Abstract:
In this report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS), we described marriage and divorce rates in survivors of childhood cancer, as compared to a sibling control group and the general U.S. population. We also sought to identify patient and treatment characteristics that were associated with survivor marital status. This study included 8,930 five-year survivors of childhood malignancy and 2,855 sibling controls participating in the CCSS. Data on marital status, sociodemographic factors, and current health status were obtained from questionnaires; detailed disease and treatment histories were available from medical records. Marital status of the U.S. population was obtained from the 2002 Current Population Survey of the U.S. Census. We found that survivors were more likely to have never married than both sibling (odds ratio [OR] = 1.79; 95 % CI = 1.65-1.94; p < 0.0001) and population controls (OR = 2.29; 95 % CI = 2.19-2.38; p < 0.0001), with persistence of trends across age and gender strata. Once married, survivors divorced at rates equivalent to controls. In adjusted analysis, we found that several survivor characteristics predicted never-married status, including treatment involving cranial radiation (OR = 2.41; p < 0.0001), CNS tumor diagnosis (OR = 2.05; p < 0.0001), history of growth hormone deficiency (OR = 2.02; p < 0.0001), and unemployment secondary to disability (OR = 1.78; p = 0.0001). Survivor characteristics predictive of divorce included unemployment (OR = 1.91; p < 0.0001, for unemployed or disabled), lower educational achievement (OR = 1.74; p < 0.0001, for non-college graduates), and psychological distress (OR = 1.60; p < 0.0001). This study confirms prior reports of lower marriage rates in survivors of childhood cancer, providing further evidence that this population struggles with psychosocial adjustment to adult life.

Abstract:
In Australia, up to 80% of individuals diagnosed with childhood cancer are now expected to survive for more than five years after their initial diagnosis. However, survivors of childhood cancer are at risk of developing late sequelae as a consequence of therapies received during childhood. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of selected late sequelae in a cohort of Australian childhood cancer survivors and identify treatment and genetic factors that may modify the risk of late sequelae in survivors. Our study included 1150 individuals treated for childhood cancer at the Sydney Children??s Hospital between 1962 and 1999, who had remained in remission >3 years and were confirmed to be alive. Rates of mortality and second cancers among survivors were compared against population rates to determine standardised mortality and incidence ratios. Survivors completed a questionnaire on the incidence of adverse health conditions and provided a buccal specimen. Real time PCR was used to detect polymorphisms in genes involved in drug detoxification and transport. Rates of mortality and secondary cancers were found to be 7.5-fold (95%CI 5.4-10.1) and 4.9-fold (95%CI 2.9-8.0) higher among survivors of childhood cancer relative to the general population, respectively, with the highest risks observed for those survivors previously treated for Hodgkin??s disease. Over 60% of survivors reported at least one cardiopulmonary, endocrine or sensory-motor condition following diagnosis of childhood cancer; the most frequently observed conditions included growth hormone deficiency, hypothyroidism, and hypertension. Late sequelae were most frequently reported by females and survivors of brain tumours. Genetic investigations showed that an increased risk of growth hormone deficiency was associated with homozygosity for the GSTM1 null polymorphism, while no gene associations were observed to influence the risk of second cancers among survivors. Our study demonstrates that survivors of childhood cancer are at risk of developing a variety of health conditions as a result of anti-cancer therapies received during childhood. Determining risk factors for late sequelae based on therapy type, lifestyle and genetic predisposition will enable the optimisation of treatment protocols and promote the future well-being of childhood cancer survivors.

Abstract:
Hypermethylation of CpG islands is one of the many processes that a developing cancer cell may use for the inactivation of tumour suppressor genes. The Sav/Hippo/Warts pathway was originally identified in Drosophila and shown to be responsible for controlling both growth and apoptosis, implying this is a tumour suppressor pathway. This pathway is both evolutionarily and functionally conserved in mammals. Work presented here shows that apart from FAT1 and YAP other pathway members are not epigenetically silenced in common epithelial or haematological cancers. FAT1 and YAP were frequently methylated in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) but unmethylated in epithelial cancers. Childhood ALL is a blood cancer with peak prevalence between the ages of 3-5 years. The epigenetics of this cancer were examined with three separate approaches; the first, a candidate gene approach, second a NotI restriction enzyme based array examining the methylation of genes residing on chromosome 3, and thirdly the methylated-CpG island recovery assay (MIRA) combined with CpG island arrays examining methylation on a genome-wide scale. These approaches identified a large number of novel genes which were frequently methylated in ALL. Many of the identified genes were new methylation targets and were shown to be likely targets for methylation in both common epithelial and haematological cancers. A series of these genes was seen to be specifically methylated in different leukaemia sub types, and to cluster T-ALL and B-ALL samples into high and low methylation clusters. When examined in chronic lymphoblastic leukaemia (CLL) methylation of two of the above genes was associated with disease progression and methylation of another gene was associated with response to clinical treatment.

Abstract:
Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for the management of childhood brain tumours. However, it is increasingly being supplemented with functional techniques such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). This thesis investigates how pre-treatment single voxel MRS can aid in diagnosis and surveillance of paediatric brain tumours and identify prognostic biomarkers. Data from multiple centres, scanners from three leading manufacturers and field strengths of 1.5 T and 3 T are incorporated. MRS was analysed using TARQUIN software with metabolite peaks fitted using a simulated basis set to provide metabolite concentrations. Univariate and multivariate statistical tests were used to compare variables. Multi-scanner spectroscopy detected significant differences in common and rare paediatric brain tumours. Diagnostic metabolite profiles were able to confirm tumour on follow-up imaging. Elevated creatine and total choline determined good prognosis in medulloblastoma. Myo-inositol and citrate aided in the characterisation of diffuse pontine gliomas (DIPG). While conventional MRI was unable to identify prognostic markers for DIPG, elevated taurine was found to be significantly associated with a better prognosis. The results encourage the use of MRS as an adjunct to conventional MRI in routine clinical practice. For future studies, accurate assignment of biomarkers will be determined in tumour tissue using in vitro high-resolution spectroscopy methods.

Abstract:
As a result of improvement in survival after childhood cancer, there are now increasing numbers of long-term survivors of childhood cancer living in the United Kingdom and across Europe. Specific groups of these childhood cancer survivors experience substantial excess risks of adverse health and social outcomes. Using the population-based British Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (BCCSS) the following areas were investigated: (I) The proportion of survivors on regular long-term hospital follow-up using risk stratification levels of care developed by the BCCSS in partnership with the National Cancer Survivorship Initiative. (2) The risks of adverse health and social outcomes using record-linkage and a self-reported questionnaire to assess which survivors of central nervous system tumours were at excess risk compared to the general population. (3) The risk of hospitalisation due to cerebrovascular conditions among childhood cancer survivors by electronic record linkage with Hospital Episode Statistics. Using the European PanCareSurFup cohort, the excess risks of genitourinary subsequent primary neoplasms were investigated among five-year survivors of childhood cancer. This thesis quantifies the risks experienced by childhood cancer survivors in four areas and provides an evidence-base for risk stratification by healthcare professionals caring for survivors.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the adverse outcomes amongst survivors of childhood cancer using the British Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (BCCSS) and the Pancare Childhood and Adolescent Cancer Survivor Care and Follow-up studies (PCSF). The specific aims were to investigate (1) adverse outcomes up to 50 years of follow-up in survivors of Wilms’ tumour; (2) risks of hospitalisations due to renal morbidities in childhood cancer survivors; (3) risk of subsequent primary neoplasms arising in the digestive system in survivors of childhood cancer; and (4) adverse outcomes beyond 50 years of follow-up in survivors of heritable retinoblastoma. This thesis demonstrated that survivors of Wilms’ tumour are at substantial risk of premature mortality, particularly for those who have survived 30 years from original diagnosis. This particular group of survivors have the highest risk of hospitalisations due to renal morbidities, such as chronic renal failure, and subsequent primary neoplasms in specific organs in the lower digestive system. Survivors of heritable retinoblastoma who received external beam radiotherapy experienced an increased risk of subsequent primary neoplasms developing above the shoulder, whereas those who received brachytherapy were similar to those who did not receive any radiotherapy and did not experience an increased risk of subsequent primary neoplasms.

Abstract:
Mounting evidence from imaging studies, developmental disorders and typically-developing children suggests that different domains of functioning are more closely related than previously considered. This is reflected in theories of development which are increasingly recognising that developmental progression should be considered as an integrated process, with associations between domains. The extent of the interrelation between cognitive and motor skills remains unclear despite previous investigations. Examination of this relationship in typically-developing children is important to clarify the nature of this link, thereby informing theories of development for both typical and atypical populations. This thesis investigated the underlying nature of the association between cognitive and motor domains to establish the extent of interrelation and whether this link alters across development. As the cerebellum has been hypothesised to be instrumental in this relationship (Diamond, 2000), the role of the cerebellum was investigated by examining cognitive and motor development in children treated for cerebellar tumour in the preschool years (N=15). The impact of cerebellar injury on development of scholastic and attentional skills was also investigated, together with the influence of factors affecting prognosis. The interrelation of cognitive and motor skills in typically-developing children (N=248; 4-11 years) was found to be underpinned by a link between visual processing abilities and fine manual motor skills. Despite fluctuations in correlations between other aspects of cognitive and motor functioning, this core relationship remained constant, furthering evidence that cognitive and motor development are linked from an early age. A similar pattern of correlations was seen for the patient sample, suggesting that development in these domains remains tightly linked despite damage to an underlying component of the anatomical network. This suggests that the patients are demonstrating a developmental delay, rather than deviation; their trajectory does not appear to be qualitatively different from that of typically-developing children, rather development appears to be more constrained than suggested by some hypotheses (e.g. Karmiloff-Smith, 1992). Cerebellar damage was therefore found to impact on the two domains similarly, offering support to a „universal cerebellar transform‟ (Schmahmann, 2000b) conceptualisation of cerebellar functioning. Both cognitive and motor skills were found to be compromised following a cerebellar tumour, although no specific impact of cerebellar damage was reported on scholastic skills, above and beyond general cognitive deficit. Attention was found to be impaired in the patient sample, with sustained attention most closely related to functioning in cognitive, academic and motor skills, suggesting that a deficit in this basic underlying process underlies difficulties in other domains. In addition, sustained attention was implicated in the association between visual processing and fine manual control in the patient sample, suggesting that this core link may be further underpinned by more basic cognitive processes. Effective rehabilitation may therefore target sustained attention, as this appears to be related to functioning in the other domains assessed in this study, as well as recognising that an integrated approach across domains is likely to yield maximum benefits. Of the potential moderating factors investigated, age at diagnosis and tumour type/treatment were found to be the most reliable predictors of outcome. This research highlights the importance of a case-study approach, and the clinical importance of individual investigation of each child‟s needs for rehabilitation.
