Psychological status in childhood cancer survivors: a report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study Zeltzer LK; Recklitis C; Buchbinder D; Zebrack B; Casillas J; Tsao JC; Lu Q; Krull KJ Clin Oncol 2009[May]; 27 (14): 2396-404Psychological quality of life (QOL), health-related QOL (HRQOL), and life satisfaction outcomes and their associated risk factors are reviewed for the large cohort of survivors and siblings in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS). This review includes previously published manuscripts that used CCSS data focused on psychological outcome measures, including the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI-18), the Medical Outcomes Survey Short Form-36 (SF-36), the Cantril Ladder of Life, and other self-report questionnaires. Comparisons and contrasts are made between siblings and survivors, and to normative data when available, in light of demographic/health information and abstracted data from the medical record. These studies demonstrate that a significant proportion of survivors report more symptoms of global distress and poorer physical, but not emotional, domains of HRQOL. Other than brain tumor survivors, most survivors report both good present and expected future life satisfaction. Risk factors for psychological distress and poor HRQOL are female sex, lower educational attainment, unmarried status, annual household income less than $20,000, unemployment, lack of health insurance, presence of a major medical condition, and treatment with cranial radiation and/or surgery. Cranial irradiation impacted neurocognitive outcomes, especially in brain tumor survivors. Psychological distress also predicted poor health behaviors, including smoking, alcohol use, fatigue, and altered sleep. Psychological distress and pain predicted use of complementary and alternative medicine. Overall, most survivors are psychologically healthy and report satisfaction with their lives. However, certain groups of childhood cancer survivors are at high risk for psychological distress, neurocognitive dysfunction, and poor HRQOL, especially in physical domains. These findings suggest targeting interventions for groups at highest risk for adverse outcomes and examining the positive growth that remains despite the trauma of childhood cancer.|Adolescent[MESH]|Adult[MESH]|Bone Neoplasms/psychology[MESH]|Brain Neoplasms/psychology[MESH]|Child[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Health Behavior[MESH]|Health Promotion/*methods[MESH]|Health Status[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Kidney Neoplasms/psychology[MESH]|Leukemia/psychology[MESH]|Lymphoma/psychology[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Neoplasms/*mortality/*psychology/therapy[MESH]|Neuroblastoma/psychology[MESH]|Psychological Tests[MESH]|Quality of Life/*psychology[MESH]|Survivors/*psychology[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH]|United States/epidemiology[MESH]|Wilms Tumor/psychology[MESH]|Young Adult[MESH] |
