The Time Has Come to Enhance Skin Cancer Screening for Adult Childhood Cancer Survivors

Multimorbidity patterns and risk of hospitalisation in children: A population cohort study of 3.6 million children in England, with illustrative examples from childhood cancer survivors

“…Our results showed the risk remained elevated after five years after the initial cancer diagnosis. Long-term management of paediatric cancer patients continues into adulthood, thus, our findings may inform evidence-based surveillance and prevention measures for skin cancer, 37 ocular 30 or pulmonary dysfunction, 38 and infection 36 in these patients.…”

Prevalence and correlates of skin examination among ethnically diverse young adult survivors of childhood cancer

“… 6 , 16 , 17 , 18 As such, scientific and medical communities have called for increased awareness of and education among both CCS and their physicians to increase early detection for this high‐risk population. 19 , 20 …”

“…In the few studies to date that have examined the prevalence of adherence to skin screening in this population, adherence to PSE has ranged from 11 to 29%, and from 16 to 48% for SSE 6,16–18 . As such, scientific and medical communities have called for increased awareness of and education among both CCS and their physicians to increase early detection for this high‐risk population 19,20 …”

“…6,[16][17][18] As such, scientific and medical communities have called for increased awareness of and education among both CCS and their physicians to increase early detection for this high-risk population. 19,20 There have been no population-based studies examining adherence to recommended screening and surveillance for skin cancer among young adult childhood cancer survivors (YA-CCS: diagnosed age 0-19 and currently age 18 or older 21 ). Past studies have used clinical samples or have focused more broadly on multiple surveillance and sun protection behaviors.…”
