvent this problem were set in motion, with the judicious placement of treatment fields as a first step [5].
It was not, however, until the 1940s that chemical agent-induced remissions of childhood leukemia and responses of solid tumors, such as nephroblastoma, were reported [2,3]. The focus, nonetheless, remained the same, and rightly so: namely, finding how best to integrate surgery, radiation and, later, chemotherapy in ways that would cure cancer. As strides were made with increasingly successful combined modality reg- imens, short-term toxicities began to become the ob- ject of study, and soon they were identified. Contin- ued advances in treatment resulted in dramatic in- creases in long-term survival, drawing attention to late effects.
The first large-scale meeting to deal with issues re- lated to toxicity was convened by the National Cancer Institute in 1975 [7]. Pediatric oncology had not been idle prior to this, of course, as several papers present-
ed at the 1975 meeting revealed. Among them was one based on data collected by the Late Effects Study Group, an international consortium that consisted initially of five, then ten, pediatric centers. This was the first large scale, cooperative unit of its kind, or- ganized specifically for the purpose of studying the late effects of cancer therapy (the study of delayed complications had been included as part of the orig- inal design in the National Wilms Tumor Study launched in 1969) [1]. These historical notes demon- strate that the epidemiologic, statistical and record- keeping mechanisms necessary for studying long- term survivors effectively were in the process of be- ing established decades before the meeting in 1975.
History is fine, but one may still wonder: why should we study the late effects that might follow treatment of children 30 years ago? Those treatments are now antiquated, if not obsolete. The answer is that these patients must be followed for a lifetime to as- certain the true late effects of their therapies, and this is important regardless of what is being used today.
The reason is because, even though treatments have been refined, it does not follow that the lower doses of radiation therapy or of the various chemotherapeutic agents currently used are free of potential late effects.
Consider the cardiotoxic anthracyclines, for example.
While it is true that no congestive heart failure ex- cesses have been noted in patients given the current low doses of doxorubicin specified in certain current Wilms tumor treatment regimens [4], the follow-up of these patients is relatively short, a maximum of twenty years. What will happen in the next twenty years? Will 40-, 50- and 60-year olds who received therapy decades before show latent damage?
The evolution of late effect studies has been ex- tremely useful in working out in considerable detail

practical and efficient research methods and tech- niques. Just as the treatments used in the past and those currently used have benefited from the early studies, so, too, will future treatments benefit from current studies. It is very likely that in the future many of the therapies will be completely new or very different from any currently in the armamentarium.
The established epidemiologic and statistical tech- niques used to measure outcomes, and the means of tracking long-term survivors for late follow-up ex- aminations, will be invaluable as the years roll by.
For, no matter how new the treatments, it is likely that there will always be side effects, at least until the ulti- mate discovery of the “magic bullets” that affect sin- gularly and precisely only the malignant cells, leaving nearby normal cells unscathed.
Let us not lose sight of the reason these studies are pursued: it is to inform the survivors themselves and their families of what to expect as the years go by.
This volume brings together relevant invaluable ma- terial in a practical, easily understood form, with in- formation extracted from the thousands of articles dealing with the chronic adversities of therapy. A re- cent survey showed that more than twenty-five hun- dred articles concerned with late effects have been published in the last five years alone. The readers of this volume, therefore, owe the editors a debt of grat- itude for enlisting the multi-disciplinary array of contributing authors. Physicians, nurses, experts from other professions and lay persons all have as- sisted in condensing and bringing order out of this very complex matrix of information. These outstand- ing authorities offer up-to-date information on many different topics related to the late effects of juvenile cancer treatments. Together, they afford the reader a comprehensive, definitive overview of this com- pelling aspect of pediatric oncology.
The ultimate goal of pediatric oncology has been – and remains – to ensure not only the health, but also the psychosocial and economic well-being of chil- dren cured of malignant diseases. Parents have ques- tions concerning all these issues, and what the future holds for their sons and daughters. So do the young men and women who themselves were treated suc- cessfully for cancer years before.
This book provides answers to their many ques- tions.

Ten years ago we embarked on the mission of creat- ing a text that would foster a more complete under- standing of the long-term toxicity of cancer therapy.
Although progress has been impressive in the last decade, and long-term survivorship programs have been established at most pediatric oncology institu- tions, we still are on a journey toward the goal of optimizing the quality of survival for children with cancer.
Our personal families have matured in the years since the first edition was written. The joy we receive from observing the achievements of our children (Jaffa, Adam, Tali, Jonathan, Sarah, Alysia, Joshua and Daniel) encourage our work to provide all children with the chance for a healthy life, filled with opportu- nity. Our spouses (Howard, Danny and Sally) contin- ue to be the unwavering supports that have enabled this work to proceed. As we have struggled to nurture our children, we are also even more appreciative of the role our own parents (Ruth, Jerry, Catrine, Michael, Mike, Nancy and Louis) have played in our efforts to reach our goals.
Indeed, it is often parents who are the greatest ad- vocates for their children, and this is particularly true
for children with cancer. We may provide advice, but it is they who sit at the bedside after hours during the child’s therapy, and it is they who, once the child is cured, help him or her tackle the world. Their success is now visible in the new cohort of advocates: the sur- vivors themselves. One in 500 young adults had can- cer before the age of 20. These young adults not only support each other, they work together to ensure an even better future for those now affected.
In the previous edition we thanked our own men- tors for teaching us the importance of long-term sur- vivorship and for supporting our efforts. Just as par- ents nurture their children and are proud to watch them engage the future, we are proud to acknowledge our appreciation of the many young physicians, nurs- es, social workers and others who are focused on im- proving the lives of survivors of childhood and ado- lescent cancer. We hope that this second edition of our text will provide them with the background to achieve even greater success. With their collective in- telligence, dedication and caring, we know that chil- dren diagnosed with cancer in the next era can look forward to happier and more productive lives than ever before.
