Abstract
There are an estimated 650,00 survivors of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancers in the United States, a number that is expected to markedly increase in the coming decades. The recognition of the potential for some cancer treatments to affect the health of patients for many years after the initial diagnosis has prompted investigators to examine the evolving burden of late morbidity and mortality in AYAs with cancer after treatment completion. Studies in large international cohorts of AYA cancer survivors have now shown that the burden of late effects in survivors treated during the past four decades is substantial, affecting the health and well-being of the survivor, health systems' preparedness to meet their health care needs in the future, and societal economic costs that are largely affected by loss of productivity. We highlight the unique considerations for AYA cancer survivors, identify gaps in knowledge for future research, and provide an overview of emerging efforts to mitigate late effects in these survivors. Ongoing multidisciplinary bench-to-bedside collaborations are critical to understanding the biology of late effects in AYA cancer survivors and to developing personalized interventions to mitigate them. The growing population of AYA cancer survivors makes it imperative that these efforts extend across the cancer care continuum, which will allow survivors to ultimately live to their fullest potential.

Abstract
High-dose chemotherapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (HDT-ASCT) is the preferred treatment option in relapsed or refractory Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). We analyzed the association between treatment intensity and health-related quality of life (HRQoL), depressive symptoms, and chronic fatigue (CF) in long-term survivors of HL (HLS), identified in two population-based national cross-sectional studies on late adverse effects. We included 375 HLS treated between 1987 and 2006, 264 with conventional therapy only, and 111 with HDT-ASCT. Despite similar differences to the matched general population, when controlling for other imbalances between the groups, use of HDT-ASCT was not associated with poorer outcome in multivariable analysis. However, work participation, family income, comorbidities, and lifestyle factors had stronger associations with aspects of HRQoL, depressive symptoms, and CF. Our data suggest that better rehabilitation to work participation and adequate income as well as follow-up for comorbidities may reduce differences in long-term outcome after treatment for HL.

Reproductive ability in survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult Hodgkin lymphoma: a review. Hum Reprod Update 2023:7034966. [PMID: 36779325 DOI: 10.1093/humupd/dmad002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Revised: 12/21/2022] [Indexed: 02/14/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Owing to a growing number of young and adolescent Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors, awareness of (long-term) adverse effects of anticancer treatment increases. The risk of impaired reproductive ability is of great concern given its impact on quality of life. There is currently no review available on fertility after childhood HL treatment. OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE The aim of this narrative review was to summarize existing literature on different aspects of reproductive function in male and female childhood, adolescent, and young adult HL survivors. SEARCH METHODS PubMed and EMBASE were searched for articles evaluating fertility in both male and female HL survivors aged <25 years at diagnosis. In females, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), antral follicle count, premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), acute ovarian failure, menstrual cycle, FSH, and pregnancy/live births were evaluated. In males, semen-analysis, serum FSH, inhibin B, LH, testosterone, and reports on pregnancy/live births were included. There was profound heterogeneity among studies and a lack of control groups; therefore, no meta-analyses could be performed. Results were presented descriptively and the quality of studies was not assessed individually. OUTCOMES After screening, 75 articles reporting on reproductive markers in childhood or adolescent HL survivors were included. Forty-one papers reported on 5057 female HL survivors. The incidence of POI was 6-34% (median 9%; seven studies). Signs of diminished ovarian reserve or impaired ovarian function were frequently seen (low AMH 55-59%; median 57%; two studies. elevated FSH 17-100%; median 53%; seven studies). Most survivors had regular menstrual cycles. Fifty-one studies assessed fertility in 1903 male HL survivors. Post-treatment azoospermia was highly prevalent (33-100%; median 75%; 29 studies). Long-term follow-up data were limited, but reports on recovery of semen up to 12 years post-treatment exist. FSH levels were often elevated with low inhibin B (elevated FSH 0-100%; median 51.5%; 26 studies. low inhibin B 19-50%; median 45%; three studies). LH and testosterone levels were less evidently affected (elevated LH 0-57%, median 17%; 21 studies and low testosterone 0-43%; median 6%; 15 studies). In both sexes, impaired reproductive ability was associated with a higher dose of cumulative chemotherapeutic agents and pelvic radiotherapy. The presence of abnormal markers before treatment indicated that the disease itself may also negatively affect reproductive function (Females: AMH<p10 9%; one study and Males: azoospermia 0-50%; median 10%; six studies). Reports on chance to achieve pregnancy during survivorship are reassuring, although studies had their limitations and the results are difficult to evaluate. In the end, a diminished ovarian reserve does not exclude the chance of a live birth, and males with aberrant markers may still be able to conceive. WIDER IMPLICATIONS This review substantiates the negative effect of HL treatment on gonadal function and therefore young HL survivors should be counseled regarding their future reproductive life, and fertility preservation should be considered. The current level of evidence is insufficient and additional trials on the effects of HL and (current) treatment regimens on reproductive function are needed. In this review, we make a recommendation on reproductive markers that could be assessed and the timing of (repeated) measurements.

Abstract
Background The prevention of subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an essential part of cancer survivorship care. We conducted the present study to investigate the association between the TyG index (a surrogate marker of insulin resistance) and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in cancer survivors. Methods Adult cancer patients, who underwent routine health examinations during 2009–2010 and were survived for more than 5 years as of January 1, 2011, were followed for hospitalization of CVD (either ischemic heart disease, stroke, or heart failure) until December 2020. Cox model was used to calculate hazard ratios associated with baseline TyG index (loge [fasting triglyceride (mg) × fasting glucose (mg)/2]) for the CVD hospitalization. Results A total of 155,167 cancer survivors (mean age 59.9 ± 12.0 years, female 59.1%) were included in this study. A graded positive association was observed between TyG and CVD hospitalization. An 8% elevated risk for CVD hospitalization was observed for a TyG index of 8-8.4 (aHR 1.08 [95% CI 1.01–1.14]); 10% elevated risk for a TyG index of 8.5–8.9 (aHR 1.10 [95% CI 1.03–1.17]); 23% elevated risk for a TyG index of 9.0-9.4 (aHR 1.23 [95% CI 1.15–1.31]); 34% elevated risk for a TyG index of 9.5–9.9 (aHR 1.34 [95% CI 1.23–1.47]); and 55% elevated risk for a TyG index ≥ 10 compared to the reference group (TyG index < 8). Per 1-unit increase in the TyG index, a 16% increase in CVD hospitalization and a 45% increase in acute myocardial infarction hospitalization were demonstrated. Graded positive associations were evident for atherosclerotic CVD subtypes, such as ischemic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, and ischemic stroke, but not for hemorrhagic stroke or heart failure. Conclusions The TyG index may serve as a simple surrogate marker for the risk stratification of future CVD events, particularly atherosclerotic subtypes, in cancer survivors.

Abstract
Classical Hodgkin lymphoma is biologically different than other lymphomas. The cancer cells only occupy a small amount of the lymph node and evade the immune system by amplification of PD-L1 and PD-L2. Therefore, checkpoint inhibitors are a logical treatment option for Hodgkin lymphoma patients to unlock the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors have shown high response rates in clinical trials in advanced-stage Hodgkin lymphoma. The two most commonly used checkpoint inhibitors are pembrolizumab and nivolumab, both FDA approved as third-line therapy. There is increasing interest in the use of checkpoint inhibitors with combination chemotherapy or with other targeted agents in the second-line or even frontline setting. In this review, we will highlight the clinical trials that led to approvals of checkpoint inhibitors for Hodgkin lymphoma.

Late Cardiological Sequelae and Long-Term Monitoring in Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma and Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Survivors: A Systematic Review by the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 14:cancers14010061. [PMID: 35008222 PMCID: PMC8750391 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14010061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2021] [Revised: 11/25/2021] [Accepted: 12/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary The multidisciplinary team of Fondazione Italiana Linfomi researchers conducted a systematic review of the literature (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane database) regarding incidence, comparison between systemic therapies and radiotherapy (RT) (old versus modern techniques), and the better monitoring of long-term classical Hodgkin lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma survivors on late cardiological sequelae. The research focused on patients treated in adulthood and with first- or second-line antineoplastic therapies, including autologous stem cell transplant. Our purpose was to provide an overall and updated picture of the incidence of the phenomenon, the risk factors, and the updated early detection and follow-up strategies. Abstract Cardiotoxicity represents the most frequent cause with higher morbidity and mortality among long-term sequelae affecting classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. The multidisciplinary team of Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) researchers, with the methodological guide of Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche “Mario Negri”, conducted a systematic review of the literature (PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane database) according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, in order to analyze the following aspects of cHL and DLBCL survivorship: (i) incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD); (ii) risk of long-term CVD with the use of less cardiotoxic therapies (reduced-field radiotherapy and liposomal doxorubicin); and (iii) preferable cardiovascular monitoring for left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, coronary heart disease (CHD) and valvular disease (VHD). After the screening of 659 abstracts and related 113 full-text papers, 23 publications were eligible for data extraction and included in the final sample. There was an increased risk for CVD in cHL survivors of 3.6 for myocardial infarction and 4.9 for congestive heart failure (CHF) in comparison to the general population; the risk increased over the years of follow-up. In addition, DLBCL patients presented a 29% increased risk for CHF. New radiotherapy techniques suggested reduced risk of late CVD, but only dosimetric studies were available. The optimal monitoring of LV function by 2D-STE echocardiography should be structured according to individual CV risk, mainly considering as risk factors a cumulative doxorubicine dose >250 mg per square meter (m2) and mediastinal radiotherapy >30 Gy, age at treatment <25 years and age at evaluation >60 years, evaluating LV ejection fraction, global longitudinal strain, and global circumferential strain. The evaluation for asymptomatic CHD should be offered starting from the 10th year after mediastinal RT, considering ECG, stress echo, or coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. Given the suggested increased risks of cardiovascular outcomes in lymphoma survivors compared to the general population, tailored screening and prevention programs may be warranted to offset the future burden of disease.

Abstract
Early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma is a highly curable malignancy, but controversies surrounding treatment recommendations persist due to the sheer number of treatment choices available, as well as the effort to balance risk versus benefit for each individual patient. The gold standard for treatment has evolved over the years. Currently, in the PET era, fine-tuning therapy approaches is largely focused on avoiding giving too much therapy to patients with a negative interim PET and too little therapy to those with a positive interim PET. Careful patient selection for therapy has become increasingly important, as patient risk factors for early-stage disease are variably defined by German Hodgkin Study Group, EORTC, and NCCN criteria.

Abstract
Recent results of randomized phase III studies of FDG-PET-adapted therapy for advanced Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) have clearly demonstrated benefit to alteration of treatment according to interim response, in particular regarding reducing toxicity while maintaining efficacy. However, these studies have differences in design including initial chemotherapy regimen, PET response criteria, patient populations enrolled, and inclusion of radiation, and report different results regarding efficacy and toxicities, which makes cross-trial comparisons difficult. Practitioners are presented with deciding which of these approaches will provide the optimum outcome, balancing toxicity and efficacy, and for which patient with advanced-stage HL. This review summarizes the observations reported from these trials and provides context to help guide physicians and patients in treatment decisions for advanced HL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have adequately addressed long-term survival (>20 years from diagnosis) among survivors of adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancers. METHODS In this retrospective, population-based cohort study in a US integrated health care system, the authors examined cause-specific mortality in 2-year survivors of AYA cancers (patients aged 15-39 years who were diagnosed between 1990 and 2012; N = 10,574) matched (by age, sex, and calendar year) to individuals without cancer (N = 136,683) to determine whether mortality rates changed over time. Incidence rate ratios (IRRs) for mortality were estimated using multivariable Poisson regression. A multivariable Cox model was used to examine predictors of cause-specific mortality among AYA cancer survivors. RESULTS Through December 31, 2014, 1352 deaths were observed among AYA cancer survivors, yielding an overall survival rate of 78.5% at 25 years after diagnosis. Overall, AYA cancer survivors were at 10.4-fold increased risk for death (95% CI, 9.7-fold to 11.2-fold increased risk for death) compared with the matched noncancer cohort, and this risk remained elevated at >20 years after diagnosis (IRR, 2.9; 95% CI, 2.0-4.3). The absolute excess risk for death from any cause was 12.7 per 1000 person-years (95% CI, 11.9-13.4 per 1000 person-years). Starting at 15 years after diagnosis, the incidence of second cancer-related mortality exceeded the rate of recurrence-related mortality, and similar trends were observed for deaths from other health-related conditions. The 8-year cumulative incidence of mortality declined over time (before 2000, 12.6%; 2000-2006, 10.1%; after 2006, 7.3%; P < .001), largely because of declines in recurrence-related mortality. Age, sex, race/ethnicity, cancer stage at diagnosis, and cancer treatment predicted cause-specific mortality. CONCLUSIONS The current data highlight the need for specialized, long-term follow-up care for AYA cancer survivors.

Abstract
Population‐based studies that assess long‐term patterns of incidence, major aspects of treatment and survival are virtually lacking for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) at a younger age. This study assessed the progress made for young patients with HL (<25 years at diagnosis) in the Netherlands during 1990–2015. Patient and tumour characteristics were extracted from the population‐based Netherlands Cancer Registry. Time trends in incidence and mortality rates were evaluated with average annual percentage change (AAPC) analyses. Stage at diagnosis, initial treatments and site of treatment were studied in relation to observed overall survival (OS). A total of 2619 patients with HL were diagnosed between 1990 and 2015. Incidence rates increased for 18–24‐year‐old patients (AAPC + 1%, P = 0·01) only. Treatment regimens changed into less radiotherapy and more ‘chemotherapy only’, different for age group and stage. Patients aged 15–17 years were increasingly treated at a paediatric oncology centre. The 5‐year OS for children was already high in the early 1990s (93%). For patients aged 15–17 and 18–24 years the 5‐year OS improved from 84% and 90% in 1990–1994 to 96% and 97% in 2010–2015, respectively. Survival for patients aged 15–17 years was not affected by site of treatment. Our present data demonstrate that significant progress in HL treatment has been made in the Netherlands since 1990.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Stool Tests for Colorectal Cancer Surveillance in Hodgkin Lymphoma Survivors. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9010190. [PMID: 31936745 PMCID: PMC7019558 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9010190] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/12/2019] [Revised: 01/06/2020] [Accepted: 01/08/2020] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors have an increased colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. Diagnostic accuracy of quantitative fecal immunochemical testing (FIT, OC Sensor) and/or a multi-target stool DNA test (mt-sDNA, Cologuard®) for advanced neoplasia (AN) was evaluated. METHODS 101 HL survivors underwent a surveillance colonoscopy and were asked to perform two stool tests (FIT and mt-sDNA). Advanced adenoma (AA), advanced serrated lesion (ASL), and AN (AA, ASL, CRC) were evaluated. Sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) for AN were calculated for different FIT cut-offs and mt-sDNA with colonoscopy as reference. RESULTS FIT and mt-sDNA were analyzed in 73 (72%) and 82 (81%) participants, respectively. AN was detected in 19 (26%) and 22 (27%), respectively. AN sensitivities for FIT cut-off of 10 ug Hb/g feces (FIT10) and mt-sDNA were 37% (95% confidence interval (CI): 16-62) and 68% (95% CI: 45-86), with corresponding specificities of 91% (95% CI: 80-97) and 70% (95% CI: 57-86), respectively. AUC for FIT was 0.68 (95% CI: 0.54-0.82) and for mt-sDNA 0.76 (95% CI: 0.63-0.89). CONCLUSIONS In HL survivors, mt-sDNA showed highest sensitivity but with relatively low specificity for AN. Cost-effectiveness analyses is necessary to determine the optimal surveillance strategy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Childhood cancer survivors are at increased risk of developing subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMNs). We compared survival and clinical characteristics of survivors with SMNs (sarcoma, breast cancer, or melanoma) and a population-based sample of similar first malignant neoplasm (FMN) patients. METHODS We assembled three case series of solid SMNs observed in a cohort of 5-year Dutch childhood cancer survivors diagnosed 1963-2001 and followed until 2014: sarcoma (n = 45), female breast cancer (n = 41), and melanoma (n = 17). Each SMN patient was sex-, age-, and calendar year-matched to 10 FMN patients in the population-based Netherlands Cancer Registry. We compared clinical and histopathological characteristics by Fisher's exact tests and survival by multivariable Cox regression and competing risk regression analyses. RESULTS Among sarcoma-SMN patients, overall survival [hazard ratio (HR) 1.88, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.23-2.87] and sarcoma-specific mortality (HR 1.91, 95% CI 1.16-3.13) were significantly worse compared to sarcoma-FMN patients (foremost for soft-tissue sarcoma), with 15-year survival rates of 30.8% and 61.6%, respectively. Overall survival did not significantly differ for breast-SMN versus breast-FMN patients (HR 1.14, 95% CI 0.54-2.37), nor for melanoma-SMN versus melanoma-FMN patients (HR 0.71, 95% CI 0.10-5.00). No significant differences in tumor characteristics were observed between breast-SMN and breast-FMN patients. Breast-SMN patients were treated more often with mastectomy without radiotherapy/chemotherapy compared to breast-FMN patients (17.1% vs. 5.6%). CONCLUSIONS Survival of sarcoma-SMN patients is worse than sarcoma-FMN patients. Although survival and tumor characteristics appear similar for breast-SMN and breast-FMN patients, treatment differs; breast-SMN patients less often receive breast-conserving therapy. Larger studies are necessary to substantiate these exploratory findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE Estimates of short- and long-term survival for young patients with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) are of considerable interest. We investigated cHL prognosis in the era of contemporary treatment at different milestones during the follow-up. PATIENTS AND METHODS On the basis of a Nordic cohort of 2,582 patients diagnosed at ages 18 to 49 years between 2000 and 2013, 5-year relapse risks and 5-year restricted losses in expectation of lifetime were estimated for all patients and for patients who achieved event-free survival (EFS) for 12 (EFS12), 24 (EFS24), 36 (EFS36) or 60 (EFS60) months. The median follow-up time was 9 years (range, 2.9 to 16.8 years). RESULTS The 5-year overall survival was 95% (95% CI, 94% to 96%). The 5-year risk of relapse was 13.4% (95% CI, 12.1% to 14.8%) overall but decreased to 4.2% (95% CI, 3.8% to 4.6%) given that patients reached EFS24. Relapse risk for patients treated with six to eight courses of bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (BEACOPP) was comparable to that of patients treated with six to eight courses of doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD) despite more adverse risk criteria among patients treated with BEACOPP. Both from diagnosis and if EFS24 was reached, the losses in expectation of lifetime during the following 5 years were small (from diagnosis, 45 days [95% CI, 35 to 54 days] and for patients who reached EFS24, 13 days [95% CI, 7 to 20 days]). In stage-stratified analyses of 5-year restricted loss in expectation of lifetime, patients with stages I to IIA disease had no noteworthy excess risk of death after they reached EFS24, whereas risk remained measurable for patients with stages IIB to IV cHL. CONCLUSION Real-world data on young patients with cHL from the Nordic countries show excellent outcomes. The outlook is particularly favorable for patients who reach EFS24, which supports limited relapse-oriented clinical follow-up.

Interim Functional Imaging Is an Independent Predictor of Progression-free Survival in Advanced Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma - A Real-world Analysis. CLINICAL LYMPHOMA MYELOMA & LEUKEMIA 2018; 19:e71-e79. [PMID: 30292737 DOI: 10.1016/j.clml.2018.08.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2018] [Revised: 07/15/2018] [Accepted: 08/21/2018] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Response-adapted therapy in advanced classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) using interim functional imaging (IFI) is under active investigation. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively examined patients with advanced cHL receiving 2 front-line regimens stratified by IFI results at our institution. Time to endpoint analysis was estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier with log ranks. Cox regression modeling was computed for multivariable analysis. RESULTS A total of 124 patients with advanced cHL with a median follow up of 40.9 months were included. A total of 84 (67.7%) received ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine), whereas the remaining 40 (32.3%) received ABVD/eBEACOPP (escalated bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone). A positive IFI was seen in 36 (29%) patients. The corresponding 3-year progression free survival (PFS) stratified by IFI was 81.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], 70.1%-88.8%) versus 48.3% (95% CI, 30.4%-64.1%) (P < .0001) for patients with negative or positive scan, respectively. Escalation to eBEACOPP from ABVD following a positive IFI resulted in a significantly higher 3-year PFS at 58.7% (95% CI, 0.3-0.79) versus 39.7% (95% CI, 0.18-0.61) respectively (P = .00015). Overall survival (OS) was similar across the groups (P = .44) irrespective of therapy received. At multivariable analysis, IFI was the only predictor of PFS with a hazard ratio of 4.6 (95% CI, 1.9-10.8; P = .0008) whereas therapy escalation had a hazard ratio of 0.66 (95% CI, 0.14-3.4; P = .62). CONCLUSION IFI is an independent predictor of PFS in advanced cHL and can guide therapeutic decisions in the real world. Given the inferior outcome seen in patients with a positive IFI, novel approaches of therapy are warranted.
