The NCCN Guidelines for Survivorship offer guidance for health care providers who care for survivors of adult-onset cancer. These guidelines include screening, evaluation, and treatment recommendations for common physical and psychosocial problems resulting from cancer and its treatment and provide a framework for care coordination. They also present guidance for helping cancer survivors to enhance their wellness and maintain a healthy lifestyle. This article summarizes the panel’s current recommendations and recent updates regarding anxiety, depression, distress, and trauma in cancer survivors.

These NCCN Guidelines Insights summarize recent guideline updates and panel discussions pertaining to sleep disorders, fatigue, and cognitive function in cancer survivors.

e19517 Background: Anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC) is a well-known phenomenon, but event rates and predictors may not be as robust as commonly perceived. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to elucidate AIC definitions, incidence rates and predictors. Methods: 5323 reports were identified via searching Medline, Embase, and Scopus. Inclusion criteria for full text review included minimum of 100 lymphoma patients receiving ACs; median/mean follow up of at least 12 months; and specified evaluation of left ventricular ejection fraction. We investigated the definition, reported incidence, and predictors of AIC including subclinical AIC as detected by decrease in left ventricular systolic dysfunction. Meta-analysis was performed with Meta-analyst software with random effects model. Results: A total of 19 studies were included in the analysis. The overall incidence of AIC in 13926 patients was 13.8% (95% CI 4.8-22.8, I2 99.6% p < 0.001) at a mean/median follow-up ranging from 1 to 8 years. Subclinical AIC was seen in 8.2% of 5464 patients (95% CI 6.4 to 10%, I2 78.9%, p < 0.001) at a mean/median follow-up ranging from 1 to 20 years. Subclinical AIC is defined in most studies as asymptomatic decrease in LVEF by 10-15% from baseline of 50-55%. Older age, increasing AC dose or number of cycles, GLS (global longitudinal strain), and prior comorbidities such as CAD, HTN, DM and dyslipidemia were found to predict AIC. However, Heterogeneity was seen in definition of AIC, risk factor assessment and follow-up protocol, which limited the extent of correlative analyses for cardiotoxicity predictors. Conclusions: The overall incidence of clinical HF and subclinical AIC among lymphoma patients was 13.8% and 8.2% respectively. Older age, increasing AC dose or number of cycles, GLS, and prior comorbidities such as CAD, HTN, DM and dyslipidemia were found to predict AIC.

NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for Pediatric Aggressive Mature B-Cell Lymphomas include recommendations for the diagnosis and management of pediatric patients with primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) and sporadic variants of Burkitt lymphoma and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. PMBL is now considered as a distinct entity arising from mature thymic B-cells accounting for 2% of mature B-cell lymphomas in children and adolescents. This discussion section includes the recommendations outlined in the NCCN Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of pediatric patients with PMBL.

The NCCN Guidelines for Survivorship are intended to help healthcare professionals who work with survivors to ensure that the survivors’ complex and varied needs are addressed. The NCCN Guidelines provide screening, evaluation, and treatment recommendations for the consequences of adult-onset cancer and its treatment; recommendations to help promote physical activity, weight management, and immunizations in survivors; and a framework for care coordination. This article summarizes updates to the NCCN Guidelines pertaining to preventive health for cancer survivors, including recommendations about alcohol consumption and vaccinations.

The NCCN Guidelines for Survivorship are intended to help healthcare professionals working with cancer survivors to ensure that each survivor’s complex and varied needs are addressed. The Guidelines provide screening, evaluation, and treatment recommendations for consequences of adult-onset cancer and its treatment; recommendations to help promote healthful lifestyle behaviors, weight management, and immunizations in survivors; and a framework for care coordination. This article summarizes the recommendations regarding employment and return to work for cancer survivors that were added in the 2021 version of the NCCN Guidelines.

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a highly curable form of cancer, and current treatment regimens are focused on improving treatment efficacy while decreasing the risk of late effects of treatment. The NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines) for pediatric HL provide recommendations on the workup, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment of classic HL, including principles of pathology, imaging, staging, systemic therapy, and radiation therapy. This portion of the NCCN Guidelines focuses on the management of pediatric classic HL in the upfront and relapsed/refractory settings.
