Abstract
- Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at increased risk of subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMNs). However, the impact of SMNs on long-term psychosocial functioning is unknown. In a cohort of 322 young adult CCS, survivors who developed a SMN (nā=ā43, 13.4%) did not report a significantly higher burden of fatigue, insomnia, depression, anxiety, or impaired quality of life on average 8 years after SMN diagnosis. They, however, endorsed significantly greater body image concerns. Our findings indicate that CCS with an SMN do not significantly differ from those without regarding most psychosocial outcomes in young adulthood, although clinicians may be vigilant for greater body image dissatisfaction.
