Abstract
Aim In addition to the well-known toxicities of treatment, survivors of pediatric solid tumors can also develop other health-related conditions. They may either be an indirect consequence of therapy or could be unrelated to their prior history of malignancy. We aim to evaluate the nontoxicity related health conditions in survivors of pediatric solid tumors. Materials and Methods The study included a cohort of hepatoblastoma (HB), Wilm's tumor (WT), and malignant germ cell tumors (MGCT) survivors registered at pediatric surgical-oncology clinic from 1994 to 2016. Follow-up was done according to standard protocols and children were evaluated at each visit for any health-related conditions. Results Of the survivors, 318 survivors, comprising of 48, 81, and 189 survivors of HB, MGCT, and WT, respectively, were included in the analysis. We found 20.8% of patients with HB, 11.1% of patients with MGCT, and 16.4% of patients with WT to report nontoxicity-related health issues. A high prevalence of surgical conditions (3.4%), secondary malignancies (1.2%), gynecological conditions in girls (16.9%), tuberculosis (1.2%), gallstone disease (0.9%), pelvi-ureteral junction obstruction (0.9%), and neurological issues (0.9%) was noted. Two presumed survivors had died, one due to a late recurrence and the other due to a secondary malignancy. Conclusions A high prevalence of medically or surgically manageable conditions makes it imperative to keep these children under follow-up to address any health-related conditions they may subsequently develop.

Abstract
Key Clinical Message Renal cell carcinoma as a secondary malignant neoplasm is relatively rare; however, the possibility of secondary renal cell carcinoma following chemoradiotherapy for childhood nephroblastoma should be considered. Abstract The occurrence of secondary renal cell carcinoma (RCC) following chemoradiotherapy for nephroblastoma is relatively rare, especially in microphthalmia transcription factor family translocation renal cell carcinoma. A 13-year-old Japanese male was referred to our department for treatment of a right kidney mass. The patient had undergone open left nephrectomy and adjuvant chemotherapy for nephroblastoma, 12 years before. Diagnostic imaging revealed a tumor in the right kidney and a lesion suspected to be metastasis in the left eighth rib. Chromophobe RCC or translocation RCC was suspected from the imaging pattern. TNM classification was cT1aN0M1, and the clinical stage was IV. Partial nephrectomy by robot-assisted surgery for the right renal tumor and resection of the left eighth rib were performed. Pathologically, the renal tumor was diagnosed as translocation RCC, and the rib lesion demonstrated no evidence of malignancy. We are currently undergoing imaging follow-up and the patient has been recurrence-free for 15 months. In this study, we present a rare case of secondary translocation RCC after successful treatment of nephroblastoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both intensity-modulated radiotherapy (RT) and passively scattered proton therapy have a risk of secondary malignant neoplasm (SMN) in children. To determine the influence of RT modality on the incidence of SMN after craniospinal irradiation (CSI), the authors compared the incidence of SMN in children who had medulloblastoma treated with either photon CSI plus an intensity-modulated RT boost (group I) or passively scattered proton CSI plus a boost (group II). METHODS From 1996 to 2014, 115 children with medulloblastoma (group I, n = 63; group II, n = 52) received CSI followed by a boost to the tumor bed. Most patients had standard-risk disease (63.5%). The median follow-up was 12.8 years for group I and 8.7 years for group II. RESULTS The 5-year and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates were 88.8% and 85.1%, respectively, for standard-risk patients and 63.1% and 57.3%, respectively, for high-risk patients, with no OS difference by RT modality (P = .81). Six SMNs were identified (4 in group I, 2 in group II). The 5-year and 10-year SMN incidence rates were 1.0% and 6.9%, respectively (0.0% and 8.0%, respectively, in group I; 2.2% and 4.9%, respectively, in group II; P = .74). Two SMNs occurred in the clinical target volume in the brain, 2 occurred in the exit dose region from the photon spinal field, 1 occurred in the entrance path of a proton beam, and 1 occurred outside the radiation field. There were no reported cases of secondary leukemia. CONCLUSIONS This analysis demonstrates no difference in OS or SMN incidence between patients in groups I and II 10 years after RT. LAY SUMMARY One hundred fifteen children with medulloblastoma received radiotherapy (RT) with either photon craniospinal irradiation (CSI) and an intensity-modulated RT boost (group I; n = 63) or passively scattered proton CSI and a boost (group II;, n = 52). The majority of children had standard-risk disease (63.5%). The 5-year and 10-year overall survival rates were 88.8% and 85.1% for standard-risk patients, respectively, and 63.1% and 57.3% for high-risk patients, respectively, with no difference in overall survival by RT group (P = .81). The 5-year and 10-year second malignant neoplasm incidence rates were 1.0% and 6.9%, respectively, with no difference in second malignant neoplasm incidence according to RT group (P = .74).

Abstract
Case summary A case of nasal adenocarcinoma as a suspected secondary malignant neoplasm
following definitive radiation therapy and multiagent chemotherapy for nasal
lymphoma is described. An 11-year-old spayed female domestic shorthair cat
was presented for a 3-week history of progressive facial swelling located
over the nasal planum and extending to the medial canthus of the right eye.
The cat was previously diagnosed with nasal lymphoma and treated with
chemotherapy and definitive radiation 2.5 years prior. Although a definitive
diagnosis could not be obtained via cytology, recurrent lymphoma was
suspected based on the cat’s history and recurrent clinical signs. A
lymphoma-directed chemotherapy protocol was attempted, but no clinical
response was achieved. The cat was euthanased owing to progressive clinical
signs and a diagnosis of nasal adenocarcinoma was made on necropsy
examination. Both the original diagnosis of nasal lymphoma and the secondary
diagnosis of nasal adenocarcinoma were confirmed with
immunohistochemistry. Relevance and novel information Secondary malignant neoplasm following radiation therapy is infrequently
reported in the veterinary literature. In the few reports that exist, most
have described sarcoma development in the dog following radiation therapy.
In the present report, we describe a cat with a suspected radiation-induced
nasal adenocarcinoma that developed 2.5 years after definitive radiation
treatment for nasal lymphoma.

Abstract
Objectives: Secondary mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) of the head and neck is occasionally observed in childhood cancer survivors. The goal of this research was to compare the demographic and pathologic characteristics, as well as survival between primary and secondary MEC in children and adolescent patients. Methods: Pediatric patients (younger than 19 years old) with surgically treated MEC of the head and neck were retrospectively enrolled at the Affiliated Children's Hospital of Zhengzhou University and divided into two groups based on their cancer history. Demographic, pathologic, and survival characteristics between the two groups were compared. The main study interests were recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and disease-specific survival (DSS). Results: The primary and secondary groups consisted of 63 and 15 patients, respectively. The two groups had similar distributions in terms of age, sex, tumor stage, neck lymph node stage, perineural invasion, lymphovascular invasion, p53, Bcl-2, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, carcinoembryonic antigen, and Ki-67 index. The 10-year RFS rates for the primary group and secondary group were 80 and 71%, respectively, and this difference was not significant (p = 0.464). The 10-year DSS rates for the primary group and secondary group were 83 and 82%, respectively, and this difference was also not significant (p = 0.649). The 10-year OS rates for the primary group and secondary group were 74 and 51%, respectively; this difference was significant (p = 0.023). Further Cox model analysis confirmed the independence of a previous cancer history (p = 0.043) in decreasing OS. Conclusions: Pediatric patients with secondary MEC exhibit similar demographic, pathologic, and molecular characteristics as primary patients but worse OS. These findings indicate that special disease management approaches might be needed for secondary patients.

Abstract
Radiation-associated malignancy and malignant transformation are risks associated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS); however, incidence is uncertain. The purpose of our study is to present the rate of radiation-associated malignancy and malignant transformation at our institution. After IRB approval, we undertook a retrospective cohort study evaluating patients treated with Gamma Knife® or linac-based SRS between 1990 and 2014 for benign CNS pathology with at least 5 years of clinical follow-up. Risk of transformation was calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. A total of 273 patients met selection criteria. Median clinical follow-up after SRS was 11 years (range 5-27). Over 3,216 patient-years following SRS, we found zero cases of radiation-associated malignancy and two cases of radiation-associated malignant transformation for a crude rate of 0.73% or case rate of 0.62 per 1,000 patient-years. The Kaplan-Meier risk of malignant transformation at 5, 10, and 15 years was 0.4% (95% CI 0.05% 2.6%). These data support the continued use of SRS for benign intracranial pathology without significant concern for secondary malignancy.

Abstract
Improving survival rates in children with malignancy have been achieved at the cost of a high frequency of late adverse effects of treatment, especially in intensively treated patients such as those undergoing haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), many of whom suffer the high burden of chronic toxicity. Secondary malignant neoplasms (SMNs) are one of the most devastating late effects, cause much morbidity and are the most frequent cause of late (yet still premature) treatment-related mortality. They occur in up to 7% of HSCT recipients by 20 years post-HSCT, and with no evidence yet of a plateau in incidence with longer follow-up. This review describes the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features and risk factors of the three main categories of post-HSCT SMNs. A wide range of solid SMNs has been described, usually occurring 10 years or more post-HSCT, related most often to previous or conditioning radiotherapy. Therapy-related acute myeloid leukaemia/myelodysplasia occurs earlier, typically three to seven years post-HSCT, mainly in recipients of autologous transplant and is related to previous alkylating agent or topoisomerase II inhibitor chemotherapy. Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders occur early (usually within two years) post-HSCT, usually presenting as Epstein-Barr virus-related B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Abstract
Secondary rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) after treatment of osteosarcoma (OS) is rare. Reported here is the case of a metachronous RMS in the nasal cavity, developing 12 years after successful treatment of non-metastatic OS. The patient was diagnosed as having OS of the femur at 2 years of age. Chemotherapy for OS included doxorubicin (cumulative dose, 488 mg/m(2) ). No radiotherapy was given. There was no family history suggestive of cancer predisposition syndrome. At 14 years of age, alveolar RMS was diagnosed on histopathology. PAX3-FKHR fusion transcripts were detected on reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Germline TP53 mutation was not seen on standard DNA sequencing. The occurrence of secondary sarcomas, in the Children's Cancer Survivor study conducted in North America, has been associated with high cumulative doses of anthracyclines, which may also have played a role in the development of RMS in the present case. In the future, novel molecular technologies might uncover genetic cancer predisposition in patients with metachronous cancers.
