Resumen: Introducción: La ototoxicidad se presenta en diversos porcentajes según estudios tras el tratamiento con quimioterapia basada en platino y/o radioterapia craneal. El objetivo es mostrar nuestra experiencia en la monitorización de la ototoxicidad. Material y métodos: Se realizó una revisión del 1999 al 2019 en el registro de pacientes oncológicos pediátricos de nuestro hospital y remitidos a la Unidad de Hipoacusia Infantil. Resultados: 46 pacientes fueron remitidos a nuestra unidad. 41 pacientes recibieron platinos como parte de su tratamiento, 17 pacientes fueron sometidos a una intervención neuroquirúrgica y 18 pacientes recibieron radioterapia craneal. A todos se les realizó una anamnesis y otoscopia, y la monitorización se llevó a cabo con una audiometría tono-verbal y/o productos de distorsión. Se objetivó una hipoacusia como secuela del tratamiento en ocho pacientes (21,05% de los pacientes remitidos para seguimiento audiológico). Fue imposible determinar la situación audiológica al finalizar el tratamiento en ocho pacientes. La adaptación audioprotésica fue necesaria en dos pacientes. En la coordinación con Oncología Pediátrica, se consideró oportuno el cambio de cisplatino por carboplatino por ototoxicidad importante durante el tratamiento en un único paciente. Conclusión: Es imprescindible una adecuada coordinación con Oncología Pediátrica para realizar una vigilancia activa de la ototoxicidad y modificar, si es posible, la dosificación o el tipo de quimioterápico en caso de verse afectada la audición. En nuestra experiencia, y siguiendo las recomendaciones actuales, realizamos una valoración pretratamiento, una monitorización durante el tratamiento, al finalizarlo y después de forma anual por el riesgo de desarrollo diferido de una hipoacusia. 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.

Resumen Con el advenimiento de tratamientos multidisciplinarios y de alta calidad, la supervivencia global a cinco años por cáncer en la población pediátrica ha mejorado considerablemente, llegando a ser hasta de 80% en países de altos ingresos. En Colombia también ha habido un aumento progresivo de la supervivencia global a 5 años, particularmente para las neoplasias hematológicas. En consecuencia, el número de supervivientes de cáncer infantil ha aumentado de forma importante en los últimos años y junto con ellos la aparición de eventos adversos tardíos relacionados con mayor morbilidad y riesgo de muerte prematura en la edad adulta. Aunque se han venido implementando estrategias de seguimiento a supervivientes de cáncer infantil en países de altos ingresos, en Colombia se han realizado pocos esfuerzos para la implementación de estas estrategias. De hecho, la práctica común en la mayoría de los centros de tratamiento consiste en dar de alta al niño que cumple 5 años de seguimiento oncológico, sin instrucciones precisas para dicho seguimiento. El objetivo del presente trabajo es argumentar sobre la necesidad de diseñar e implementar estrategias de seguimiento para supervivientes de cáncer infantil en el contexto colombiano. Abstract With the advent of high-quality multidisciplinary treatments, the overall 5-year cancer survival in the pediatric population has improved considerably, reaching up to 80% in high-income countries. In Colombia, there has also been a progressive increase in overall 5-year survival, particularly for hematologic malignancies. Consequently, the number of childhood cancer survivors has increased significantly in recent years and, together with them, the occurrence of late adverse events related to increased morbidity and risk of premature death in adulthood. Although follow-up strategies have been implemented for childhood cancer survivors in high-income countries, few efforts have been made in Colombia to implement these strategies. In fact, the common practice in most treatment centers is to discharge children who have had 5 years of cancer follow-up, without precise instructions for long-term follow-up. This paper aims to argue about the need to design and implement follow-up strategies for survivors of childhood cancer in the Colombian context.

Objective. The aim of this paper is to understand the neuropsychological long-term effects of childhood cancer and its treatments. We include a proposal for cognitive rehabilitation. Method. Method consists of a systematic review of scientific literature results on chemo- and radiotherapy effects on CNS plus cognitive and behavioural functions detected through neuroimage studies as calcifications and white matter changes. We also present a neuropsychological assessment protocol exemplified with a common diagnosis showing generalized impairment. Moreover, we propose a rehabilitation program based on Attention Process Training (APT) by Mateer & Sohlberg. Results. Cranial radiotherapy and methotrexate produce generalized impairment reflected in neuropsychological deficits: IQ, attention, memory, motor and academic skills. Conclussions. Treatment development implies a reduction in sequelae. Nevertheless, cognitive and behavioral problems are frequent in CNS tumors and leukemias. Periodic neuropsychologic assessment and recent white matter models help us to understand these long-term effects. Hence, this evaluation is basic to diagnose more accurately those deficits avoiding false attributions and inadequate expectations. We emphasize the need of a follow up unit working in on interdisciplinary manner to promote a better quality of life in children with cancer.

Among the last years the survivor’s number of childhood cancer has increased considerably, this has allowed to know the consequences resulting from the disease and its treatments. Several studies have prooved how the involvement of white and gray matter radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and tumor location, lead to various cognitive and behavioral sequelae in these children. The aim of this paper seeks to highlight the instruments and procedures used in the neuropsychological examination of children. Because deficits in children may not appear until several years, that increases the need for extensive neuropsychological studies and monitoring that reveal these consequences in short, medium and long term. En los últimos años el número de supervivientes del cáncer infantil ha aumentado considerablemente, esto ha permitido conocer las secuelas derivadas de la enfermedad y de sus tratamientos. Diversos estudios han demostrado como la afectación de la sustancia blanca y gris por radioterapia y quimioterapia, y la localización del tumor, provocan diversas secuelas cognitivas y conductuales en estos niños. El objetivo del presente trabajo pretende dar a conocer los instrumentos y procedimientos más utilizados en la exploración neuropsicológica infantil. Puesto que en los niños los déficit pueden no aparecer hasta pasados varios años, planteamos la necesidad de realizar estudios neuropsicológicos amplios y de seguimiento que permitan conocer estas secuelas tanto a corto, medio y largo plazo.

Los niños y adolescentes sobrevivientes de cáncer pueden presentar a largo plazo alteraciones endocrinas como consecuencia del tratamiento antineoplásico recibido. Con el objeto de identificar en forma temprana estos efectos tardíos, se presenta una guía práctica que permite realizar un seguimiento desde el punto de visto endocrino, evaluando los factores de riesgo y las complicaciones tardías potenciales que puedan desarrollarse de acuerdo al agente terapéutico utilizado y su dosis. Las alteraciones en el crecimiento, especialmente las causadas por la radioterapia y/ o cirugía craneal, los desórdenes de la pubertad e infertilidad como consecuencia de la quimioterapia, y la osteopenia, son algunas de las endocrinopatías más relevantes. La implementación de un tratamiento hormonal temprano ofrece la oportunidad de optimizar el crecimiento, brindar bienestar y mejorar la calidad de vida al paciente con cáncer en remisión. Childhood cancer survivors can manifest late endocrine effects after completion of cancer therapy. In order to make an early identification of long-term endocrine sequelae, we present a practical guideline for the follow-up and assessment of the risk factors and potential late complications that will develop in relation to the therapeutic agent used and its dose. Growth impairment due to brain irradiation and/or surgery, pubertal disorders and infertility caused by chemotherapy, and osteopenia, are some of the most prevalent endocrinopathies. Early hormonal treatment can lead to enhance growth rate, available stamina and improve quality of life of the patient with cancer in remission. 3-8 giselamen@hotmail.com mevelasque@gmail.com

- Abstract
Background and Objectives: The treatment of childhood cancers has increased survival rates, but also the risk of sequelae, such as endocrine complications. The objective of this study is to evaluate the endocrine disorders in survivors of childhood malignant tumors within the first years after treatment and analyze the variables related to their appearance., Subjects and Methods: A retrospective medical record review of patients referred to pediatric endocrinology after treatment of malignancy. Outcome measures were frequency and types of endocrine dysfunction and new-onset obesity. Clinical and laboratory evaluations were performed every 6 months. Statistics tests were: chi square and multiple logistic regression., Results: Fifty five patients (26 women) were included with an age at diagnosis of tumour (mean±standard deviation) 6.0±4.4 years and followed up for 6.8±3.6 years. Thirty endocrine disorders were diagnosed in 26 patients (47.3%), 17 women (P=.01). Eleven adolescents had primary hypogonadism (26.2% to 0.6±0.5 years of follow-up) in relation to local irradiation (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 3.99, P=.005). Eleven patients had a pituitary disorder (20.0%) 5.2±2.4 years after diagnosis in relation to brain irradiation (OR 1.54, P=.039). Six children (10.9%) had primary hypothyroidism from 3.2±1.0 years of follow-up. Two children developed obesity., Conclusions: Endocrine disorders are frequently seen within the first years after diagnosis of a childhood cancer, so hormonal evaluation should start early and be repeated periodically., (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier España, S.L.U.
