Neurological hospitalisations in childhood cancer survivors treated before 2001: findings from the French Childhood Cancer Survivor Study cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) have an increased risk of developing late chronic diseases, which can be influenced by the cancer type and its treatment. These chronic diseases can be severe and disabling, typically emerging years to decades after treatment. These deficits negatively impact quality of life, intelligence quotient, and memory.

Methods

We included 5579 childhood cancer survivors (CCS), diagnosed with solid tumours or lymphoma between 1945 and 2000, treated before 2001 and below the age of 21 years at initial treatment. The follow-up period was from 2006 to 2018. Hospitalisation data were o
