Maternal Cardiovascular Outcomes of Pregnancy in Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Survivors.

ABSTRACT: This review focuses on the maternal cardiovascular risk and outcomes of pregnancy in childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors who are achieving survival to their prime reproductive years. Childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors are a growing population and have increasing needs for reproductive care over decades of life. Female cancer survivors have an overall higher risk of maternal cardiovascular events compared to those without a history of cancer. In female cancer survivors with normal cardiac function before pregnancy, the incidence of new heart failure during pregnancy is low. In survivors with cardiotoxicity prior to pregnancy, the risk of heart failure during and immediately after pregnancy is much higher. We recommend cardiomyopathy surveillance with echocardiography before pregnancy for all female survivors treated with anthracyclines and chest radiation. Survivors with cardiotoxicity prior to pregnancy should be cared for by an expert multidisciplinary team, including obstetrics, cardiology, anesthesia, and specialized nursing, among others.

Project description:ImportanceCancer diagnosis and treatment may adversely affect reproductive outcomes among female cancer survivors.ObjectiveTo compare the birth outcomes of adolescent and young adult cancer survivors (AYA [diagnosed at ages 15-39 years]) with those of women without a cancer diagnosis.Design, setting, and participantsThe North Carolina Central Cancer Registry (CCR) was used to identify female AYA cancer survivors diagnosed from January 2000 to December 2013; CCR records were linked to statewide birth certificate files from January 2000 to December 2014 to identify postdiagnosis live births to AYA survivors (n = 2598). A comparison cohort of births to women without a recorded cancer diagnosis was randomly selected from birth certificate files (n = 12 990) with frequency matching on maternal age and year of delivery.Main outcomes and measuresPrevalence of preterm birth, low birth weight, small-for-gestational-age births, cesarean delivery, and low Apgar score.ResultsOverall, 2598 births to AYA cancer survivors (mean [SD] maternal age, 31 [5] years) were included. Births to AYA cancer survivors had a significantly increased prevalence of preterm birth (prevalence ratio [PR], 1.52; 95% CI, 1.34-1.71), low birth weight (PR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.38-1.83), and cesarean delivery (PR, 1.08; 95% CI, 1.01-1.14) relative to the comparison cohort of 1299. The higher prevalence of these outcomes was most concentrated among births to women diagnosed during pregnancy. Other factors associated with preterm birth and low birth weight included treatment with chemotherapy and a diagnosis of breast cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, or gynecologic cancers. The prevalence of small-for-gestational-age births and low Apgar score (<7) did not differ significantly between groups.Conclusions and relevanceLive births to AYA cancer survivors may have an increased risk of preterm birth and low birth weight, suggesting that additional surveillance of pregnancies in this population is warranted. Our findings may inform the reproductive counseling of female AYA cancer survivors.

Project description:BackgroundThis study estimates the prevalence and identifies predictors of psychoactive medication use in adolescent survivors of childhood cancer (aged 12-18 years) and its associations with functional outcomes at young adulthood (aged 18-28 years).MethodsThis retrospective cohort study includes 5665 adolescent survivors of childhood cancer at no less than 5 years postdiagnosis (53.8% male, median age = 15 years, interquartile range [IQR] = 13-16 years) and 921 adolescent sibling controls. Parent-reported psychoactive medication use during adolescence was collected at baseline. After a median of 8 years, functional outcomes and social attainment were self-reported during adulthood (n = 3114, median age = 22 years, IQR = 20-24 years). Multivariable log-binomial models evaluated associations among risk factors, medication use, and adult outcomes.ResultsHigher prevalence of psychoactive medication use was reported in survivors compared with siblings (18.3% vs 6.6%; 2-sided P < .001), with trends for increasing antidepressant and stimulant use in recent treatment eras. After adjusting for cancer treatment and baseline cognitive problems, psychoactive medication use during adolescence was associated with impaired task efficiency (relative risk [RR] = 1.20, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.01 to 1.43) and memory (RR = 1.27, 95% CI = 1.05 to 1.52) during adulthood. Survivors who reported continued use of medications from adolescence to adulthood demonstrated poorer emotional regulation (RR = 1.68, 95% CI = 1.24 to 2.27) and organization (RR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.28 to 2.59) compared with nonusers. Adolescent opioid use was associated with somatization symptoms (RR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.09 to 2.73) during adulthood, after adjusting for cancer treatment and baseline behavioral problems. They were also more likely to not complete college (RR = 1.21, 95% CI = 1.04 to 1.41) or work full-time (RR = 1.60, 95% CI = 1.23 to 2.08) compared with nonusers.ConclusionUse of psychoactive medication is more prevalent among adolescent survivors compared with siblings and does not normalize adult outcomes, as evidenced by poorer functional outcomes during young adulthood.
