Abstract
(en) Background: Little is known regarding long-term bone deficit in relationship with the modalities of cancer therapy among survivors of childhood malignancy. Methods: Bone mineral density (BMD) was evaluated at lumbar spine (LS), total hip and femoral neck in 89 patients (44 men) more than 5 years after remission of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The patients had received chemotherapy (group I; n = 41), chemotherapy and cranial irradiation (group II; n = 32), or bone marrow transplantation (BMT) with total body irradiation (TBI) (group III; n = 16). All patients had received methylprednisolone and 47 additional dexamethasone treatment. Results: A reduced BMD at any site was observed in 44 of the 89 patients, more frequently in men (66%) than women (33%) (p < 0.001). In comparison with group I, mean BMD was significantly lower at all sites in group II and at the total hip and femoral neck in group III. A multivariate analysis showed independent significant influences of male gender at LS (p < 0.001) and of type of treatment and dexamethasone at the hip (p < 0.05). Conclusions: A low bone mass is frequently observed in adult survivors of childhood ALL and NHL, and is associated with male gender at the LS and with dexamethasone treatment, cranial irradiation and BMT/TBI at the hip.
