“…To define the potential for introducing bias among the studied cohort, we previously compared demographic and cancer-related characteristics among participants, non-participants, and those who were lost to follow-up. These three groups were found to be very similar with regard to gender, type of cancer, age at diagnosis, age when asked to participate in the study (or for those lost to follow-up, age when cohort was assembled), and type of cancer treatment (27,28).…”

“…The BRFSS is a state-based system that collects data annually on many behaviors and conditions that place adults 18 years or older at risk for chronic disease. Details of the survey design and sampling procedures are described elsewhere (28). For the purposes of this study, data from 2003 BRFSS were used as a comparison group.…”

“…Participants and nonparticipants did not differ by sex, age at diagnosis or at the time of study initiation, cancer type, or treatment. 16,18 Medical records were abstracted to obtain treatment information, and participants completed baseline and followup questionnaires (available at www.stjude.org/ccss). The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at each participating institution and informed consent was obtained from each participant or consenting parent/guardian.…”

Purpose: To determine the independent contribution of population socioeconomic and health system factors on childhood cancer survivors' medical care and screening. Methods: 7899 childhood cancer survivors in the United States and Canada enrolled in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS). Population-level factors were derived from U.S. Area Health Resource File or 201 Canadian Census. Health service utilization and individual-level factors were self-reported. Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate the effect of population factors on medical care (any care vs. no care; risk-based care vs. general care) and indicated echocardiogram or mammogram, adjusting for individual sociodemographic and health status. Results: After adjusting for individual factors, population factors had a nominal impact on childhood cancer survivors' medical care and screening. Higher population median income was associated with risk-based survivor-focused care versus general care (odds ratio [OR] 1.05, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.09) among all participants, but not among U.S. residents only (OR 1.03, 95% CI, 0.99-1.07). For U.S. residents, the number of CCSS centers within the geographic area was associated with greater odds of receiving risk-based survivor-focused medical care (OR 1.12, 95% CI, 1.04-1.20). Areas with higher median income had higher rates of echocardiogram screening among survivors at risk of cardiomyopathy (for every $10,000 increase in median income, there is a 12% increase in odds of echocardiogram screening; 95% CI 1.05-1.20). A positive relationship was identified between greater number of physicians and surgeons in the county of residence and recommended echocardiogram (for every additional 1000 physicians and surgeons: OR 1.12, 95% CI, 1.01-1.23). We found no association between population-level factors and mammography screening. Conclusions: Population socioeconomic disparities moderately affect childhood cancer survivors' risk-based medical care and screening after accounting for individual sociodemographic and health factors.

“…29,30 Briefly, the CCSS cohort consists of survivors of specific childhood cancers (leukemia, brain tumors, Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, renal tumors, neuroblastoma, soft tissue sarcomas or bone tumors) who were diagnosed before 21 years of age at one of 26 participating centers between 1970 and 1986, and who were alive at least five years from their original diagnosis, and a comparison cohort of their siblings. The current analysis is based upon 9307 survivors and 2951 siblings who participated in the 2003 CCSS Follow-up Survey (Figure 1).…”

Context-Women treated with chest radiation for a pediatric malignancy have a significantly increased risk of breast cancer at a young age and are recommended to have an annual screening mammogram starting at age 25 or 8 years after radiation, whichever occurs last.Objective-Characterize the breast cancer surveillance practices among female pediatric cancer survivors who were treated with chest radiation and identify correlates of screening. Conclusions-In this study cohort of women who had childhood cancer treated with chest radiation, 63.5% of those aged 25-39 years and 23.5% of those aged 40-50 years had not undergone mammography screening for breast cancer, as recommended by current guidelines for survivors of childhood cancer.
