Abstract

Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported.This multicenter cohort study reports on the long-term effects of prenatal exposure to maternal cancer and its treatment on cognitive and behavioral outcomes in 9-year-old children. In total, 151 children (mean age, 9.3 years; range, 7.8-10.6 years) were assessed using a neurocognitive test battery and parent-report behavioral questionnaires. During pregnancy, 109 children (72.2%) were exposed to chemotherapy (only or in combination with other treatment modalities), 18 (11.9%) to surgery only, 16 (10.6%) to radiotherapy, one to trastuzumab, and 16 (10.6%) were not exposed to oncologic treatment. Mean cognitive and behavioral outcomes were within normal ranges. Gestational age at birth showed a positive association with Full Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ), with the average FSIQ score increasing by 1.6 points for each week increase in gestational age (95% CI, 0.7 to 2.5; P <.001). No difference in FSIQ was found between treatment types (F[4,140] = 0.45, P =.776). In children prenatally exposed to chemotherapy, no associations were found between FSIQ and chemotherapeutic agent, exposure level, or timing during pregnancy. These results indicate a reassuring follow-up during the critical maturational period of late childhood, when complex functions develop and rely on the integrity of early brain development. However, associations were observed with preterm birth, maternal death, and maternal education.

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.

Abstract

Background: Ototoxicity (hearing loss, tinnitus and/or vertigo) is a serious adverse event of cisplatin treatment in children with cancer. The heterogeneity in ototoxicity occurrence after similar treatment suggests a role for genetic susceptibility. This study investigated the association between carriership of novel single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and cisplatin-induced hearing loss (CIHL) in childhood cancer patients.Material and methods: The discovery cohort included cisplatin treated, non-cranial irradiated pediatric cancer patients within the European PanCareLIFE (PCL) study (N=390). CIHL at end of cancer treatment was defined as Muenster grade >=2b, assessed by pure tone audiometry. DNA was genotyped using the Infinium© Global Screening Array. Logistic regression models were applied including age at diagnosis, sex, cisplatin total cumulative dose and principal components 1-4, assuming an additive effect of the minor allele. Replication of the findings was performed in two independent, similarly treated cohorts (N=192 and N=188). Functional validation experiments in cultured human HeLa cell lines were performed to determine the effect of knockdown of the SNPs nearest identified gene on cisplatin-induced toxicity.Results: In the PCL discovery cohort, 8 SNPs reached a suggestive significance of P<1.0x10-5. One variant (rs893507) within the TCERG1L gene showed evidence of replication (P=0.01) in the Canadian first replication cohort. Analysis in the PCL second replication cohort confirmed this finding (P=1.0x10-4). The combined analysis showed that carriership of the C-allele of this newly discovered variant increases the odds of CIHL with 3.11-fold (P=5.3x10-10, 95% CI 2.2-4.5). Modulating TCERG1L expression significantly altered cell viability in response to cisplatin treatment, where TCERG1L overexpression and silencing protected and sensitized cells to cisplatin toxicity, respectively.Discussion: Children with cancer who carry a variant in the TCERG1L g

Abstract

In children with cancer, the heterogeneity in ototoxicity occurrence after similar treatment suggests a role for genetic susceptibility. Using a genome-wide association study (GWAS) approach, we identified a genetic variant in TCERG1L (rs893507) to be associated with hearing loss in 390 non-cranial irradiated, cisplatin-treated children with cancer. These results were replicated in two independent, similarly treated cohorts (n = 192 and 188, respectively) (combined cohort: P = 5.3 × 10−10, OR 3.11, 95% CI 2.2–4.5). Modulating TCERG1L expression in cultured human cells revealed significantly altered cellular responses to cisplatin-induced cytokine secretion and toxicity. These results contribute to insights into the genetic and pathophysiological basis of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity.

Abstract

Data on the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of children exposed to hematological maternal cancer with or without treatment during pregnancy are lacking. A total of 57 children, of whom 33 males and 24 females, prenatally exposed to hematological malignancies and its treatment, were invited for neuropsychological and physical examinations at 18months, 36months, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18years of age. Oncological, obstetrical, neonatal and follow-up data of these children were collected. Parents were asked to complete questionnaires on their child's general health, school performances, social situation, behavioral development, executive functioning, and if their child receives supportive care. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma was diagnosed in 35.1%, Hodgkin lymphoma in 28.1%, acute myeloid leukemia in 15.8%, chronic myeloid leukemia in 12.3%, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 8.8%. Cognitive development at a median age of 10.7years was within the normal range. In subgroup analyses of children in early childhood, the gestational age at birth was correlated with the cognitive outcome at a median age of 1.7years. Scores for language development, intelligence, attention, memory and behavior, as well as clinical neurological and general pediatric examinations were within normal ranges. In subgroup analyses, the need for supportive care in the child was associated with the loss of the mother. Prenatal exposure to hematological maternal malignancies with or without treatment did not affect the neurodevelopment of the child in the long term. Yet, caution is indicated and surveillance of the emotional development of the child is needed, especially when the mother is deceased to cancer.

Abstract

This paper develops a set of design strategies for promoting young children’s physical activity. These strategies are developed by taking the design perspective of Playscapes as a starting point. Playscapes suggests that three play qualities are key in promoting young children’s physical activity: free, bodily, and dispersed play. We present two field studies in a pediatric oncology center, in which we observed how these play qualities were reflected in children’s interactions with two Playscape designs: Stickz, a collection of branch-shaped objects, were placed in a semi-public waiting area; Fizzy, a self-propelled robotic ball, was introduced to patient rooms. Free play was analyzed according to the diversity of play activities, bodily play according to the diversity and exertion level of bodily movements, and dispersed play according to the floor area covered. Based on the findings, we discuss how Fizzy and Stickz contributed to each play quality, and derive a set of design strategies that can be applied in different contexts to stimulate young children’s physical activity. With these strategies, Playscapes offers a concrete alternative to existing approaches, supporting designers in directing interactions towards physical activity while leaving room for children’s unstructured and spontaneous play.

Abstract

This paper develops a set of design strategies for promoting young children’s physical activity. These strategies are developed by taking the design perspective of Playscapes as a starting point. Playscapes suggests that three play qualities are key in promoting young children’s physical activity: free, bodily, and dispersed play. We present two field studies in a pediatric oncology center, in which we observed how these play qualities were reflected in children’s interactions with two Playscape designs: Stickz, a collection of branch-shaped objects, were placed in a semi-public waiting area; Fizzy, a self-propelled robotic ball, was introduced to patient rooms. Free play was analyzed according to the diversity of play activities, bodily play according to the diversity and exertion level of bodily movements, and dispersed play according to the floor area covered. Based on the findings, we discuss how Fizzy and Stickz contributed to each play quality, and derive a set of design strategies that can be applied in different contexts to stimulate young children’s physical activity. With these strategies, Playscapes offers a concrete alternative to existing approaches, supporting designers in directing interactions towards physical activity while leaving room for children’s unstructured and spontaneous play., Design Aesthetics, Human Information Communication Design, Design Conceptualization and Communication

Abstract

In children with cancer, the heterogeneity in ototoxicity occurrence after similar treatment suggests a role for genetic susceptibility. Using a genome-wide association study (GWAS) approach, we identified a genetic variant in TCERG1L (rs893507) to be associated with hearing loss in 390 non-cranial irradiated, cisplatin-treated children with cancer. These results were replicated in two independent, similarly treated cohorts (n = 192 and 188, respectively) (combined cohort: P = 5.3 × 10−10, OR 3.11, 95% CI 2.2–4.5). Modulating TCERG1L expression in cultured human cells revealed significantly altered cellular responses to cisplatin-induced cytokine secretion and toxicity. These results contribute to insights into the genetic and pathophysiological basis of cisplatin-induced ototoxicity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Clinical trials frequently include multiple end points that mature at different times. The initial report, typically based on the primary end point, may be published when key planned co-primary or secondary analyses are not yet available. Clinical Trial Updates provide an opportunity to disseminate additional results from studies, published in JCO or elsewhere, for which the primary end point has already been reported.This multicenter cohort study reports on the long-term effects of prenatal exposure to maternal cancer and its treatment on cognitive and behavioral outcomes in 9-year-old children. In total, 151 children (mean age, 9.3 years; range, 7.8-10.6 years) were assessed using a neurocognitive test battery and parent-report behavioral questionnaires. During pregnancy, 109 children (72.2%) were exposed to chemotherapy (only or in combination with other treatment modalities), 18 (11.9%) to surgery only, 16 (10.6%) to radiotherapy, one to trastuzumab, and 16 (10.6%) were not exposed to oncologic treatment. Mean cognitive and behavioral outcomes were within normal ranges. Gestational age at birth showed a positive association with Full Scale Intelligence Quotient (FSIQ), with the average FSIQ score increasing by 1.6 points for each week increase in gestational age (95% CI, 0.7 to 2.5; P < .001). No difference in FSIQ was found between treatment types (F[4,140] = 0.45, P = .776). In children prenatally exposed to chemotherapy, no associations were found between FSIQ and chemotherapeutic agent, exposure level, or timing during pregnancy. These results indicate a reassuring follow-up during the critical maturational period of late childhood, when complex functions develop and rely on the integrity of early brain development. However, associations were observed with preterm birth, maternal death, and maternal education. ispartof: JOURNAL OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY vol:41 issue:8 pages:1527-+ ispartof: location:United States status: published

Abstract

Data on the long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes of children exposed to hematological maternal cancer with or without treatment during pregnancy are lacking. A total of 57 children, of whom 33 males and 24 females, prenatally exposed to hematological malignancies and its treatment, were invited for neuropsychological and physical examinations at 18 months, 36 months, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 years of age. Oncological, obstetrical, neonatal and follow-up data of these children were collected. Parents were asked to complete questionnaires on their child's general health, school performances, social situation, behavioral development, executive functioning, and if their child receives supportive care. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma was diagnosed in 35.1%, Hodgkin lymphoma in 28.1%, acute myeloid leukemia in 15.8%, chronic myeloid leukemia in 12.3%, and acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 8.8%. Cognitive development at a median age of 10.7 years was within the normal range. In subgroup analyses of children in early childhood, the gestational age at birth was correlated with the cognitive outcome at a median age of 1.7 years. Scores for language development, intelligence, attention, memory and behavior, as well as clinical neurological and general pediatric examinations were within normal ranges. In subgroup analyses, the need for supportive care in the child was associated with the loss of the mother. Prenatal exposure to hematological maternal malignancies with or without treatment did not affect the neurodevelopment of the child in the long term. Yet, caution is indicated and surveillance of the emotional development of the child is needed, especially when the mother is deceased to cancer. ispartof: CHILD NEUROPSYCHOLOGY vol:27 issue:6 pages:822-833 ispartof: location:England status: published

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, Highlights • 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

Introduction: Radiotherapy protocols for high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NBL) vary across international studies. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the locoregional control in a national HR-NBL cohort treated with highly-conformal image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), using reduced margins, and a boost dose for residual lesions., Materials and Methods: Patients treated with radiotherapy as part of first-line HR-NBL treatment between 2015 and 2022 were eligible. To obtain clinical, internal, and planning target volumes, +0.5 cm, 4DCT-based, and + 0.3/0.5 cm margins, respectively, were added to the edited gross tumour volumes. Prescription dose was 21.6/1.8 Gy, followed by 14.4/1.8 Gy for any residual lesions measuring ≥ 1 cm 3 at the time of radiotherapy planning. Intensity-modulated arc therapy was combined with daily cone beam CT-based online patient position verification. Locoregional failure (LRF) rates were compared for the presence of residual lesions < 1 cm 3 vs. ≥ 1 cm 3 (with/without locoregional activity on nuclear- and MRI[diffusion-weighted imaging]-scans) pre-radiotherapy, age at diagnosis, MYCN-status, [ 131 I]mIBG therapy, response to induction chemotherapy, interval to radiotherapy onset, and metastatic site irradiation., Results: Among the 77 included patients, 34 had residual lesions (median volume: 10.0 cm 3 , IQR 4.8-29.9) with activity visible on 17 nuclear- and 10 MRI-scans. Five-year LRF rate was 7.8 % (95 % confidence interval 1.8-13.8), and not significantly different between those with residual lesions < 1 cm 3 vs. ≥ 1 cm 3 (6.4 % vs. 14.3 %, respectively, p = 0.27), or any of the other variables. All 6 LRFs (2 isolated, 4 combined) occurred < 1.5 years post-radiotherapy., Conclusion: In HR-NBL, IGRT with reduced margins and a boost dose for residual lesions ≥ 1 cm 3 demonstrated excellent locoregional control, comparable to modern literature., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare the following financial interests/personal relationships which may be considered as potential competing interests: [Atia Samim, Annemieke S.

Abstract

Background: Platina and taxanes are frequently used chemotherapeutic agents to treat cancer, also when diagnosed during pregnancy. This report presents an interim analysis of the largest series of children prenatally exposed to platinum and/or taxane agents and aims to determine their physical health and neurocognitive outcomes., Methods: As part of a multicentre, prospective cohort study (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00330447), children born between 2000 and 2022 were assessed between 2005 and 2024 at ages 1.5-18 years (interim analysis; median length of follow-up, 3.2 years (IQR 3.0-6.4)) by a comprehensive neurocognitive test battery, parent-reported questionnaires, and a physical assessment. Mixed-effects regression and Type III Analysis of Variance models were used to investigate associations between these outcomes and platinum/taxane cumulative dose and agent type, with best-fit models corrected for age and covariates (gestational age at birth, chemotherapy timing, other chemotherapy, sex, parental education level, maternal death)., Findings: In total, 144 children were included (13% exposed to platinum, 62% to taxanes, 25% to both). Of these, 101 were assessed at age 1.5 years, 96 at age 3, 63 at age 6, 32 at age 9, 18 at age 12, 7 at age 15, and 2 at age 18 years. Neurocognitive outcomes were within normal ranges across all ages, compared with test-specific normative data. Eight children (6%) reported ototoxicity, seven (5%) reported chronic medical conditions, three (2%) had congenital malformations, and two (1%) were diagnosed with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Thirty-three children (23%) needed extra neurocognitive support, of which 64% were born preterm. Children prenatally exposed to paclitaxel scored lower on visuospatial (β = 0.64 ± 0.21, p = 0.0052) and verbal memory (β = 0.68 ± 0.27, p = 0.015) than those exposed to docetaxel., Interpretation: In this interim analysis, we found normal neurocognitive outcomes and no increase in congenital malformations nor medical conditions after prenatal exposure to platinum/taxane-based chemotherapy. However, owed to the limited number of older children, further investigation regarding their potential neurotoxicity and its long term effects is necessary in follow-up studies with larger samples., Funding: Kom Op Tegen Kanker, KWF Kankerbestrijding, Stichting Tegen Kanker, Cooperatio program, Research Foundation Flanders., Competing Interests: CLL: Personal fellowship fundamental research contract with FWO (no. 1127523N).

Abstract

Introduction: Ototoxicity is an adverse effect of childhood cancer treatment with a negative impact on speech-language development and quality of life. This study aimed to retrospectively assess ototoxicity monitoring in a national cohort of pediatric patients with solid tumors, examining the frequency and determinants associated with hearing loss (HL)., Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 305 patients treated between 2015 and 2020 at the Princess Máxima Center. Patients receiving platinum agents, head and neck radiotherapy, and/or ear-nose-throat surgery were analyzed. Electronic patient files provided demographic, clinical, and audiological data. HL was defined as Muenster ≥ 2b or SIOP ≥ 2 grade. Associations between clinical characteristics and HL occurrence were analyzed using logistic regression analysis., Results: Audiological monitoring was performed at baseline (62.6%), during treatment (79.0%), and at the end of treatment (82.1%). Post treatment, 51.2% and 36.5% experienced Muenster and SIOP-defined HL, respectively. Multivariable analyses revealed that age at diagnosis (OR 0.9, 95% CI 0.9-1.0), total cumulative dose cisplatin per 100 mg/m 2 (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.4-2.0), and vincristine treatment (OR 3.3, 95% CI 1.4-7.8) remained significantly associated with Muenster grade ≥ 2b HL. Age at diagnosis in years (OR 0.9, 95% CI 0.8-1.0), total cumulative dose cisplatin per 100 mg/m 2 (OR 1.5, 95% CI 1.2-1.8), and male sex (OR 2.7, 95% CI 1.4-5.3) were associated with SIOP ≥ 2 HL., Conclusion: This study shows that more than half of the children treated with ototoxic cancer therapies develop HL by the end of treatment. Therefore, audiological monitoring during and after treatment is essential. Improved insight into clinical determinants aids in identifying patients at high risk for HL, who may benefit from prevention strategies that are currently being implemented., (© 2024 The Author(s).

Abstract

Invasive fungal disease (IFD) presents a life-threatening condition in immunocompromised patients, thus often prompting empirical administration of antifungal treatment, without adequate mycological evidence. Over the past years, wide use of antifungal prophylaxis resulted in decreased occurrence of IFD but has contributed to changes in the spectrum of fungal pathogens, revealing the occurrence of previously rare fungal genera causing breakthrough infections. The expanding spectrum of clinically relevant fungal pathogens required the implementation of screening approaches permitting broad rather than targeted fungus detection to support timely onset of pre-emptive antifungal treatment. To address this diagnostically important aspect in a prospective setting, we analyzed 935 serial peripheral blood (PB) samples from 195 pediatric and adult patients at high risk for IFD, involving individuals displaying febrile neutropenia during treatment of hematological malignancies or following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Two different panfungal-PCR-screening methods combined with ensuing fungal genus identification by Sanger sequencing were employed. In the great majority of PB-specimens displaying fungal DNAemia, the findings were transient and revealed fungi commonly regarded as non-pathogenic or rarely pathogenic even in the highly immunocompromised patient setting. Hence, to adequately exploit the diagnostic potential of panfungal-PCR approaches for detecting IFD, particularly if caused by hitherto rarely observed fungal pathogens, it is necessary to confirm the findings by repeated testing and to identify the fungal genus present by ensuing analysis. If applied appropriately, panfungal-PCR-screening can help prevent unnecessary empirical therapy, and conversely, contribute to timely employment of effective pre-emptive antifungal treatment strategies., (© 2024.

Abstract

Background: The main data available on the safety of radiation during pregnancy originate from animal studies and from studies of survivors of atomic or nuclear disasters. The effect of radiotherapy to treat maternal cancer on fetal development is uncertain. This report presents a unique cohort and aims to determine the long-term neurocognitive, psychosocial and physical outcomes of offspring of mothers treated with radiotherapy during pregnancy., Methods: In this international, multicentre, mixed retrospective-prospective cohort study, we recruited participants between Aug 5, 2006, and Aug 24, 2023, aged between 1·5 and 46 years, at three referral centres in Belgium, the Netherlands, and the USA. Participants were eligible if they were born from mothers treated with radiotherapy during pregnancy. Fetal radiation doses were obtained from medical records and participants were followed up at predefined ages (1·5, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18 years) and 5-yearly in adulthood, based on age at enrolment, using a neurocognitive test battery (measuring intelligence, attention, and memory), parent-reported executive function and psychosocial questionnaires, and a medical assessment. Results were compared with test-specific normative data. Linear regression models investigated associations between radiotherapy factors (fetal radiation dose, gestational age at the start and end of radiotherapy, and radiotherapy duration) and outcomes., Findings: 68 maternal cases of radiotherapy during pregnancy were registered by the three participating centres, of which 61 resulted in a livebirth and were therefore eligible to participate in the child follow-up study. After excluding those who did not give consent, 43 participants born from 42 mothers treated with radiotherapy during pregnancy were included in the study (median age at first assessment 3 years [IQR 2-11]; median age at last assessment 12 years [9-18]; median number of assessments two [1-4]). 18 (42%) of the included participants were female and 25 (58%) male, and 37 (86%) were of White ethnicity. Mean neurocognitive outcomes of the entire cohort were within normal ranges. No associations were found with fetal radiation dose or timing of radiotherapy during pregnancy. Six (16%) of 38 participants with neurocognitive outcomes scored lower than one SD on at least one neurocognitive outcome, three (7%) reported chronic medical conditions (spasmophilia, spastic diplegia, and IgG deficiency), and three (7%) were diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (of whom two scored lower on attention). Of ten (23%) participants with lower neurocognitive score(s), a chronic medical condition, or attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, eight were born preterm. The remaining 33 (77%) participants showed no neurocognitive, psychosocial, or chronic physical problems., Interpretation: We show on average normal neurocognitive, psychosocial, and physical outcomes after prenatal exposure to radiotherapy. Differences in outcomes could not be explained by exposure to radiotherapy during pregnancy. These results suggest that extra-abdomino-pelvic radiotherapy exposure during pregnancy in general does not adversely affect outcomes of liveborn children. Further research with a larger sample is necessary to confirm these findings., Funding: Kom Op Tegen Kanker, KWF Kankerbestrijding, Stichting Tegen Kanker, Research Foundation Flanders., Competing Interests: Declaration of interests FA is on the MiMARK advisory board for early detection of endometrial cancer and is Chair of the International Network on Cancer, Infertility, and Pregnancy of the European Society of Gynecologic Oncology, and of the Advisory Board on Cancer, Infertility and Pregnancy.
