Abstract:
e20567 Background: Long-term cancer survivors require comprehensive care. The purpose of this study was to describe how survivorship care fits into oncologists’ clinical time, and characterize long-term cancer survivors’ problems and oncology follow-up care. Methods: We abstracted 18,882 medical records of unique cancer patient visits during 2010 at a major NCI-designated cancer center and then evaluated survivor care for one week in April, 2010 to characterize how oncologists spend their clinical time. Finally, we selected three subgroups from the survivor population (n≈100 each) of survivors at 1-5 years, 6-10 years, and >10 years after diagnosis. We collected demographic data, purpose of visit, cancer-specific information, late and long-term effects, and type of care delivered, including surveillance for recurrence, intervention, prevention, and coordination of care. Results: In the larger group of 18,882, only 14% of survivors were more than 10 years post-diagnosis. Approximately two-thirds of the survivors were women. Breast cancer survivors comprised 38%, and survivors of hematologic malignancies accounted for 21% of the population. During the one week studied, the majority of oncologists' patients (74%) were actively receiving treatment; only 5% of their patients were 5 or more years post-diagnosis. Second or secondary malignancies were noted in 8% of patients. Late and long-term effects were uncommon. Approximately 25% of survivors beyond five years were observed to have late effects due to cancer treatment, most common being fatigue, neurological endocrine, and cardiac. Of the 300 selected survivors, sixty-two percent received only surveillance care during their visit. Only 3% of these patients received an entire array of survivorship care that included surveillance, intervention, co-ordination and prevention. Conclusions: A small proportion of oncologists’ visits were with long-term cancer survivors (5-14%) of whom only 25% had late or long-term effects of cancer treatment so overall very few of office visits were with long-term survivors who had late and long-term complications. All visits involved surveillance for cancer recurrence but there was little focus on prevention, intervention, and coordination of care for cancer survivors.

Abstract:
Advances in early detection and treatment have led to a growing population of female cancer survivors, many of whom are of working age. We examined the relationship between cancer and long-term (>5 years) employment outcomes in a nationally representative sample of working-age women in the United States. Data from nine waves of the Health and Retirement Study were used to examine employment status and weekly hours worked among cancer survivors (n = 483) and women without cancer (n = 6605). We used random slope regression models to estimate the impact of cancer and occupation type on employment outcomes. There was no difference in employment status between cancer survivors and women without cancer at baseline; however, during follow-up, cancer survivors were more likely to be employed than women without cancer (odds ratio (OR) = 1.33, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.11–1.58). Among 6–10-year survivors, professional workers were less likely (OR = 0.40, 95% CI: 0.21–0.74) to be employed than manual workers. Among >10-year survivors, professional workers averaged fewer weekly hours worked (−2.4 h, 95% CI: −4.4–−0.47) than manual workers. The impact of cancer on long-term employment outcomes may differ by occupation type. Identifying the occupation-specific mechanisms associated with the return to work will be critical to developing targeted strategies to promote employment in the growing female cancer survivor population.

Abstract:
e13021 Background: Survival of patients with glioblastoma (GBM) remains poor. However, a small percentage of GBM patients live ≥ 3 years. Relatively little is known about the patterns of care and outcomes of these long term survivors relative to GBM patients with standard or short-term survival. Methods: Nested case-control study of long term survivors (≥ 36 months), short term survivors (≤ 6 months) and standard survivors (> 6 months but < 36 months). Pathology was confirmed in all study subjects by a single neuropathologist. Each long term survivor (LTS) was matched to a short term survivor (STS) and 3 standard survivors (SS) by the well-established prognostic factors, age and postoperative Karnofsky Performance Status. Clinical characteristics, treatment regimens and outcomes were reviewed. Conditional logistic regression models were used to assess potential associations between baseline factors and the probability of long or short term survival. Results: Matching yielded 23 LTS with 23 STS and 69 SS. Patient characteristics are summarized in the table below. Conclusions: Controlling for the well-established prognostic factors of age and performance status, long-term GBM survivors differed significantly from short-term GBM survivors based on tumor location and extent of resection. However, there were no significant differences in baseline factors between long-term survivors versus standard survivors in this analysis. Short-term GBM survivors differed from standard survivors by tumor location and extent of resection. Molecular factors are being assessed in these groups as potential contributors to these survival differences. [Table: see text] [Table: see text]

Abstract:
22 Background: Survivors of adult cancer face lifetime health risks that are dependent on their cancer, cancer treatment exposures, comorbid health conditions, and lifestyle behaviors. A shared care model, including planned and formal transition of the cancer survivor from the oncologist to the primary care physician needs to be established to ensure appropriate care. Methods: As a LIVESTRONG Survivorship Center of Excellence Network member, the Survivorship Program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has established an outpatient clinic at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance to meet the clinical needs of cancer survivors. Before their survivorship-focused clinic appointment, adult cancer survivors are asked to complete a comprehensive survey that includes questions on health care utilization. Results: Between August 2013 to December 2014, 142 clinic patients completed the survey. They were 70.4% female, mean age 48 years (SD 16.3, range 22-83) and 21.1% breast cancer, 30.2% leukemia/lymphoma, and 17.6% reproductive cancer survivors. Patients were a mean of 7.8 years (SD 9.5, range 0-43) from their cancer diagnosis at the time of clinic appointment. 70.4% reported receiving oncology care and 87.3% primary care within the 12 months before their survivorship visit. Forty percent reported more than 12 clinic visits in the past year in which they saw a physician, nurse practitioner or physician assistant compared with 6.5 clinic visits in the general population based on CDC, National Health Care Survey reference data. 41.5% had one or more visits to a hospital emergency or urgent care facility within the last year, compared with 39.4% in the CDC NHCS survey. Conclusions: Cancer survivors seen in a Survivorship Clinic utilize healthcare at a much higher rate than the general population. A shared-care model for cancer survivors, including a delineation of roles and specific points of communication, between the oncologist and the primary care physician may help address issues surrounding over-utilization. A cancer treatment summary and a survivorship care plan may be valuable tools to facilitate this shared care approach.

Abstract:
8 Background: Evidence suggests breast cancer patients can be offered follow-up by family physician without concern of important recurrence–related serious clinical events occurring more frequently or quality of life being negatively affected. This study describes population-based patterns of follow-up care in 5-year recurrence-free young breast cancer survivors to determine factors influencing continued oncology follow-up in Ontario, Canada. Methods: We conducted a retrospective population-based cohort study using cancer registry and administrative data. Women diagnosed with an incident breast cancer aged 20-44 between 1992 and 1999, survived for at least 5 years and recurrence-free for 5 years past diagnosis were identified in the Ontario Cancer Registry. Each survivor was matched to 5 control women with the same calendar year of birth and place of residence in Ontario. We determined outpatient physician visits with primary care, medical, radiation and surgical oncology physicians to investigate trends associated with increasing survivorship and compared visit rates to controls. We used negative binomial regression to investigate factors predicting high utilization of oncology services among survivors after 5-year recurrence survival. Results: We identified 4,581 survivors and 22,898 controls. By year 10, 51% breast cancer survivors were still being followed by an oncologist. In the survivors, fewer physician visits were observed among recurrence-free breast cancer survivors as time increased from diagnosis (Visit Rate Ratio [VRR] =0.95, 95% CI: 0.94, 0.96). Breast cancer survivors diagnosed from 1992-1995 had a higher rate of physician visits than those diagnosed from 1996-1999 (VRR = 1.16, 95% CI: 1.07, 1.25). More oncologist visits were associated with patients visiting a female oncologist (VRR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.09, 1.33) and fewer visits were associated with patients visiting an oncologist who practiced outside of a regional cancer center (VRR = 0.67, 95% CI: 0.58, 0.77). Conclusions: Oncology visits of young breast cancer survivors after 5-year survival were associated with oncologist factors indicating that prolonged oncology follow-up in breast cancer survivors may be driven by practice patterns rather than patients’ needs.

Abstract:
Background: Newer multimodality therapeutic interventions have resulted in dramatic survival rates in childhood cancers. However diverse treatment related morbidities affect the long term survivors. An Endocrine complication comprises 20-40% of these morbidities and affects the hypothalamic pituitary axis, growth, pubertal progression, fertility, bone health and glucose homeostasis. Objectives: The aim of our study was to enumerate and evaluate the frequency of endocrine complications arising as a late effect of treatment in childhood cancer survivors. Risk factors likely to be associated with these complications were also evaluated. Methodology: Retrospective analysis of medical records from the Long Term Endocrine Follow up clinic in the Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine of Queen Mary Hospital was done. Patients with a primary diagnosis of Cancer and Langerhans cell histiocytosis with endocrine sequelae arising from various treatment modalities who have survived 5 years after diagnosis were included in the study. Those who had endocrine complications arising from various treatment modalities for Thalassemia’s, Immunodeficiency’s were excluded from the study Results: 135 cases were included in the study and 27 were excluded. Leukemia and Brain tumor survivors were the majority accounting for 40% and 26.67% respectively. ALL formed majority of leukemia survivors, Medulloblastoma survivors accounted for 50% of brain tumor survivors. Most common endocrine problem was Hypogonadism in 51.1% of cases, followed by growth disturbances in 40%, Thyroid dysfunction in 23% and Hyperlipidemias in 18.5%. Pubertal problems, Central Diabetes Insipidus, Adrenal insufficiency, Obesity, Altered glucose homeostasis were rest of the problems in small frequencies. PHGN (Primary Hypogonadism) was present in 91.3% and mostly in prepubertal males. PHGN was statistically associated with Leukemia survivors with OR-2.06 (1.02- 4.15), p value 0.04. The risk factors associated were exposure to alkylating agents, radiotherapy, TBI prior to transplant. SHGN (Secondary HGN) was statistically associated with Brain tumor survivor OR - 15.8 (1.7-140.5), p value 0.013. Cranial irradiation was the major risk for SHGN. PGV (Poor growth velocity) was the major growth problem.GHD (Growth Hormone Deficiency) had a highly significant association with Brain tumors (p value ˂ 0.0001), and significantly associated when all 3 modalities of treatment given together (p value 0.01). Risk factors for GHD were cranial radiotherapy, exposure to cyclophosphamide and TBI. PH (Primary Hypothyroidism) had highly significant association with craniospinal radiotherapy (p value ˂ 0.0001), and significantly associated with brain tumors. Similar results were observed in patients of CH (Central Hypothyroidism). Hyperlipidemias were present in 18% with no statistical correlation with the type of cancer. Brain tumor survivors had a significant association of GHD, PH, CH, SHGN and CDI. Leukemia survivors had significant association with GHD and PHGN. Conclusions: Endocrine problems are frequent manifestations of late effects of cancer related treatments. Early detection and intervention of these potentially treatable problems could be done through structured long term surveillance. Increasing awareness among health care professionals to anticipate problems in suspected patients and education of patients would optimize health care and quality of life.

Abstract:
Survivors of childhood cancer are a relatively new phenomenon in the medical world. The introduction of treatment protocols in the 1970s started a trend in curing children of cancer that historically had been a death sentence. Under these treatment protocols children were given different treatment regimens based on past research that helped remove cancerous cells from their bodies, but were later found to be the cause of treatment related morbidities years into the future; for most survivors roughly ten to 20 years post treatment. These morbidities, commonly called late-effects, are the prime reason that survivors of childhood cancer need to participate in survivorship care. Survivors of childhood cancer are particularly vulnerable to late-effects because the majority of them receive their treatment at a time when their bodies are still growing and developing. Survivorship care services vary by site, but all maintain the common goals of providing long-term follow up for the survivor and education about the ways in which treatments may affect a survivors’ health as they age. Similar to many other facets of healthcare and medicine, there are many populations who do not participate in survivorship care. The purpose of this research is to identify possible barriers to care, assess the level of impact these barriers have upon the survivor’s potential for participation and provide suggestions as to how these barriers can be mitigated. Additionally, this research highlights areas that need further research and analysis.

Abstract:
The present study examined well-being and the contribution of intimacy and marital satisfaction to well-being in long-term survivors of childhood cancer (LTSCC). In addition, self-esteem, warmth and gregariousness were included to test for mediating effects. 207 adult LTSCC were assessed using the Rand Well-Being measure, Miller's Social Intimacy Scale, the Dyadic Adjustment Survey, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, the NEO-PI Warmth and Gregariousness subscales, and the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (M-C) each of these is a well established and well validated self-report measure. Survivors scores on each of these measures were contrasted with those of a control group of adults who did not have a cancer history (N = 169). Each of the variables, as well as several sociodemographic and medical variables, were utilized in regression and path analyses to determine their ability to predict well-being. LTSCC reported significantly less overall well-being (F = 78.9, p < .000), significantly more anxiety (F = 194.2, p < .000) and depression (F = 1262.3, p < .000), and significantly less positive well-being (F = 18.6, p < .000), health (F = 137.0, p < .000), and self-control (F = 88.3, p < .000) than controls. Survivors reported significantly more intimacy (F = 5.1, p < .01), marital adjustment (F = 5.3, p < .01), self-esteem (F = 216.8, p < .001), warmth (F = 65.2, p < .001) and gregariousness (F = 113.3, p < .001) than controls. LTSCC also had higher scores on the M-C (F = 26.7, p < .001). An omnibus stepwise multiple regression analysis accounting for 27% of the variance, revealed that self-esteem and the interaction of warmth and intimacy were the best predictors of well-being. Group membership was a nonsignificant predictor of well-being. Finally, path analysis was employed and different models "fit" the LTSCC and the controls. The best path model (NET = .94) for the LTSCC indicates that well-being predicts intimacy. The best path model (NET = .98) for the controls, on the other hand, indicates that intimacy predicts well-being. These results are discussed in terms of developmental and social support theories. Interpretations of these results, strengths and weaknesses of the study, and implications for theory, application, and future research are discussed.

Abstract:
As the number of women diagnosed with early stage breast cancer continues to rise, so does the population of long-term breast cancer survivors. Many factors influence the overall outcome of their experience, one of which is the support from their partners. Much has been written on the issues of women with breast cancer, but what is lacking in the literature are the voices of their partners during the long-term survival phase of the disease. The purpose of this study was to conduct a phenomenological study to (1) describe the essential structure of the experience of being a partner of a long-term breast cancer survivor, and (2) compare theme patterns of the partners of long-term breast cancer survivors with those of long-term breast cancer survivors. The sample consisted of seven participants with the average age of 55 years. Time together as partners averaged 25.2 years. The average time since the cancer diagnosis was 9.5 years. The research method consisted of open-ended audiotaped interviews. Colaizzi's eight-step method of analysis was utilized. Ten theme categories were identified from the data: the invisible enemies--cancer and uncertainty, a sense of duty, constant vigilance, from dreams to reality, turning my eyes away but not my heart, paying the price, don't worry--be happy, who are we now, rebuilding our home, and the everlasting journey. From these theme categories, the essential structure was identified. In searching for the meaning of the journey, the partner is influenced by several factors: their own as well as the patient's coping skills and quality of life, as well as the patient's overall response to cancer treatment. Partners experience many of the same issues as the patient, but their response to and the ability to travel along this cancer journey is based on their role as a partner and their sense of duty to the patient. The partner's goal is to bring structure and stability to the uncertainty of cancer and to find meaning for oneself and the patient during this experience.

Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between spirituality/religiousness and quality of life and the moderating effect of comorbid illness in a sample of 308 long-term cancer survivors who had received an initial primary cancer diagnosis of breast, prostate, colorectal, and Hodgkin's disease at least 5 prior to the beginning of the study. In addition to the self-report measures assessing the variable of interest, participants completed a set of socio-demographic items and several questions related to their cancer treatment at entry into the study (T1) and at a second assessment 12 months later (T2). Results showed that each spirituality/religiousness and comorbidity was significantly related to various aspects of quality of life at both time points of assessment. More specifically, spirituality/religiousness was significantly associated with greater cancer benefits, enhanced general quality of life, lower sexual dysfunction, but unexpectedly, greater family-related distress at T1. Similarly, comorbidity significantly related to more financial problems, worries about appearance, and pain at both time points. Greater comorbidity was also significantly associated with more sexual dysfunction and lower general quality of life at T1. Findings also provided supported for the moderating role of comorbidity on various domains of quality of life both concurrently (i.e., family-related distress and appearance concerns) and prospectively (i.e., family-related distress and pain). In some cases, the direction of the interaction effect was in the predicted direction such that greater spirituality/religiousness related to lower family-related distress (prospectively) and more appearance concerns (concurrently at T2) among survivors with a new comorbidity, for example. In other cases, the direction of the interaction was contrary to expectations, such that higher spirituality/religiousness was associated with greater family-related distress (concurrently at T1) and more pain (prospectively) among the group of survivors with greater comorbidity. Possible explanations for the apparently inconsistent findings are offered as well as recommendations for future research.

Abstract:
Survivors of childhood, teenage and young adult cancer are at increased risk of developing adverse health outcomes. This thesis aims to address the gaps in knowledge regarding the most severe adverse health outcomes. The Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Survivor Study (TYACSS) provides 200,945 survivors of cancer diagnosed aged 15-39 years. The PanCare Childhood and Adolescent Cancer Survivor Care and Follow-Up Studies (PanCareSurFup) provides 69,460 survivors of cancer diagnosed aged < 20 years. Within the TYACSS cohort 1) cancer survivors had increased risk of developing subsequent primary neoplasms, particularly in previously irradiated sites; 2) cancer survivors who likely received cranial irradiation had increased risk of a cerebrovascular event; and 3) central nervous system tumour survivors experienced premature mortality due to neoplastic and nonneoplastic causes. Within the PanCareSurFup cohort 1) the excess number of subsequent softtissue sarcoma was low, except leiomyosarcoma after retinoblastoma; and 2) the excess number of subsequent breast cancers remained elevated beyond 40 years of age among survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma, Wilms tumour and sarcoma. This thesis focuses on the most severe adverse health outcomes among childhood, teenage and young adult cancer survivors and provides evidence for developing clinical follow-up guidelines aimed at reducing such adverse health outcomes.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Rectal cancer 5-year survival has increased from 58% of those diagnosed in 1987-1989 to 68% of those diagnosed in 2003-2009. Rectal cancer patients commonly receive one of two surgical treatments: permanent ostomy (a resection of tumor following by a stoma) or anastomosis (a resection followed by a reconnection with or without a prior temporary ostomy). The multifaceted consequences of both types of surgery potentially can affect both long-term psychological well-being and financial concerns of patients and their families. The overall goal of this dissertation is to increase the understanding of the impact of depression on the quality of life of rectal cancer survivors. Methods: The research data were based on a quality of life survey conducted in 2010-2011 among long-term survivors (≥ 5 years post-diagnosis) of rectal cancer. Participants were identified through the Kaiser Permanente (KP) health systems in Northern California and Southwest Washington/Oregon. Data included both the 2010/2011 survey data and KP electronic medical records (EMRs). Results: 1) The 24.7% prevalence of self-reported current depression among long-term rectal survivors was observed with a higher prevalence of 31% among those with permanent ostomies. Although average perceived financial burden level was low in this population of insured cancer survivors, 20% still reported moderate-to-high burden. Perceived financial burden was especially high among those who recalled having depression immediately after surgery and reported depression at the time of survey.2) All self-reported measures showed low sensitivity varying from 26% to 56% and high specificity from 77% to 82.7% against either diagnostic scheme from EMRs. Using either diagnostic scheme, the MCS-12 measure, a Mental Composite Summary (MCS) score from the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey with a cut-off point of≤45.6 for a self-reported depression, performed better as compared to the other two self-reported measures. 3) Approximately one in six rectal cancer survivors experienced depression after their surgery of sufficient severity to result in a depression diagnosis. Among survivors with recurrent depression diagnoses, those with a permanent ostomy reported significantly lower psychological well-being than those with an anastomosis. Conclusions: Depression burden is elevated after receiving surgery and remains a problem long after cancer diagnosis and treatment. Types of rectal cancer surgery received and gender of survivors may complicate the extent of depression burden. Among long-term rectal cancer survivors, having depression is associated with higher perceived financial burden. Chronic or recurrent course of depression may exist in this group of rectal cancer survivors and has significant impact on long-term psychological well-being. Self-reported measures for depression, such as MCS-12 measure with a cutoff point≤45.6, have the potential to be utilized for epidemiological studies when common screening instruments, electronic medical records, or administrative databases are not available. Implications: These findings underline the significance of depression assessments after surgery for this population of rectal cancer survivors and the importance of symptoms monitoring throughout the cancer survivorship continuum. Depressive symptoms should be monitored and managed as early as after cancer diagnosis and surgery to optimize survivors' long-term emotional well-being. In addition, depression screening and treatment as well as discussion of financial issues may have important roles in long-term survivorship care planning, particularly for those with permanent ostomies.

Abstract:
Objectives. Survival rates for pediatric cancer have dramatically increased since the 1970s, and the population of childhood cancer survivors (CCS) exceeds 500,000 in the United States. Cancer during childhood and related treatments lead to long-term health problems, many of which are poorly understood. These problems can be amplified by suboptimal survivorship care. This report provides an overview of the existing evidence and forthcoming research relevant to disparities and barriers for pediatric cancer survivorship care, outlines pending questions, and offers guidance for future research. Data sources. This Technical Brief reviews published peer-reviewed literature, grey literature, and Key Informant interviews to answer five Guiding Questions regarding disparities in the care of pediatric survivors, barriers to cancer survivorship care, proposed strategies, evaluated interventions, and future directions. Review methods. We searched research databases, research registries, and published reviews for ongoing and published studies in CCS to October 2020. We used the authors’ definition of CCS; where not specified, CCS included those diagnosed with any cancer prior to age 21. The grey literature search included relevant professional and nonprofit organizational websites and guideline clearinghouses. Key Informants provided content expertise regarding published and ongoing research, and recommended approaches to fill identified gaps. Results. In total, 110 studies met inclusion criteria. We identified 26 studies that assessed disparities in survivorship care for CCS. Key Informants discussed subgroups of CCS by race or ethnicity, sex, socioeconomic status, and insurance coverage that may experience disparities in survivorship care, and these were supported in the published literature. Key Informants indicated that major barriers to care are providers (e.g., insufficient knowledge), the health system (e.g., availability of services), and payers (e.g., network adequacy); we identified 47 studies that assessed a large range of barriers to survivorship care. Sixteen organizations have outlined strategies to address pediatric survivorship care. Our searches identified only 27 published studies that evaluated interventions to alleviate disparities and reduce barriers to care. These predominantly assessed approaches that targeted patients. We found only eight ongoing studies that evaluated strategies to address disparities and barriers. Conclusions. While research has addressed disparities and barriers to survivorship care for childhood cancer survivors, evidence-based interventions to address these disparities and barriers to care are sparse. Additional research is also needed to examine less frequently studied disparities and barriers and to evaluate ameliorative strategies in order to improve the survivorship care for CCS.
