Use of Sodium Thiosulfate as an Otoprotectant in Patients With Cancer Treated With Platinum Compounds: A Review of the Literature. J Clin Oncol 2024:JCO2302353. [PMID: 38648563 DOI: 10.1200/jco.23.02353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 01/05/2024] [Accepted: 02/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/25/2024] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Hearing loss occurs in 50%-70% of children treated with cisplatin. Scientific efforts have led to the recent approval of a pediatric formula of intravenous sodium thiosulfate (STS) for otoprotection by the US Food and Drug Administration, the European Medicines Agency, and the Medicines and Health Regulatory Authority in the United Kingdom. To inform stakeholders regarding the clinical utility of STS, the current review summarizes available literature on the efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), and safety of systemic STS to minimize cisplatin-induced hearing loss (CIHL). DESIGN A comprehensive narrative review is presented. RESULTS Thirty-one articles were summarized. Overall, systemic STS effectively reduces CIHL in the preclinical and controlled clinical study settings, in both adults and children with cancer. The extent of CIHL reduction depends on the timing and dosing of STS in relation to cisplatin. Both preclinical and clinical data suggest that systemic STS may affect plasma platinum levels, but studies are inconclusive. Delayed systemic administration of STS, at 6 hours after the cisplatin infusion, does not affect cisplatin-induced inhibition of tumor growth or cellular cytotoxicity in the preclinical setting, nor affect cisplatin efficacy and survival in children with localized disease in the clinical setting. CONCLUSION Systemic administration of STS effectively reduces the development and degree of CIHL in both the preclinical and clinical settings. More studies are needed on the PK of STS and cisplatin drug combinations, the efficacy and safety of STS in patients with disseminated disease, and the ability of STS to prevent further deterioration of pre-established hearing loss.

Abstract
Ototoxicity is a devastating direct, irreversible side effect of platinum use in children with cancer, with its consequent effect on speech, language and social development, quality of life and adult productivity. Cisplatin, an essential chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of solid tumors in children, is a DNA cross-linking agent. Which causes hearing loss in 50-70% of cisplatin treated children. Fortunately, to prevent hearing loss, sodium thiosulfate (STS), which binds to cisplatin, and reduces the superoxides in both tumor and outer hair cells of the cochlea has now been discovered to be an effective and safe otoprotectant if administered correctly. The aim of this perspective paper is to explore the key safety issues and challenges important for pediatric oncologists and pharmacists when considering the clinical use of STS as an otoprotectant for children and adolescents receiving cisplatin. These include: the choice of the formulation; the timing, both that of the STS in relation to cisplatin as well as the timing of the cisplatin infusion itself; the dosing; the challenge left by the definition of localized versus disseminated disease and the difference in indication for STS, between cisplatin treated patients and those receiving another platinum chemotherapeutic agent, carboplatin.

Abstract
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is the most common type of hearing loss. Causes include degenerative changes in the sensory hair cells, their synapses and/or the cochlear nerve. As human inner ear hair cells have no capacity for regeneration, their destruction is irreversible and leads to permanent hearing loss. SNHL can be genetically inherited or acquired through ageing, exposure to noise or ototoxic drugs. Ototoxicity generally refers to damage to the structures and functions of the inner ear following exposure to specific drugs. Ototoxicity can be multifactorial, causing damage to cochlear hair cells or cells with homeostatic functions that modulate cochlear hair cell function. Clinical strategies to limit ototoxicity include identifying patients at risk, monitoring drug concentrations, performing serial hearing assessments and switching to less ototoxic therapy. This review was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, using the PubMed® database. The search terms "ototoxicity", "hearing loss" and "drugs" were combined. We included studies published between September 2013 and June 2023, and focused on medicines and drugs used in hospitals. The review highlighted a number of articles reporting the main drug classes potentially involved: namely, immunosuppressants, antimalarials, vaccines, antibiotics, antineoplastic agents, diuretics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics. The presumed ototoxic mechanisms were described, together with the therapeutic and preventive options developed over the last ten years.

Abstract
Importance An estimated 15 000 children and adolescents aged 0 to 19 years are diagnosed with cancer each year in the US, and more than 85% survive for at least 5 years. By 45 years of age, approximately 95% of people who survive childhood cancer will develop a significant health problem related to the childhood cancer diagnosis or its treatment. Observations Approximately 500 000 people currently alive in the US have survived childhood cancer. The most common severe or life-threatening chronic health problems related to childhood cancer or its treatment are endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism or growth hormone deficiency (44%), subsequent neoplasms such as breast cancer or thyroid cancer (7%), and cardiovascular disease such as cardiomyopathy or congestive heart failure, coronary artery disease, and cerebrovascular disease (5.3%). Medical conditions related to a cancer diagnosis during childhood or adolescence are most commonly caused by the radiation therapy and the chemotherapies used to treat cancer and may develop at varying lengths of time after exposure to these treatments. Individuals at highest risk for developing treatment-related health problems include patients with brain cancer treated with cranial irradiation (approximately 70% develop severe or life-threatening health problems) and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients (approximately 60% develop severe or life-threatening health problems). Individuals at the lowest risk for developing treatment-related health problems include those who survived solid tumors (such as Wilms tumor) treated with surgical resection alone or with minimal chemotherapy, for whom the prevalence of subsequent health problems is similar to people who did not have cancer during childhood or adolescence. People diagnosed with childhood cancer in the 1990s who survived for at least 5 years after the cancer diagnosis have a shorter lifespan (by about 9 years) vs children who were not diagnosed with cancer in the 1990s. Conclusions and Relevance Approximately 500 000 individuals currently alive in the US have survived childhood cancer. The most common adverse effects in individuals who survived childhood cancer are endocrine disorders, subsequent neoplasms, and cardiovascular disease. There is a need for clinicians and patients to have heightened awareness of these complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE Auditory complications are potential side effects from childhood cancer treatment. Yet, limited evidence exists about the impact of auditory complications-particularly tinnitus-on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among childhood cancer survivors (CCS). We determined the prevalence of hearing loss and tinnitus in the European PanCareLIFE cohort of CCS and examined its effect on HRQoL. METHODS We included CCS from four European countries who were diagnosed at age ≤ 18 years; survived ≥ 5 years; and aged 25-44 years at study. We assessed HRQoL (Short Form 36), hearing loss, and tinnitus using questionnaires. We used multivariable linear regression to examine associations between these two auditory complications and HRQoL adjusting for socio-demographic and clinical factors. RESULTS Our study population consisted of 6,318 CCS (53% female; median age at cancer diagnosis 9 years interquartile range [IQR] 5-13 years) with median age at survey of 31 years (IQR 28-35 years). Prevalence was 7.5% (476/6,318; confidence interval [CI]: 6.9-8.2) for hearing loss and 7.6% (127/1,668; CI: 6.4-9.0) for tinnitus. CCS with hearing loss had impaired physical (coefficient [coef.] -4.3, CI: -7.0 to -1.6) and mental (coef. -3.2, CI: -5.5 to -0.8) HRQoL when compared with CCS with normal hearing. Tinnitus was associated with impaired physical (coef. -8.2, CI: -11.8 to -4.7) and mental (coef. -5.9, CI: -8.8 to -3.1) HRQoL. CONCLUSION We observed reduced HRQoL among CCS with hearing loss and tinnitus. Our findings indicate timely treatment of hearing loss and tinnitus may contribute to quality of life of survivors. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS CCS who experience auditory complications should be counseled about possible therapeutic and supportive measures during follow-up care.

Role of Cisplatin Dose Intensity and TPMT Variation in the Development of Hearing Loss in Children. Ther Drug Monit 2023; 45:345-353. [PMID: 36917731 DOI: 10.1097/ftd.0000000000001085] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/29/2022] [Accepted: 11/30/2022] [Indexed: 03/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin, widely used in the treatment of solid tumors, causes permanent hearing loss in more than 60% of treated children. Previous studies have implicated several clinical factors in the development of ototoxicity, including cumulative cisplatin dose. However, the role of cisplatin dose intensity in the development of hearing loss in children remains unclear. Pharmacogenetic studies have also identified genetic variants in TPMT that increase the risk of cisplatin-induced hearing loss. This study aims to determine whether cisplatin dose intensity contributes to the risk of hearing loss in children and whether genetic variations in TPMT further modifies the risk of cisplatin-induced hearing loss. METHODS The authors genotyped 371 cisplatin-treated children for the presence of any 3 TPMT-risk variants. Patients were categorized into high-, moderate-, and low-intensity cisplatin dosing groups according to the cisplatin dose administered per unit time. Kaplan-Meier curves were plotted to compare the cumulative incidence of hearing loss between the genotype and dose intensity groups. RESULTS Patients receiving cisplatin at high dose intensity experienced significantly higher incidences of ototoxicity than those receiving cisplatin at low dose intensity (P = 9 × 10-7). Further stratification by TPMT genotype revealed that carriers of ≥1 TPMT variants receiving high-intensity cisplatin developed ototoxicity sooner and more often than their wild-type counterparts (93.8% vs. 56.6% at 12 months; P = 5 × 10-5) and noncarriers receiving low-intensity cisplatin (21.2% at 12 months). CONCLUSIONS Cisplatin dose intensity is strongly associated with ototoxicity development in children, and this risk is further increased by the presence of TPMT-risk alleles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for developing long-term adverse health outcomes. To identify the risk of and risk factors for specific health outcomes, well-established cohorts are needed with detailed information on childhood cancer diagnosis, treatment, and health outcomes. We describe the design, methodology, characteristics, and data availability of the Dutch Childhood Cancer Survivor Study LATER cohort (1963-2001) part 1; questionnaire and linkage studies. METHODS The LATER cohort includes 5-year childhood cancer survivors, diagnosed in the period 1963-2001, and before the age of 18 in any of the seven former pediatric oncology centers in the Netherlands. Information on health outcomes from survivors and invited siblings of survivors was collected by questionnaires and linkages to medical registries. RESULTS In total, 6165 survivors were included in the LATER cohort. Extensive data on diagnosis and treatment have been collected. Information on a variety of health outcomes has been ascertained by the LATER questionnaire study and linkages with several registries for subsequent tumors, health care use, and hospitalizations. CONCLUSION Research with data of the LATER cohort will provide new insights into risks of and risk factors for long-term health outcomes. This can enhance risk stratification for childhood cancer survivors and inform surveillance guidelines and development of interventions to prevent (the impact of) long-term adverse health outcomes. The data collected will be a solid baseline foundation for future follow-up studies.

Abstract
Pediatric cancers are relatively rare diseases when considering all types of cancer. Platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents are potent agents against a variety of pediatric malignancies. An important adverse effect of platinum-based agents is the occurrence of hearing loss. This hearing loss can pose a challenge to detect especially if the child is in his early of life. It will also significantly affect the child development of social, pedagogical, and personal dimensions. It is integral to identify incidence of platinum-based ototoxicity and risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing hearing loss in cancer children. We performed a retrospective chart review of 123 pediatric patients who had completed cisplatin and carboplatin therapy for a variety of malignancies. Patients were diagnosed at Princess Nourah Oncology Centre between January 2011 and December 2016, were less than 14 years old at diagnosis. Audiograms were scored using the International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) Boston Scale (0-4), a validated grading system for cisplatin-related hearing loss. Ototoxicity was reported in 16 patients out of 123 with a rate of 13%. The incidence of ototoxicity was highest in CNS tumors such as medulloblastoma (37.5%) and optic glioma (25%). Males were at greater risk for developing hearing loss than females. Cumulative cisplatin dose and addition radiation therapy were also identified as risk factors for development of ototoxicity (P = 0.008). Nature and location of cancer, gender, cumulative dose, and addition of radiation therapy are important clinical biomarkers of cisplatin ototoxicity.

Severity of hearing loss after platinum chemotherapy in childhood cancer survivors. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2022; 69:e29755. [PMID: 35723448 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.29755] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 04/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hearing loss is a potential side effect from childhood cancer treatment. We described the severity of hearing loss assessed by audiometry in a representative national cohort of childhood cancer survivors (CCS) and identified clinical risk factors. PROCEDURE We included all CCS from the Swiss Childhood Cancer Registry who were diagnosed ≤18 age and treated with platinum-based chemotherapy between 1990 and 2014. We extracted audiograms, treatment-related information, and demographic data from medical records. Two reviewers independently assessed the severity of hearing loss at latest follow-up using the Münster Ototoxicity Scale. We used ordered logistic regression to identify clinical risk factors for severity of hearing loss. RESULTS We analyzed data from 270 CCS. Median time from cancer diagnosis to last audiogram was 5 years (interquartile range 2.5-8.1 years). We found 53 (20%) CCS with mild, 78 (29%) with moderate, and 75 (28%) with severe hearing loss. Higher severity grades were associated with (a) younger age at cancer diagnosis (odds ratio [OR] 5.4, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.5-12.0 for <5 years); (b) treatment in earlier years (OR 4.8, 95% CI: 2.1-11.0 for 1990-1995); (c) higher cumulative cisplatin doses (OR 13.5, 95% CI: 4.7-38.8 for >450 mg/m2 ); (d) concomitant cranial radiation therapy (CRT) (OR 4.4, 95% CI: 2.5-7.8); and (e) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) (OR 2.7, 95% CI: 1.0-7.2). CONCLUSION Three of four CCS treated with platinum-based chemotherapy experienced some degree of hearing loss. We recommend closely monitoring patient's hearing function if treated at a young age with high cumulative cisplatin doses, and concomitant CRT as part of long-term care.

Late effects of childhood cancer treatment in long-term survivors diagnosed before the age of 3 years - A multicenter, nationwide study. Cancer Epidemiol 2022; 80:102209. [PMID: 35868173 DOI: 10.1016/j.canep.2022.102209] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/28/2022] [Revised: 06/22/2022] [Accepted: 06/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of age on the incidence of late sequelae that occur after anticancer treatment in childhood is still not fully elucidated. In this multicenter study of long-term survivors diagnosed before age of three, we investigated the prevalence of late effects many years after treatment. METHODS The study group (n = 561) was selected from the Polish National Childhood Cancer Survivors Registry (n = 1761) created in 2007. A survivor was defined as an individual who has survived at least 5 years after completion of anticancer treatment. All children were diagnosed between 1991 and 2016, mean age at diagnosis was 1.82 years (range 0.03-2.99) and median follow up time - 9.85 years (range 5.0-23.6). They were treated in accordance with international protocols approved by the Polish Pediatric Leukemia and Lymphoma Group and Polish Solid Tumor Group. Chemotherapy alone was used in 192 (34.2%), chemotherapy and radiotherapy - 56 (10%), chemotherapy and surgery - 176 (31.4%), chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery - 79 (14.1%), and surgery alone in 58 patients (10.3%). RESULTS Of all patients enrolled to the study, only 94 (16.8%) had normal function of all organs. Seventy-six (13.5%) children developed dysfunction in one organ, another 83 (14.8%) had symptoms or complaints suggestive of dysfunction in two organs or systems, 88 (15.7%) had abnormalities in three organs, and 220 (39.2%) had at least four or more dysfunctions. In the entire study group, dysfunctions most frequently (> 20% of cases) involved the following organs/systems: circulatory - 21.8%, urinary - 30.8%, gastrointestinal - 20.8%, immune - 23.5%, vision - 20.7%, hearing - 21.8%, and oral and masticatory dysfunction - 26.9%. We did not find any significant differences in organ dysfunction between children diagnosed under the age of 1 and those diagnosed at the age of 1-3, except for a lower incidence of thyroid abnormalities (p = 0.007) and the higher prevalence of liver dysfunction in youngest patients. In the subset with longer follow-up period (> 10 years) more frequent thyroid abnormalities (p = 0.019), male (p = 0.002) and female (p = 0.026) gonads dysfunction, as well as musculoskeletal problems (p < 0.001) were observed. Among subjects who received radiotherapy compared to those who did not, short stature (p = 0.001), and dysfunction of the following systems/organs - circulatory (p = 0.049), urinary (p = 0.012), thyroid gland (p < 0.0001), nervous (p = 0.007), immunological (p = 0.002), liver (p = 0.03), dental or chewing difficulties (p = 0.001), hearing (p = 0.001) and musculoskeletal (p = 0.026) were more frequently reported. When multimodal therapy was applied (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery) a higher incidence of short stature (p = 0.007), urinary system disorders (p < 0.0001), thyroid dysfunction (p < 0.0001), hearing loss (p < 0.0001), and skin problems (p = 0.031) were observed. CONCLUSION This study confirms that radiotherapy and some specific toxicity of cytostatics are the most important factors affecting organ function. Apart from a higher incidence of liver dysfunction in the youngest patients, there were no significant differences in organ and system toxicities between children diagnosed under the age of 1 and those diagnosed at the age of 1-3. We have shown that this group requires systematic, careful and long-term follow-up.

Global burden of ototoxic hearing loss associated with platinum-based cancer treatment: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Cancer Epidemiol 2022; 79:102203. [PMID: 35724557 PMCID: PMC9339659 DOI: 10.1016/j.canep.2022.102203] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/17/2022] [Revised: 06/10/2022] [Accepted: 06/12/2022] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Platinum-based chemotherapeutic agents cisplatin and carboplatin are widely used in cancer treatment worldwide and may result in ototoxic hearing loss. The high incidence of cancer and salient ototoxic effects of platinum-based compounds pose a global public health threat. The purpose of this study was twofold. First, to estimate the prevalence of ototoxic hearing loss associated with treatment with cisplatin and/or carboplatin via a systematic review and meta-analysis. Second, to estimate the annual global burden of ototoxic hearing loss associated with exposure to cisplatin and/or carboplatin. For the systematic review, three databases were searched (Ovid Medline, Ovid Embase, and Web of Science Core Collection) and studies that reported prevalence of objectively measured ototoxic hearing loss in cancer patients were included. A random effects meta-analysis determined pooled prevalence (95% confidence intervals [CI]) of ototoxic hearing loss overall, and estimates were stratified by treatment and patient attributes. Estimates of ototoxic hearing loss burden were created with published global estimates of incident cancers often treated with platinum-based compounds and cancer-specific treatment rates. Eighty-seven records (n = 5077 individuals) were included in the meta-analysis. Pooled prevalence of ototoxic hearing loss associated with cisplatin and/or carboplatin exposure was 43.17% [CI 37.93–48.56%]. Prevalence estimates were higher for regimens involving cisplatin (cisplatin only: 49.21% [CI 42.62–55.82%]; cisplatin & carboplatin: 56.05% [CI 45.12–66.43%]) versus carboplatin only (13.47% [CI 8.68–20.32%]). Our crude estimates of burden indicated approximately one million individuals worldwide are likely exposed to cisplatin and/or carboplatin, which would result in almost half a million cases of hearing loss per year, globally. There is an urgent need to reduce impacts of ototoxicity in cancer patients. This can be partially achieved by implementing existing strategies focused on primary, secondary, and tertiary hearing loss prevention. Primary ototoxicity prevention via otoprotectants should be a research and policy priority. An estimated one million people are exposed to chemotherapeutic drugs per year. An estimated half a million cases of hearing loss per year are from chemotherapy. Hearing loss prevalence after exposure to cisplatin and/or carboplatin is 43%. Primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of hearing loss should be prioritized. Ototoxic hearing loss prevention is a global public health priority.

Abstract
Surgery, chemotherapy and radiation have been the mainstay of pediatric brain tumor treatment over the past decades. Recently, new treatment modalities have emerged for the management of pediatric brain tumors. These therapies range from novel radiotherapy techniques and targeted immunotherapies to checkpoint inhibitors and T cell transfer therapies. These treatments are currently investigated with the goal of improving survival and decreasing morbidity. However, compared to traditional therapies, these novel modalities are not as well elucidated and similarly has the potential to cause significant short and long-term sequelae, impacting quality of life. Treatment complications are commonly mediated through direct drug toxicity or vascular, infectious, or autoimmune mechanisms, ranging from immune effector cell associated neurotoxicity syndrome with CART-cells to neuropathy with checkpoint inhibitors. Addressing treatment-induced complications is the focus of new trials, specifically improving neurocognitive outcomes. The aim of this review is to explore the pathophysiology underlying treatment related neurologic side effects, highlight associated complications, and describe the future direction of brain tumor protocols. Increasing awareness of these neurologic complications from novel therapies underscores the need for quality-of-life metrics and considerations in clinical trials to decrease associated treatment-induced morbidity.

Abstract
Recent advances have increased survival rates of children and adults suffering from cancer thanks to effective anti-cancer therapy, such as chemotherapy. However, during treatment and later in life they are frequently confronted with the severe negative side-effects of their life-saving treatment. The occurrence of numerous features of accelerated aging, seriously affecting quality of life, has now become one of the most pressing problems associated with (pediatric) cancer treatment. Chemotherapies frequently target and damage the DNA, causing mutations or genome instability, a major hallmark of both cancer and aging. However, there are numerous types of chemotherapeutic drugs that are genotoxic and interfere with DNA metabolism in different ways, each with their own biodistribution, kinetics, and biological fate. Depending on the type of DNA lesion produced (e.g., interference with DNA replication or RNA transcription), the organ or cell type inflicted (e.g., cell cycle or differentiation status, metabolic state, activity of clearance and detoxification mechanisms, the cellular condition or micro-environment), and the degree of exposure, outcomes of cancer treatment can largely differ. These considerations provide a conceptual framework in which different classes of chemotherapeutics contribute to the development of toxicities and accelerated aging of different organ systems. Here, we summarize frequently observed side-effects in (pediatric) ex-cancer patients and discuss which types of DNA damage might be responsible.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Platinum-based chemotherapeutics play an important role in the treatment of cancer at different levels and are the most cited ototoxic agents when scientific evidence is analyzed. OBJECTIVE To present scientific evidence based on a systematic literature review, PRISMA, in order to systematize information on the ototoxic effects of using antineoplastic drugs. METHODS For the selection of studies, the combination based on the Medical Subject Heading Terms (MeSH) was used. The Medline (Pubmed), LILACS, SciELO, SCOPUS, WEB OF SCIENCE and BIREME databases were used, without restriction of language, period, and location. Evaluation of the quality of the articles was carried out, which included articles with a minimum score of 6 in the modified scale of the literature. The designs of the selected studies were descriptive, cohort, and cross-sectional, which were related to the research objective. RESULTS Three articles were included in this systematic review. The ototoxicity caused by cisplatin alone varied from 45% to 83.3%, while that caused by the use associated with carboplatin varied from 16.6% to 75%. There was a significant variation in the cumulative doses of these antineoplastic agents, both in isolated and in combination. Auditory changes, especially at high frequencies, were evident after completion of treatment. CONCLUSION Auditory changes after the use of platinum-based antineoplastic drugs were found, however, there was an important heterogeneity regarding the frequency of ototoxicity and the cumulative dose of the drugs used.

Abstract
Background Ototoxicity has been reported after administration of aminoglycosides and glycopeptides. Objectives To identify available evidence for the occurrence and determinants of aminoglycoside- and glycopeptide-related ototoxicity in children. Materials and methods Systematic electronic literature searches that combined ototoxicity (hearing loss, tinnitus and/or vertigo) with intravenous aminoglycoside and/or glycopeptide administration in children were performed in PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases. Studies with sample sizes of ≥50 children were included. The QUIPS tool and Cochrane criteria were used to assess the quality and risk of bias of included studies. Results Twenty-nine aminoglycoside-ototoxicity studies met the selection criteria (including 7 randomized controlled trials). Overall study quality was medium/low. The frequency of hearing loss within these studies ranged from 0%–57%, whereas the frequency of tinnitus and vertigo ranged between 0%–53% and 0%–79%, respectively. Two studies met the criteria on glycopeptide-induced ototoxicity and reported hearing loss frequencies of 54% and 55%. Hearing loss frequencies were higher in gentamicin-treated children compared to those treated with other aminoglycosides. In available studies aminoglycosides had most often been administered concomitantly with platinum agents, diuretics and other co-medication. Conclusions In children the reported occurrence of aminoglycoside/glycopeptide ototoxicity highly varies and seems to depend on the diagnosis, aminoglycoside subtype and use of co-administered medication. More research is needed to investigate the prevalence and determinants of aminoglycoside/glycopeptide ototoxicity. Our results indicate that age-dependent audiological examination may be considered for children frequently treated with aminoglycosides/glycopeptides especially if combined with other ototoxic medication.

Abstract
Ototoxicity refers to damage to the inner ear that leads to functional hearing loss or vestibular disorders by selected pharmacotherapeutics as well as a variety of environmental exposures (eg, lead, cadmium, solvents). This article reviews the fundamental mechanisms underlying ototoxicity by clinically relevant, hospital-prescribed medications (ie, aminoglycoside antibiotics or cisplatin, as illustrative examples). Also reviewed are current strategies to prevent prescribed medication-induced ototoxicity, with several clinical or candidate interventional strategies being discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ototoxicity occurs in different percentages in patients after treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy or cranial radiation therapy. The aim of this study was to present our experience in ototoxicity monitoring. MATERIAL AND METHODS A review was made of the registry of paediatric cancer patients referred to the Children's Hearing Loss Unit from 1999 to 2019. RESULTS Of the 46 patients referred to this unit, 41 had received platinum as part of their treatment, 17 patients underwent neurosurgery, and 18 patients received cranial radiation therapy. An anamnesis and otoscopy were performed on all of them, and the monitoring was carried out with tone-verbal audiometry and/or distortion products. Hearing loss was observed in eight patients (21.05% of patients referred for audiological follow-up) as a consequence of the treatment. It was impossible to determine the audiological situation in eight patients at the end of treatment. Hearing aid adaption was necessary in two patients. In coordination with Paediatric Oncology, a change from cisplatin to carboplatin due to bilateral grade two ototoxicity was considered appropriate during treatment in one patient. CONCLUSION Adequate coordination with Paediatric Oncology is essential to carry out active surveillance for ototoxicity and to modify, if possible, the dosage or type of chemotherapy in case hearing is affected. In our experience, and following current recommendations, a pre-treatment assessment is usually performed, as well as monitoring during treatment, at the end of treatment, and annually thereafter due to the risk of a later development of hearing loss.

A prospective study on prevalence and determinants of ototoxicity during treatment of childhood cancer: protocol for the SOUND study (Preprint). JMIR Res Protoc 2021; 11:e34297. [PMID: 35389352 PMCID: PMC9030992 DOI: 10.2196/34297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2021] [Revised: 02/10/2022] [Accepted: 02/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/05/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Some children with central nervous system (CNS) and solid tumors are at risk to develop ototoxicity during treatment. Up to now, several risk factors have been identified that may contribute to ototoxicity, such as platinum derivates, cranial irradiation, and brain surgery. Comedication, like antibiotics and diuretics, is known to enhance ototoxicity, but their independent influence has not been investigated in childhood cancer patients. Recommendations for hearing loss screening are missing or vary highly across treatment protocols. Additionally, adherence to existing screening guidelines is not always optimal. Currently, knowledge is lacking on the prevalence of ototoxicity. Objective The aim of the Study on Prevalence and Determinants of Ototoxicity During Treatment of Childhood Cancer (SOUND) is to determine the feasibility of audiological testing and to determine the prevalence and determinants of ototoxicity during treatment for childhood cancer in a national cohort of patients with solid and CNS tumors. Methods The SOUND study is a prospective cohort study in the national childhood cancer center in the Netherlands. The study aims to include all children aged 0 to 19 years with a newly diagnosed CNS or solid tumor. Part of these patients will get audiological examination as part of their standard of care (stratum 1). Patients in which audiological examination is not the standard of care will be invited for inclusion in stratum 2. Age-dependent audiological assessments will be pursued before the start of treatment and within 3 months after the end of treatment. Apart from hearing loss, we will investigate the feasibility to screen patients for tinnitus and vertigo prevalence after cancer treatment. This study will also determine the independent contribution of antibiotics and diuretics on ototoxicity. Results This study was approved by the Medical Research Ethics Committee Utrecht (Identifier 20-417/M). Currently, we are in the process of recruitment for this study. Conclusions The SOUND study will raise awareness about the presence of ototoxicity during the treatment of children with CNS or solid tumors. It will give insight into the prevalence and independent clinical and cotreatment-related determinants of ototoxicity. This is important for the identification of future high-risk patients. Thereby, the study will provide a basis for the selection of patients who will benefit from innovative otoprotective intervention trials during childhood cancer treatment that are currently being prepared.

Abstract
Purpose This review article summarizes our current understanding of the mechanisms underlying acquired hearing loss from hospital-prescribed medications that affects as many as 1 million people each year in Western Europe and North America. Yet, there are currently no federally approved drugs to prevent or treat the debilitating and permanent hearing loss caused by the life-saving platinum-based anticancer drugs or the bactericidal aminoglycoside antibiotics. Hearing loss has long-term impacts on quality-of-life measures, especially in young children and older adults. This review article also highlights some of the current knowledge gaps regarding iatrogenic causes of hearing loss. Conclusion Further research is urgently needed to further refine clinical practice and better ameliorate iatrogenic drug-induced hearing loss.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ototoxicity is a common adverse event of cisplatin treatment. The authors investigated the development of cisplatin-induced hearing loss (CIHL) over time in children with cancer by age and examined the influence of other clinical characteristics on the course of CIHL. METHODS Data from Canadian patients with childhood cancer were retrospectively reviewed. Hearing loss was graded according to International Society of Pediatric Oncology criteria. The Kaplan-Meier method was applied to estimate the cumulative incidence of CIHL for the total cohort and according to age. Cox regression models were used to explore the effects of independent variables on CIHL development up to 3 years after the start of therapy. RESULTS In total, 368 patients with 2052 audiological assessments were included. Three years after initiating therapy, the cumulative incidence of CIHL was highest in patients aged ≤5 years (75%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 66%-84%), with a rapid increase observed to 27% (95% CI, 21%-35%) at 3 months and to 61% (95% CI, 53%-69%) at 1 year, compared with patients aged >5 years (48%; 95% CI, 37%-62%; P < .001). The total cumulative dose of cisplatin at 3 months (per 100 mg/m2 increase: hazard ratio [HR], 1.20; 95% CI, 1.01-1.41) vincristine (HR, 2.87; 95% CI, 1.89-4.36) and the total duration of concomitantly administered antibiotics (>30 days: HR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.17-2.95) further influenced CIHL development over time. CONCLUSIONS In young children, the cumulative incidence of CIHL is higher compared with that in older children and develops early during therapy. The course of CIHL is further influenced by the total cumulative dose of cisplatin and other ototoxic (co-)medication. These results highlight the need for audiological monitoring at each cisplatin cycle.

Abstract
Progress in therapy has made survival into adulthood a reality for most children, adolescents, and young adults with a cancer diagnosis today. Notably, this growing population remains vulnerable to a variety of long-term therapy-related sequelae. Systematic ongoing follow-up of these patients is, therefore, important to provide for early detection of and intervention for potentially serious late-onset complications. In addition, health counseling and promotion of healthy lifestyles are important aspects of long-term follow-up care to promote risk reduction for physical and emotional health problems that commonly present during adulthood. Both general and subspecialty health care providers are playing an increasingly important role in the ongoing care of childhood cancer survivors, beyond the routine preventive care, health supervision, and anticipatory guidance provided to all patients. This report is based on the guidelines that have been developed by the Children's Oncology Group to facilitate comprehensive long-term follow-up of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors (www.survivorshipguidelines.org).

Abstract
Intensive treatments including high-dose chemotherapy (HDC) with autologous stem cell rescue have improved high-risk neuroblastoma (HRNB) survival. We report the long-term health status of 145 HRNB survivors, alive and disease-free 5 years post HDC. Median follow-up was 15 years (range = 5-34). Six patients experienced late relapses, 11 developed second malignant neoplasms (SMNs), and 9 died. Event-free and overall survivals 20 years post HDC were 82% (95% CI = 70%-90%) and 89% (78%-95%), respectively. Compared with the French general population, the standardized mortality ratio was 19 (95% CI = 8.7-36.1; p < 0.0001) and the absolute excess risk was 37.6 (19.2-73.5). Late effects were observed in 135/145 patients (median = 3 events/patient); 103 had at least one severe event. SMNs arose at a median of 20 years post HDC and included carcinoma (n = 5), sarcoma (2), acute myeloid leukemia (2), melanoma (1), and malignant glioma (1). Non-oncologic health events included dental maldevelopment (60%), severe hearing loss (20% cumulative probability at 15 years), hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia (14%), thyroid (11%), cardiac (8%), and renal (7%) diseases and growth retardation (height-for-age z-score ≤ -2 for 21%). Gonadal insufficiency was near-universal after busulfan (40/43 females, 33/35 males). Severe late effects are frequent and progressive in HRNB survivors needing systematic very long-term follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin is used to treat a wide range of childhood cancers and cisplatin-induced hearing loss (CIHL) is a common and debilitating toxicity. We aimed to address persistent knowledge gaps in CIHL by establishing benchmarks for the prevalence of and risk factors for CIHL. METHODS In this multi-institutional cohort study, children (age 0-14 years), adolescents, and young adults (age 15-39 years) diagnosed with a cisplatin-treated tumour from paediatric cancer centres, who had available cisplatin dosing information, and primary audiology data for central review from consortia located in Canada and the USA were eligible for inclusion. Audiology was centrally reviewed and CIHL graded using the consensus International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) Boston Ototoxicity Scale. We assessed the prevalence of moderate or severe CIHL (SIOP grade ≥2) at latest follow-up and end of therapy, in each demographic, diagnosis, and treatment group and their relative contributions to risk for CIHL. Secondary endpoints explored associations of cisplatin dose reductions and CIHL with survival. We also examined whether cisplatin dose reductions and CIHL were associated with survival outcomes. FINDINGS We included 1481 patients who received cisplatin. Of the 1414 (95·5%) participants who had audiometry at latest follow-up (mean 3·9 years [SD 4·2] since diagnosis), 620 (43·8%) patients developed moderate or severe CIHL. The highest prevalence of CIHL was seen in the youngest patients (aged <5 years; 360 [59·4%] of 606 patients) and those with a CNS tumour (221 [50·9%] of 434 patients), hepatoblastoma (110 [65·9%] of 167 patients), or neuroblastoma (154 [62·1%] of 248 patients). After accounting for cumulative cisplatin dose, higher fractionated doses were associated with risk for CIHL (for each 10mg/m2 increase per day, adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 1·15 [95% CI 1·07-1·25]; for each 50 mg/m2 increase per cycle aOR 2·16 [1·37-3·51]). Vincristine exposure was newly identified as a risk factor for CIHL (aOR 3·55 [2·19-5·84]). Dose reductions and moderate or severe CIHL were not significantly associated with survival differences. INTERPRETATION Using this large, multicentre cohort, benchmarks were established for the prevalence of CIHL in patients treated with cisplatin. Variations in cisplatin dosing confer additive risk for developing CIHL and warrant investigation as a potential approach to decrease the burden of therapy.

Abstract
Ototoxicity and other neurologic toxicities are potential consequences of exposure to common therapeutic agents used during treatment of childhood cancer, including platinum and vinca alkaloid chemotherapy, cranial radiation, surgery involving structures critical to cochlear and neurologic function, and supportive care medications such as aminoglycoside antibiotics and loop diuretics. This article provides an overview of ototoxicity and other neurologic toxicities related to childhood cancer treatment, discusses the challenges that these toxicities may pose for survivors, and presents an overview of current recommendations for surveillance and clinical management of these potentially life-altering toxicities in survivors of childhood cancers.

Abstract
Platinum-based compounds are widely used for the treatment of different malignancies due to their high effectiveness. Unfortunately, platinum-based treatment may lead to ototoxicity, an often-irreversible side effect without a known effective treatment and prevention plan. Platinum-based compound-related ototoxicity results mainly from the production of toxic levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) rather than DNA-adduct formation, which has led to test strategies based on direct ROS scavengers to ameliorate hearing loss. However, favorable clinical results have been associated with several complications, including potential interactions with chemotherapy efficacy. To understand the contribution of the different cytotoxic mechanisms of platinum analogues on malignant cells and auditory cells, the particular susceptibility and response of both kinds of cells to molecules that potentially interfere with these mechanisms, is fundamental to develop innovative strategies to prevent ototoxicity without affecting antineoplastic effects. The n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) have been tried in different clinical settings, including with cancer patients. Nevertheless, their use to decrease cisplatin-induced ototoxicity has not been explored to date. In this hypothesis paper, we address the mechanisms of platinum compounds-derived ototoxicity, focusing on the differences between the effects of these compounds in neoplastic versus auditory cells. We discuss the basis for a strategic use of n-3 PUFAs to potentially protect auditory cells from platinum-derived injury without affecting neoplastic cells and chemotherapy efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin-induced hearing loss (CIHL) is a common and debilitating toxicity for childhood cancer survivors. Understanding provider perspectives is crucial to developing otoprotection studies that are both informative and feasible. Two international trials (ACCL0431 and SIOPEL6) investigated the drug sodium thiosulfate (STS) as an otoprotectant, but definitive interpretation of the findings of these trials has been challenging. Adoption of STS has therefore been uneven, and provider perspectives on its role are unknown. PROCEDURE The Children's Oncology Group (COG) Cancer Control and Supportive Care Neurotoxicity Subcommittee therefore conducted a survey of providers at COG institutions to determine perspectives on pediatric otoprotection practices and research surrounding three major themes: (1) prevalence of routine use of STS with cisplatin-based regimens, (2) application of audiometry to cisplatin therapy, and (3) preferred modalities for otoprotection research. RESULTS Survey respondents (45%, 44/98 surveyed institutions) were of diverse institutional sizes, practice settings, and geographical locations primarily in the United States and Canada. Overall, respondents considered CIHL an important toxicity and indicated strong enthusiasm for future studies (98%, 40/41). Results indicated that while STS was the current or planned standard of care in a minority of responding institutions (36%, 16/44), most sites were receptive to its inclusion in appropriate study designs. Application of audiometry for ototoxicity monitoring varied widely across sites. For otoprotection research, systemic agents were preferred (68%, 28/41) as compared with intratympanic approaches. CONCLUSION These results suggest that pediatric otoprotection trials remain of interest to providers; the emphasis of these trials should remain on systemic and not intratympanic therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cisplatin is a highly effective chemotherapeutic agent against a variety of solid tumors in adults and in children. Unfortunately, a large percentage of patients suffer permanent sensorineural hearing loss. Up to 60% of children and at least 50% of adults suffer this complication that seriously compromises their quality of life. Hearing loss is due to damage to the sensory cells in the inner ear. The mechanisms of cochlear damage are still being investigated. However, it appears that inner ear damage is triggered by reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and inflammation 34. AREAS COVERED We discuss a number of potential therapeutic targets that can be addressed to provide hearing protection. These strategies include enhancing the endogenous antioxidant pathways, heat shock proteins, G protein coupled receptors and counteracting ROS and reactive nitrogen species, and blocking pathways that produce inflammation, including TRPV1 and STAT1 36. EXPERT OPINION Numerous potential protective agents show promise in animal models by systemic or local administration. However, clinical trials have not shown much efficacy to date with the exception of sodium thiosulfate. There is an urgent need to discover safe and effective protective agents that do not interfere with the efficacy of cisplatin against tumors yet preserve hearing 151.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Ototoxicity occurs in different percentages in patients after treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy or cranial radiation therapy. The aim of this study was to present experience in ototoxicity monitoring. MATERIAL AND METHODS A review was made of the registry of paediatric cancer patients referred to the Children's Hearing Loss Unit from 1999 to 2019. RESULTS Of the 46 patients referred to this unit, 41 had received platinum as part of their treatment, 17 patients underwent neurosurgery, and 18 patients received cranial radiation therapy. An anamnesis and otoscopy were performed on all of them, and the monitoring was carried out with tone-verbal audiometry and/or distortion products. Hearing loss was observed in eight patients (21.05% of patients referred for audiological follow-up) as a consequence of the treatment. It was impossible to determine the audiological situation in eight patients at the end of treatment. Hearing aid adaption was necessary in two patients. In coordination with Paediatric Oncology, a change from cisplatin to carboplatin due to bilateral grade two ototoxicity was considered appropriate during treatment in one patient. CONCLUSION Adequate coordination with Paediatric Oncology is essential to carry out active surveillance for ototoxicity and to modify, if possible, the dosage or type of chemotherapy in case hearing is affected. In our experience, and following current recommendations, a pre-treatment assessment is usually performed, as well as monitoring during treatment, at the end of treatment, and annually thereafter due to the risk of a later development of hearing loss.

Abstract
Cancer is the leading cause of death in American children older than 1 year of age. Major developments in drugs such as thiopurines and optimization in clinical trial protocols for treating cancer in children have led to a remarkable improvement in survival, from approximately 30% in the 1960s to more than 80% today. Short-term and long-term adverse effects of chemotherapy still affect most survivors of childhood cancer. Pharmacogenetics plays a major role in predicting the safety of cancer chemotherapy and, in the future, its effectiveness. Treatment failure in childhood cancer-due to either serious adverse effects that limit therapy or the failure of conventional dosing to induce remission-warrants development of new strategies for treatment. Here, we summarize the current knowledge of the pharmacogenomics of cancer drug treatment in children and of statistically and clinically relevant drug-gene associations and the mechanistic understandings that underscore their therapeutic value in the treatment of childhood cancer.

Abstract
Background Tinnitus is a serious late effect of childhood cancer treatment. The aim of this study was to determine the occurrence and risk factors for tinnitus in a national cohort of childhood cancer survivors (CCS). Methods Data were collected within the national Dutch Childhood Oncology Group - Long-Term Effects after Childhood Cancer (DCOG-LATER) cohort by a self-reported health questionnaire among 5327 Dutch CCS treated between 1963 and 2002. Siblings (N = 1663) were invited to complete the same questionnaire. Relevant patient characteristics and treatment factors were obtained from the Dutch LATER database. The occurrence of tinnitus in survivors was compared to siblings. To study the effect of risk factors, multivariate logistic regression models were estimated. Results In total, 2948 CCS and 1055 siblings completed the tinnitus item. Tinnitus was reported in 9.5% of survivors and in 3.7% of siblings (odds ratio [OR] 3.0, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.9-3.1). Risk factors associated with tinnitus in CCS were total cumulative dose cisplatin ≥400 mg/m2 (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.4-4.0), age at diagnosis (≥10 years: OR 2.1, 95% CI 1.6-2.8), cranial irradiation/total body irradiation (TBI; OR 1.9, 95% CI 1.5-2.5), and neuro/ear, nose, throat (ENT) surgery (OR 1.8, 95% CI 1.1-2.9). Fifty-one percent of CCS with tinnitus had received treatment with either cisplatin, cranial irradiation/TBI, and/or neuro/ENT surgery. Conclusions Tinnitus in CCS was present nearly 3 times more often than in siblings. Awareness in CCS previously treated with cisplatin, cranial irradiation/TBI, and/or neuro/ENT surgery is warranted. As only half of affected CCS had a history of these treatments, it seems that other factors might be associated with tinnitus occurrence in this population.

Abstract
Background Data on the long-term effects of prenatal exposure to maternal cancer and its treatment on child development are scarce. Methods In a multicenter cohort study, the neurologic and cardiac outcomes of 6-year-old children born to women diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy were compared with the outcome of children born after an uncomplicated pregnancy. Assessment included clinical evaluation, comprehensive neuropsychological testing, electrocardiography and echocardiography. Results In total, 132 study children and 132 controls were included. In the study group, 97 children (73.5%) were prenatally exposed to chemotherapy (alone or in combination with other treatments), 14 (10.6%) to radiotherapy (alone or in combination), 1 (0.8%) to trastuzumab, 12 (9.1%) to surgery alone and 16 (12.1%) to no treatment. Although within normal ranges, statistically significant differences were found in mean verbal IQ and visuospatial long-term memory, with lower scores in the study versus control group (98.1, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 94.5–101.8, versus 104.4, 95% CI: 100.4–108.4, P = 0.001, Q < 0.001 [Q refers to the false discovery rate adjusted P value], and 3.9, 95% CI: 3.6–4.3, versus 4.5, 95% CI: 4.1–4.9, P = 0.005, Q = 0.045, respectively). A significant difference in diastolic blood pressure was found, with higher values in chemotherapy-exposed (61.1, 95% CI: 59.0 to 63.2) versus control children (56.0, 95% CI 54.1 to 57.8) (P < 0.001, Q < 0.001) and in a subgroup of 59 anthracycline-exposed (61.8, 95% CI: 59.3 to 64.4) versus control children (55.9, 95% CI: 53.6 to 58.1) (P < 0.001, Q = 0.02). Conclusions Children prenatally exposed to maternal cancer and its treatment are at risk for lower verbal IQ and visuospatial long-term memory scores and for higher diastolic blood pressure, but other cognitive functions and cardiac outcomes were normal at the age of 6 years. Clinical trial registration The study is registered at ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT00330447. Cancer treatment including chemotherapy is possible during pregnancy. Children are at risk for lower verbal IQ and visuospatial long-term memory scores. Other cognitive functions and cardiac outcomes were normal at the age of 6 years. We documented ototoxicity in three children exposed to cisplatin. Follow-up until adulthood is recommended.

Abstract
Cisplatin is a widely used anti-cancer drug used to treat a variety of cancer types. One of the side effects of this life-saving drug is irreversible ototoxicity, resulting in permanent hearing loss in many patients. In order to understand why cisplatin is particularly toxic to the inner ear, we compared the hearing loss and cochlear uptake of cisplatin to that of two related drugs, carboplatin and oxaliplatin. These three drugs are similar in that each contains a core platinum atom; however, carboplatin and oxaliplatin are considered less ototoxic than cisplatin. We delivered these three drugs to mice using a 6-week cyclic drug administration protocol. We performed the experiment twice, once using equimolar concentrations of the drugs and once using concentrations of the drugs more proportional to those used in the clinic. For both concentrations, we detected a significant hearing loss caused by cisplatin and no hearing loss caused by carboplatin or oxaliplatin. Cochlear uptake of each drug was measured using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to detect platinum. Cochlear platinum levels were highest in mice treated with cisplatin followed by oxaliplatin, while carboplatin was largely excluded from the cochlea. Even when the drug doses were increased, cochlear platinum remained low in mice treated with oxaliplatin or carboplatin. We also examined drug clearance from the inner ear by measuring platinum levels at 1 h and 24 h after drug administration. Our findings suggest that the reduced cochlear platinum we observed with oxaliplatin and carboplatin were not due to increased clearance of these drugs relative to cisplatin. Taken together, our data indicate that the differential ototoxicity among cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin is attributable to differences in cochlear uptake of these three drugs.

Abstract
Objective To establish the major expressed psychological needs of adult survivors of childhood cancer living in Ireland. Methods Seven focus groups were conducted with adult survivors of childhood cancer and their parents in 2018. Survivors were invited to participate if they were diagnosed with cancer before age 18. Results Thirty‐three participants (15 survivors, 18 parents; 27 female, 6 male) were included. They had experienced a range of haematological and solid tumours. Five themes were generated: (a) Enduring psychological impact on survivors; many survivors experience delayed trauma and mental health crises in adulthood. (b) Enduring psychological impact on family members; parents and siblings have unmet psychological needs relating to the family's experience of cancer. (c) Enduring impact on family dynamics; survivors and parents expressed fear and guilt relating to cancer which impacted on family interactions. (d) Challenges accessing support; psychological support services are inadequate to meet expressed needs. (e) Desired model of care; no single service model appeals to all survivors, and flexibility is required in the delivery of psychological support. Conclusion Adult survivors of childhood cancer and their family members experience enduring psychological effects relating to their diagnosis and treatment. Psychological support services are inadequate to meet the expressed needs of this growing population.

Abstract
PURPOSE Hearing loss is a significant late effect among childhood cancer survivors. Recent guidelines note insufficient evidence to quantify its natural history or risk associated with specific exposures. We examined the long-term incidence and predictors of hearing loss requiring hearing amplification devices (HADs) using population-based health care data. METHODS In Ontario, Canada, HAD costs are subsidized by the Assistive Devices Program (ADP). Ontario children < 18 years of age at cancer diagnosis between 1987 and 2016 were identified and linked to ADP claims. Cumulative HAD incidence was compared between cases and matched controls. Patient, disease, and treatment predictors of HAD were examined. RESULTS We identified 11,842 cases and 59,210 controls. Cases were at higher risk for HAD (hazard ratio [HR], 12.8; 95% CI, 9.8 to 16.7; P < .001). The cumulative incidence of HAD among survivors was 2.1% (95% CI, 1.7% to 2.5%) at 20 years and 6.4% (95% CI, 2.8% to 12.1%) at 30 years post-diagnosis. The 30-year incidence was highest in neuroblastoma (10.7%; 95% CI, 3.8% to 21.7%) and hepatoblastoma (16.2%; 95% CI, 8.6% to 26.0%) survivors. Predictors of HAD in multivariable analyses included age 0-4 years at diagnosis (v 5-9 years; HR, 2.2; 95% CI, 1.4-3.3; P < .001). Relative to no cisplatin exposure, patients receiving < 200 mg/m2 were not at greater risk, unlike those receiving higher cumulative doses. Relative to no cranial or facial radiation, those who had received ≤ 32.00 Gy were at no higher risk, unlike those who had received > 32.00 Gy. Carboplatin exposure was not associated with HAD. CONCLUSION Childhood cancer survivors are at elevated risk for requiring HAD, which continues to increase between 20 and 30 years after diagnosis. Thresholds of cisplatin and radiation exposure exist, above which risk substantially increases. Prolonged monitoring and trials of otoprotective agents are warranted in high-risk populations.

Melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) is a rare infantile tumor that originates from mesenchymal-neuroectodermal cells, the treatment of which uses platinum derivatives that can affect hearing loss. The present study evaluated the long-term effects of ototoxicity following chemotherapy with cisplatin, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, teniposide and adriamycin in a 10-year-old patient after surgical removal of a MNTI tumor at the age of 8 months. Audiometric tests (high-frequency tonal audiometry, speech audiometry, speech acoustics, tympanometry and absorbance measurements) were performed during a 10-year follow-up after receiving chemotherapy. Hearing disorders in the high-frequency range (6,000 to 16,000 Hz range) were demonstrated for both ears, indicating that these may be the long-term effects of chemotherapy with use of platinum compounds during the treatment of infants.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cancer diagnosis in young pregnant women challenges oncological decision-making. The International Network on Cancer, Infertility and Pregnancy (INCIP) aims to build on clinical recommendations based on worldwide collaborative research. RECENT FINDINGS A pregnancy may complicate diagnostic and therapeutic oncological options, as the unborn child must be protected from potentially hazardous exposures. Pregnant patients should as much as possible be treated as non-pregnant patients, in order to preserve maternal prognosis. Some approaches need adaptations when compared with standard treatment for fetal reasons. Depending on the gestational age, surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy are possible during pregnancy. A multidisciplinary approach is the best guarantee for experience-driven decisions. A setting with a high-risk obstetrical unit is strongly advised to safeguard fetal growth and health. Research wise, the INCIP invests in clinical follow-up of children, as cardiac function, neurodevelopment, cancer occurrence, and fertility theoretically may be affected. Furthermore, parental psychological coping strategies, (epi)genetic alterations, and pathophysiological placental changes secondary to cancer (treatment) are topics of ongoing research. Further international research is needed to provide patients diagnosed with cancer during pregnancy with the best individualized management plan to optimize obstetrical and oncological care.

Cancer 2020; 126:1776-1783. [PMID: 31899553 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.32698] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/13/2019] [Revised: 12/10/2019] [Accepted: 12/11/2019] [Indexed: 01/10/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hearing loss is a prevalent late effect among cancer survivors. Despite the significant social costs, there is a noted delay in seeking care and to the authors' knowledge there are limited data regarding the lived experiences of cancer survivors with hearing loss. The objective of the current study was to explore the lived experience of hearing loss in survivors of childhood and young adult cancers to guide survivorship care. METHODS A total of 24 survivors participated in semistructured telephone interviews. Inclusion criteria consisted of a clinical visit at the Adult Long-Term Follow-Up Program at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City between September 2005 and January 2019; exposure to cranial radiotherapy, platinum chemotherapy, or both; and hearing loss as evidenced by clinical notes, use of hearing aids, or audiogram levels consistent with severe ototoxicity. RESULTS Three primary themes emerged from the interviews. First, posttreatment hearing loss is associated with isolation and feelings of exclusion. Second, clinicians play an important role in providing survivors with education regarding hearing loss and hearing aids. Finally, hearing loss for survivors may be deprioritized because it is a reminder of the cancer history and is interpreted within the context of other treatment-related late effects. CONCLUSIONS Clinicians play an important role in initiating the discussion regarding hearing loss with survivors given the importance of hearing in maintaining social relationships, the availability of hearing care interventions, and the invisibility of hearing loss. Education regarding the value of treatment may have implications for how survivors choose to prioritize hearing loss and seek care.

Abstract
PURPOSE Platinum-derived chemotherapy is one of the cornerstones in the treatment of central nervous system tumors in children. We aimed to assess the incidence of hearing loss in children after the exposure to platinum drugs. MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective study of prospectively collected data on children consecutively diagnosed with brain tumors and treated with platinum derivatives at a tertiary referral hospital between January 2006 and December 2015. We analyzed multiples variables, such as: age at diagnosis, tumor location, hydrocephalus, platinum drug type, radiotherapy, and follow-up time. The final sample size was 51 patients. RESULTS The median age at diagnosis was 6 years. The median overall follow-up time was 75 months. The incidence of ototoxicity was 23.5%. Rates of hearing loss with carboplatinum were lower than with cisplatinum. A statistically significant association occurred between the presence of hydrocephalus, radiotherapy exposure, infratentorial tumor location, and ototoxicity after treatment with platinum derivatives. CONCLUSIONS Childhood central nervous system tumors nowadays exhibit improved cure and survival rates. However, the ototoxicity resulting from the chemotherapy treatment may accompany patients for the rest of their lives. This study reveals that this occurrence is not negligible, and the association of radiotherapy and the presence of hydrocephalus can be potentiating factors.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Purpose: to identify and analyze the effects of chemotherapy on the auditory system of children and/or adolescents with cancer treated with cisplatin and carboplatin, assessed through standardized audiological procedures. Methods: studies in Brazilian Portuguese and in English were searched for, as available in the databases Science Direct, PubMed, LILACS, BIREME, Embase, SciELO, Web of Science and Cochrane. The descriptors were: Hearing Loss, Audiology, Child Cancer, Chemotherapy, and Child. Articles with levels 1 and 2 of scientific evidence, published in the last 20 years (1997 to 2017), were considered, of which the audiological results were analyzed, as well as the prevalence of hearing loss in children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Results: 3,625 articles were found, of which only 23 were selected for analysis in the present review. Studies have shown a high incidence of sensorineural hearing loss and decrease or even loss of otoacoustic emissions in children and adolescents with cancer, even after the first dose of chemotherapy drugs, with high frequencies being the most affected. Conclusion: there is evidence that both carboplatin and especially cisplatin from the first doses may impair the hearing of children and adolescents, mainly affecting the cochlear function, thus, the importance of long-term audiological monitoring.

Abstract
Ototoxicity refers to damage of inner ear structures (i.e., the cochlea and vestibule) and their function (hearing and balance) following exposure to specific in-hospital medications (i.e., aminoglycoside antibiotics, platinum-based drugs), as well as a variety of environmental or occupational exposures (e.g., metals and solvents). This review provides a narrative derived from relevant papers describing factors contributing to (or increasing the risk of) aminoglycoside and cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. We also review current strategies to protect against ototoxicity induced by these indispensable pharmacotherapeutic treatments for life-threatening infections and solid tumors. We end by highlighting several interventional strategies that are currently in development, as well as the diverse challenges that still need to be overcome to prevent drug-induced hearing loss.

Genetic variation of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity in non-cranial-irradiated pediatric patients using a candidate gene approach: The International PanCareLIFE Study. THE PHARMACOGENOMICS JOURNAL 2019; 20:294-305. [PMID: 31666714 DOI: 10.1038/s41397-019-0113-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/17/2019] [Revised: 10/07/2019] [Accepted: 10/10/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
Ototoxicity is a common side effect of platinum treatment and manifests as irreversible, high-frequency sensorineural hearing loss. Genetic association studies have suggested a role for SNPs in genes related to the disposition of cisplatin or deafness. In this study, 429 pediatric patients that were treated with cisplatin were genotyped for 10 candidate SNPs. Logistic regression analyses revealed that younger age at treatment (≤5 years vs >15 years: OR: 9.1; 95% CI: 3.8-21.5; P = 5.6 × 10-7) and higher cumulative dose of cisplatin (>450 vs ≤300 mg/m2: OR: 2.4; 95% CI: 1.3-4.6; P = 0.007) confer a significant risk of ototoxicity. Of the SNPs investigated, none of them were significantly associated with an increase of ototoxicity. In the meta-analysis, ACYP2 rs1872328 (OR: 3.94; 95% CI: 1.04-14.03; P = 0.04) and SLC22A2 rs316019 (OR: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.07-2.00; P = 0.02) were associated with ototoxicity. In order to increase the understanding of the association between SNPs and ototoxicity, we propose a polygenic model, which takes into account multiple interacting genes of the cisplatin pathway that together confer an increased risk of ototoxicity.

Abstract
We aimed to provide comprehensive protocols and promote effective management of pregnant women with gynecological cancers. New insights and more experience have been gained since the previous guidelines were published in 2014. Members of the International Network on Cancer, Infertility and Pregnancy (INCIP), in collaboration with other international experts, reviewed existing literature on their respective areas of expertise. Summaries were subsequently merged into a manuscript that served as a basis for discussion during the consensus meeting. Treatment of gynecological cancers during pregnancy is attainable if management is achieved by collaboration of a multidisciplinary team of health care providers. This allows further optimization of maternal treatment, while considering fetal development and providing psychological support and long-term follow-up of the infants. Nonionizing imaging procedures are preferred diagnostic procedures, but limited ionizing imaging methods can be allowed if indispensable for treatment plans. In contrast to other cancers, standard surgery for gynecological cancers often needs to be adapted according to cancer type and gestational age. Most standard regimens of chemotherapy can be administered after 14 weeks gestational age but are not recommended beyond 35 weeks. C-section is recommended for most cervical and vulvar cancers, whereas vaginal delivery is allowed in most ovarian cancers. Breast-feeding should be avoided with ongoing chemotherapeutic, endocrine or targeted treatment. More studies that focus on the long-term toxic effects of gynecologic cancer treatments are needed to provide a full understanding of their fetal impact. In particular, data on targeted therapies that are becoming standard of care in certain gynecological malignancies is still limited. Furthermore, more studies aimed at the definition of the exact prognosis of patients after antenatal cancer treatment are warranted. Participation in existing registries (www.cancerinpregnancy.org) and the creation of national tumor boards with multidisciplinary teams of care providers (supplementary Box S1, available at Annals of Oncology online) is encouraged.

Results from the UK Children's Cancer and Leukaemia Group study of extracranial germ cell tumours in children and adolescents (GCIII). Eur J Cancer 2019; 118:49-57.

Abstract
BACKGROUND For extracranial malignant germ cell tumours (MGCTs) in the UK, the GCII study used carboplatin-based chemotherapy (JEb) and demonstrated equivalent survival to cisplatin-containing protocols. GCIII, a single-arm observational study, used new risk stratification, replaced consolidation chemotherapy with a standard number of cycles and introduced surveillance for all stage I MGCTs. Pure teratomas were registered to understand their natural history. METHODS Patients with MGCTs were stratified to three risk groups - low risk (LR), intermediate risk (IR) and high risk (HR), using stage and prognostic factors. Patients with alpha fetoprotein (AFP) >10,000 kU/L, stage IV disease (except testis <5 years and all germinomas) or stage II-IV mediastinal tumour were classified HR. Stage I tumours (LR) received chemotherapy only if disease progressed. IR and HR patients received 4 and 6 JEB cycles, respectively. Carboplatin dose was calculated using glomerular filtration rate to give an area under the curve of 7.9 ml/m2.min. RESULTS Eighty-six patients with MGCTs were enrolled from 2005 to 2009: 59% female, median age, 5.7 years. Twenty-five patients were LR, 21 IR and 38 HR. Seven LR patients had disease progression; all were successfully treated with chemotherapy. Overall survival (OS) for the whole group was 97%; 5-year event-free survival for JEb-treated patients was 92%, and OS, 95%. JEb was well tolerated with no observed significant hearing or renal side-effects. There was no discernible difference in carboplatin dose whether calculated by body surface area or creatinine clearance. Forty-seven patients with teratoma were managed with surgery and one had malignant transformation. CONCLUSION Carboplatin-based chemotherapy as part of a risk-stratified approach leads to excellent survival in paediatric MGCTs, minimising potential burden of long-term effects.

Abstract
Background Survival rates after childhood cancer now reach nearly 80% in developed countries. However, treatments that lead to survival and cure can cause serious adverse effects with lifelong negative impacts on survivor quality of life. Hearing impairment is a common adverse effect in children treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy or cranial radiotherapy. Ototoxicity can extend from high-tone hearing impairment to involvement of speech frequencies. Hearing impairment can impede speech and language and neurocognitive development. Although treatment-related risk factors for hearing loss following childhood cancer treatment have been identified, the individual variability in toxicity of adverse effects after similar treatment between childhood cancer patients suggests a role for genetic susceptibility. Currently, 12 candidate gene approach studies have been performed to identify polymorphisms predisposing to platinum-induced ototoxicity in children being treated for cancer. However, results were inconsistent and most studies were underpowered and/or lacked replication. Objective We describe the design of the PanCareLIFE consortium’s work packages that address the genetic susceptibility of platinum-induced ototoxicity. Methods As a part of the PanCareLIFE study within the framework of the PanCare consortium, we addressed genetic susceptibility of treatment-induced ototoxicity during and after childhood cancer treatment in a large European cohort by a candidate gene approach and a genome-wide association screening. Results This study included 1124 survivors treated with cisplatin, carboplatin, or cranial radiotherapy for childhood cancer, resulting in the largest clinical European cohort assembled for this late effect to date. Within this large cohort we defined a group of 598 cisplatin-treated childhood cancer patients not confounded by cranial radiotherapy. The PanCareLIFE initiative provided, for the first time, a unique opportunity to confirm already identified determinants for hearing impairment during childhood cancer using a candidate gene approach and set up the first international genome-wide association study of cisplatin-induced direct ototoxicity in childhood cancer patients to identify novel allelic variants. Results will be validated in an independent replication cohort. Patient recruitment started in January 2015 and final inclusion was October 2017. We are currently performing the analyses and the first results are expected by the end of 2019 or the beginning of 2020. Conclusions Genetic factors identified as part of this pan-European project, PanCareLIFE, may contribute to future risk prediction models that can be incorporated in future clinical trials of platinum-based therapies for cancer and may help with the development of prevention strategies.

Abstract
Childhood cancer patients treated with platinums often develop hearing loss and the degree is classified according to different scales globally. Our objective was to compare concordance between five well-known ototoxicity scales used for childhood cancer patients. Audiometric test results (n = 654) were evaluated longitudinally and graded according Brock, Chang, International Society of Pediatric Oncology (SIOP) Boston, Muenster scales and the U.S. National Cancer Institute Common Technology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. Adverse effects of grade 2, 3 and 4 are considered to reflect a degree of hearing loss sufficient to interfere with day-to-day communication (> = Chang grade 2a; > = Muenster grade 2b). We term this “deleterious hearing loss”. A total number of 3,799 audiograms were evaluated. The prevalence of deleterious hearing loss according to the last available audiogram of each patient was 59.3% (388/654) according to Muenster, 48.2% (315/653) according to SIOP, 40.5% (265/652) according to Brock, 40.3% (263/652) according to Chang, and 57.5% (300/522) according to CTCAEv4.03. Overall concordance between the scales ranged from ĸ = 0.636 (Muenster vs. Chang) to ĸ = 0.975 (Brock vs. Chang). Muenster detected hearing loss the earliest in time, followed by Chang, SIOP and Brock. Generally good concordance between the scales was observed but there is still diversity in definitions of functional outcomes, such as differences in distribution levels of severity of hearing loss, and additional intermediate scales taking into account losses <40 dB as well. Regardless of the scale used, hearing function decreases over time and therefore, close monitoring of hearing function at baseline and with each cycle of platinum therapy should be conducted.

[PMID: 30819438 DOI: 10.1016/j.critrevonc.2019.01.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2018] [Revised: 01/08/2019] [Accepted: 01/09/2019] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Tinnitus can occur during and after treatment for childhood cancer. Studies on the occurrence of, and risk factors for tinnitus during and after childhood cancer treatment are scarce. The aim of this study is to get insight into the frequency and risk factors of tinnitus during and after childhood cancer therapy, based on a review of all previously reported literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS Systematic electronic literature searches that combined childhood cancer with different treatments and tinnitus terms were performed in the databases EMBASE, Medline, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Studies were included based on reporting the frequency of tinnitus during and/or after childhood cancer, with 75% of participants being under the age of 25 at time of diagnosis, diagnosed with any type of childhood malignancy and treated with any type of chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. A risk of bias assessment per research question was performed. RESULTS Tinnitus incidence rates were reported up to 15.9 (95% CI 11.8-21.4) during therapy and up to 5.4 (95% CI 4.3-6.9) more than 5 years after diagnosis. The relative risk of developing tinnitus as compared to siblings during and after childhood cancer therapy were reported up to 17.2 (95% CI 11.8-25.0) during therapy and up to 3.7 (95% CI 2.7-5.1) more than 5 years after diagnosis. Independent risk factors for tinnitus development included high dose cranial radiation and platinum based chemotherapy. CONCLUSION The frequency of and risk to develop tinnitus seems to be higher in childhood cancer patients and survivors as compared to the normal population. Regular tinnitus screening before, during and after therapy with standardized questionnaires for early detection seems therefore reasonable in order to identify high-risk patients and eventually develop successful clinical preventive, supportive and management strategies.

Abstract
Childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer survivors treated with platinum-based drugs, head or brain radiotherapy, or both have an increased risk of ototoxicity (hearing loss, tinnitus, or both). To ensure optimal care and reduce consequent problems-such as speech and language, social-emotional development, and learning difficulties-for these CAYA cancer survivors, clinical practice guidelines for monitoring ototoxicity are essential. The implementation of surveillance across clinical settings is hindered by differences in definitions of hearing loss, recommendations for surveillance modalities, and remediation. To address these deficiencies, the International Guideline Harmonization Group organised an international multidisciplinary panel, including 32 experts from ten countries, to evaluate the quality of evidence for ototoxicity following platinum-based chemotherapy and head or brain radiotherapy, and formulate and harmonise ototoxicity surveillance recommendations for CAYA cancer survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study evaluated ototoxicity in locally advanced head and neck cancer patients treated in the CONDOR study with docetaxel/cisplatin/5-fluorouracil (TPF) followed by conventional radiotherapy with concomitant cisplatin 100 mg/m2 on days 1, 22, and 43 (cis100+RT) versus accelerated radiotherapy with concomitant cisplatin weekly 40 mg/m2 (cis40+ART). METHODS Sixty-two patients were treated in this study. Audiometry was performed at baseline, during TPF, before start of chemoradiotherapy, and 1, 4, 8, and 12 months after treatment. RESULTS A complete dataset of audiometric data was available of 12 patients treated with high-dose cisplatin and of 11 patients treated with intermediate-dose cisplatin. Patients in the high-dose group showed significant more hearing loss than in the intermediate group at 4 kHz ([z = 1.98; P = .04] and 8 kHz [z = 2.07; P < .03]). Interindividual variation was high in both groups. CONCLUSION After induction TPF, more ototoxicity was observed in chemoradiotherapy with cis100+RT than after chemoradiotherapy with cis40+ART.
