“…Previous studies on factors linked with childhood cancer survivors' unemployment have rarely explored the long-term effects as a potential determinant. However, developing physical late effects has been found to increase the risk of unemployment [16,19,20,29]. In contrast, we found no factor related to the survivor's history of AL to indicate a higher risk of unstable employment for the survivors in our study.…”

“…Concerning occupational outcomes, most of the studies conducted have reported higher rates of unemployment among childhood cancer survivors than among their siblings or the population as a whole [4,6,[13][14][15][16][17][18]. Factors found to be associated with unemployment risk in the survivor population are both demographic (current age, female gender, interrupted schooling, lower education) [16,17,19,20] and cancerrelated (younger age at diagnosis, treatment with cranial irradiation, somatic late effects) [13,14,[16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. However, when childhood cancer survivors obtain employment, the literature on their occupational achievements is rather sparse.…”

“…Despite these findings, the associated factors of CCS worries have not been sufficiently evaluated in Japan. We previously conducted a cross‐sectional survey of CCS in Japan to clarify employment status . In the current study, we re‐analyzed these data in order to identify worries and their associated factors.…”

Educational achievement and employment outcomes are critical indicators of quality of life in survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer. This review is aimed at providing an evidence‐based clinical practice guideline (CPG) with internationally harmonized recommendations for the surveillance of education and employment outcomes in survivors of CAYA cancer diagnosed before the age of 30 years. The CPG was developed by a multidisciplinary panel under the umbrella of the International Late Effects of Childhood Cancer Guideline Harmonization Group. After evaluating concordances and discordances of 4 existing CPGs, the authors performed a systematic literature search through February 2021. They screened articles for eligibility, assessed quality, and extracted and summarized the data from included articles. The authors formulated recommendations based on the evidence and clinical judgment. There were 3930 articles identified, and 83 of them, originating from 17 countries, were included. On a group level, survivors were more likely to have lower educational achievement and more likely to be unemployed than comparisons. Key risk factors for poor outcomes included receiving a primary diagnosis of a central nervous system tumor and experiencing late effects. The authors recommend that health care providers be aware of the risk of educational and employment problems, implement regular surveillance, and refer survivors to specialists if problems are identified. In conclusion, this review presents a harmonized CPG that aims to facilitate evidence‐based care, positively influence education and employment outcomes, and ultimately minimize the burden of disease and treatment‐related late adverse effects for survivors of CAYA cancers. Lay Summary A multidisciplinary panel has developed guidelines for the surveillance of education and employment outcomes among survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer. On the basis of evidence showing that survivors are at risk for lower educational achievement and unemployment, it is recommended that all survivors receive regular screening for educational and employment outcomes.
