    Abstract: Childhood cancer survivors experience reduced physiologic reserve, or frailty, earlier and more frequently than peers. In other populations, frailty is impacted by one's neighborhood. This study's purpose was to evaluate associations between neighborhood characteristics and frailty in childhood cancer survivors. Methods: Participants in the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort Study with geocoded residential addresses were analyzed. Pre-frailty/Frailty was defined as having 1–2/≥3 of sarcopenia, muscle weakness, poor endurance, slow walking speed, and exhaustion from direct assessments. Neighborhood characteristics [e.g., access to exercise opportunities and healthy food, neighborhood socioeconomic status (nSES), and rurality/urbanicity] were determined using publicly available geospatial data. Nested multivariable logistic regression models identified associations between neighborhood characteristics and pre-frailty/frailty, adjusting for chronic health conditions, individual health behaviors and socio-demographics, and high-risk cancer treatment exposures. Results: For our cohort (N = 3,806, 46.79% female, 81.40% white, mean age 33.63±9.91 years), compared with non-frail survivors (n = 2,573; 67.6%), pre-frail (n = 900; 23.6%) and frail survivors (n = 333; 8.7%) were more likely to live in neighborhoods with decreased exercise opportunities (frail OR: 1.62, 1.26–2.09), reduced healthy food access (pre-frail OR: 1.28, 1.08–1.51; frail OR: 1.36, 1.06–1.75), and lower nSES (pre-frail OR: 1.31, 1.12–1.52; frail OR: 1.64, 1.30–2.07). Participants had 8% increased odds (95% confidence interval, 2%–14%) of being pre-frail/frail if they lived in “resource poor” neighborhoods as opposed to “resource rich” neighborhoods after adjusting for other pre-frailty/frailty risk factors. Conclusions: The neighborhood a childhood cancer survivor resides in as an adult is associated with pre-frailty/frailty. Impact: This study provides valuable information for creating interventions using neighborhood-level factors to mitigate frailty and improve health outcomes in survivors.

    Abstract: 11563 Background: Long-term survivors of neuroblastoma may be at risk for neurocognitive impairment due to young age at diagnosis and intensive multimodal therapies. Methods: 837 survivors of neuroblastoma (57% female; median [range] age 25 [17-58] years, age at diagnosis 1 [0-21] years) and 728 siblings (56% female; age 32[16-43] years) self-reported neurocognitive problems using a neurocognitive questionnaire. Impairment was defined as scores ≥90th percentile of siblings in emotional regulation (ER), organization, task efficiency (TE), and memory. Multivariable log-binomial models evaluated associations with treatment exposures, era and chronic conditions (Grade 2-4 CTCAE v5) adjusting for sex, age, and race. Analyses were stratified by age at diagnosis (≤1 and 〉 1 year) as proxy for risk group. Results: Rates of impairment were 19.7% (ER), 25.3% organization, 21.9% TE and 19.4% for memory. Survivors had 50% higher risk of impaired TE (≤1 year relative risk [RR] 1.48, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.08-2.03; 〉 1 year: RR 1.58, CI 1.22-2.06) and ER (≤1 year RR 1.51, CI 1.07-2.12; 〉 1 year RR 1.44, CI 1.06-1.95) versussiblings. Among survivors ≤1 year at diagnosis, treatment with platinum (RR 1.74, CI 1.01-2.97), hearing loss (RR 1.95, CI 1.26-3.00), cardiovascular (RR 1.83, CI 1.15-2.89) and neurologic (RR 2.00, CI 1.32-3.03) conditions were associated with higher risk of impaired TE. Female sex (RR = 1.54, CI, 1.02-2.33), cardiovascular (RR 1.71, CI 1.08-2.70) and respiratory (RR 1.99, CI 1.14-3.49) conditions were associated with higher risk of impaired ER. Among survivors 〉 1 year at diagnosis those treated in 1970-79 vs. 1990-99 had 80% higher risk of impaired ER (RR 1.77, CI 1.02-3.06). Hearing loss (RR 1.56 (1.09-2.24), respiratory (RR 2.35, CI 1.60-3.45) and cardiovascular (RR 1.74, CI 1.12-2.69) conditions were associated with higher risk of impaired TE. Conclusions: Adult survivors of neuroblastoma are at-risk for neurocognitive impairment. Differences associated with age at diagnosis, chronic disease and treatment exposures may inform risk-stratified inventions to improve neurocognitive outcomes. Reduced risk in later eras may reflect improved supportive care and knowledge of late effects.

    Abstract: 10002 Background: Aggressive therapies for high-risk neuroblastoma (HRNBL) have resulted in increased survival, but late effects have not been well-characterized. Methods: Comprehensive cross-sectional evaluation of health outcomes in HRNBL survivors enrolled on the COG Neuroblastoma Biology Study after 1/1/2000 and ≥ 5 years from primary diagnosis, using medical record abstraction and in-person clinical assessments. Descriptive and multivariable analyses identified extent of and risk factors for late toxicity. Results: There were 375 participants from 88 COG centers, 205 (55%) male; 92 (26%) non-white; 45 (13%) Hispanic. Median age at neuroblastoma diagnosis was 2.5 years (range: 0.2-15.8), at enrollment was 12.0 years (range: 5.0-24.0). All had received chemotherapy; 94% received cisplatin (median dose: 398 mg/m2). Other exposures included: radiation (95%), isotretinoin (91%), anti-GD2 antibody therapy (64%), MIBG (7%), single (79%) or tandem autologous transplantation (ASCT; 20%). ASCT conditioning included: Busulfan/Melphalan (BuMel) (18%), Carboplatin/Etoposide/Melphalan (CEM) (73%), Thiotepa/Cytoxan (19%), and total body irradiation (5%). Severe ototoxicity (requiring hearing aids) was observed in 58% of participants. Physician-reported late effects included hypothyroidism (17%), pulmonary hypertension (1%), congestive heart failure (2%), and hypertension (6%). Pulmonary Function Studies revealed restrictive lung disease [RLD - Total Lung Capacity 〈 70% predicted] in 8% of subjects. Laboratory study showed elevated creatinine in 7% and Hemoglobin A1c in 7%. Growth failure (height Z-score 〈 -1.7) was observed in 34%. Subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMN) developed in 15 participants (4%; 4 sarcomas, 3 MDS/t-AML, single instance of 8 other malignancies). Adjusting for sex, follow-up time, age, and race, there were no differences in risk of SMN, severe ototoxicity, growth failure, or RLD for participants who received BuMel vs. CEM-based condtioning, or among those who received anti-GD2 antibody therapy vs. those who did not. Use of carboplatin during ASCT was not assocoiated with increased ototoxicity risk for any category of cisplatin induction dose. Comparing subjects who received CEM as a component of tandem ASCT (vs. single CEM), there was increased risk of growth failure [OR (95%CI) = 4.2(2.1, 8.4); p 〈 0.0001], but not RLD. Exposure to isotretinoin was not associated with increased risk of growth failure. Further multivariable analyses will be presented, exploring risks for late toxicity associated with conditioning regimens, radiation therapy, surgical approaches, and acute and chronic complications of therapy. Conclusions: The burden of late toxicity in HRNBL survivors is substantial. Anti-GD2 immunotherapy and isotretinoin do not appear to be associated with SMN, ototoxicity, growth failure, or RLD.

    Abstract: We aimed to clinically characterize the health, neurocognitive, and physical function outcomes of curative treatment of Wilms tumor. METHODS Survivors of Wilms tumor (n = 280) participating in the St. Jude Lifetime Cohort, a retrospective study with prospective follow-up of individuals treated for childhood cancer at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, were clinically evaluated and compared to age and sex-matched controls (n = 625). Health conditions were graded per a modified version of the National Cancer Institute’s Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Standardized neurocognitive testing was graded by using age-adjusted z-scores. Impaired physical function was defined by age- and sex-matched z-scores & gt;1.5 SD below controls. Modified Poisson regression was used to compare the prevalence of conditions and multivariable logistic regression to examine treatment associations. RESULTS Median age at evaluation was similar between survivors and controls (30.5 years [9.0–58.0] and 31.0 [12.0–70.0] ). Therapies included nephrectomy (100%), vincristine (99.3%), dactinomycin (97.9%), doxorubicin (66.8%), and abdominal (59.3%) and/or chest radiation (25.0%). By age 40 years, survivors averaged 12.7 (95% confidence interval [CI] 11.7–13.8) grade 1–4 and 7.5 (CI: 6.7–8.2) grade 2 to 4 health conditions, compared to 4.2 (CI: 3.9–4.6) and 2.3 (CI: 2.1–2.5), respectively, among controls. Grade 2 to 4 endocrine (53.9%), cardiovascular (26.4%), pulmonary (18.2%), neurologic (8.6%), neoplastic (7.9%), and kidney (7.2%) conditions were most prevalent. Survivors exhibited neurocognitive and physical performance impairments. CONCLUSIONS Wilms tumor survivors experience a threefold higher burden of chronic health conditions compared to controls and late neurocognitive and physical function deficits. Individualized clinical management, counseling, and surveillance may improve long-term health maintenance.

    Abstract: Non-O157 Shiga toxin–producing Escherichia coli (STEC) have emerged as an important public health problem. Outbreaks attributed to non-O157 STEC rarely are reported. In 1999, follow-up of routine surveillance reports of children with hemolytic- uremic syndrome (HUS) identified a small cluster of 3 cases of HUS, all of whom had spent overlapping time in a Connecticut lake community in the week before onset of symptoms. We conducted an investigation to determine the magnitude and source of the outbreak and to determine risk factors associated with the transmission of illness. Methods. We conducted a cohort study and an environmental investigation. The study population included all people who were at the lake in a defined geographic area during July 16–25, 1999. This time and area were chosen on the basis of interviews with the 3 HUS case-patients. A case was defined as diarrhea (≥3 loose stools/d for ≥3 days) in a person who was at the lake during July 16–25, 1999. Stool samples were requested from any lake resident with diarrheal illness. Stools were cultured for Salmonella,Shigella, Campylobacter, and E coli O157. Broth cultures of stools were tested for Shiga toxin. Case-patients were asked to submit a serum specimen for antibody testing to lipopolysaccharides of selected STEC. Environmental samples from sediment, drinking water, lake water, and ice were obtained and cultured for E coli and tested for Shiga toxin. An environmental evaluation of the lake was conducted to identify any septic, water supply system, or other environmental condition that could be related to the outbreak. Results. Information was obtained for 436 people from 165 (78%) households. Eleven (2.5%) people had illnesses that met the case definition, including the 3 children with HUS. The attack rate was highest among those who were younger than 10 years and who swam in the lake on July 17 or 18 (12%; relative risk [RR]: 7.3). Illness was associated with swimming (RR = 8.3) and with swallowing water while swimming (RR = 7.0) on these days. No person who swam only after July 18 developed illness. Clinical characteristics of case-patients included fever (27%), bloody diarrhea (27%), and severe abdominal cramping (73%). Only the 3 children with HUS required hospitalization. No bacterial pathogen was isolated from the stool of any case-patient. Among lake residents outside the study area, E coli O121:H19 was obtained from a Shiga toxin–producing isolate from a toddler who swam in the lake. Serum was obtained from 7 of 11 case-patients. Six of 7 case-patients had E coliO121 antibody titers that ranged from 1:320 to & gt;1:20 480. E coli indicative of fecal contamination was identified from sediment and water samples taken from a storm drain that emptied into the beach area and from a stream bed located between 2 houses, but no Shiga toxin–producing strain was identified. Conclusions. Our findings are consistent with a transient local beach contamination in mid-July, probably with E coli O121:H19, which seems to be able to cause severe illness. Without HUS surveillance, this outbreak may have gone undetected by public health officials. This outbreak might have been detected sooner if Shiga toxin screening had been conducted routinely in HUS cases. Laboratory testing that relies solely on the inability of an isolate to ferment sorbitol will miss non-O157 STEC, such as E coliO121. Serologic testing can be used as an adjunct in the diagnosis of STEC infections. Lake-specific recommendations included education, frequent water sampling, and alternative means for toddlers to use lake facilities.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: Survivors of pediatric glioma are at risk of developing physical and neurocognitive sequelae secondary to their tumor and its treatment. The contribution of these conditions to attainment of functional independence has not previously been examined. METHODS: 1,284 adult survivors of pediatric glioma (48% male, median [range] 30 [18-51] years at assessment, 22 [15-34] years since diagnosis) completed the CCSS Neurocognitive Questionnaire with impairment defined as scores & gt; 90th %ile of sibling norms. Treatment exposures were categorized as surgery only, chemotherapy (± surgery), or cranial radiation (± chemotherapy/surgery). Self-reported chronic health conditions (CHCs) were graded by organ system using NCI’s CTCAE v4.3. Latent class analysis utilized six factors (employment, marital status, independent living, driver’s license, assistance with routine needs, assistance with personal care needs) to identify classes of functional independence. Multivariable modified Poisson regression evaluated relative risk (RR) of neurocognitive impairment between the classes, adjusting for sex, race, age at assessment, and age at diagnosis. Path analysis explored the impact of treatment exposures on functional independence, mediated by Grade 2-4 CHCs and neurocognitive impairment. RESULTS: Three latent classes of functional independence were identified: independent (58%), moderately independent (20%), and non-independent (22%). Compared to the independent class, non-independent survivors were at elevated risk for impaired task efficiency (RR=3.86, 95% CI, 2.97-5.01), memory (RR=2.39, 95% CI, 1.91-2.98), organization (RR=2.04, 95% CI, 1.64-2.54), and emotional regulation (RR=1.67, 95% CI, 1.30-2.15). Path analysis revealed significant direct paths from cranial radiation (β=0.14), impaired task efficiency (β=0.42), and sensorimotor (β=0.22) and endocrine conditions (β=0.24) to non-independence. Cranial radiation also was indirectly associated with non-independence through impaired task efficiency (β=0.06), and sensorimotor (β=0.06) and endocrine conditions (β=0.10). CONCLUSIONS: Neurocognitive impairment and chronic health conditions partially mediate the association between treatment exposures and attainment of independence in adulthood, identifying potential intervention targets to promote independence in long-term survivors.

    Abstract: PURPOSE: Pediatric low-grade glioma therapy has evolved to delay or eliminate radiation. The impact of therapy changes on long-term outcomes remains unknown. METHODS: Cumulative incidence of late mortality (death & gt;5 years from diagnosis), subsequent neoplasms (SNs), and chronic health conditions (CHCs, CTCAE grading criteria) were evaluated in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study among 5-year survivors of glioma diagnosed 1970-1999. Outcomes were evaluated by diagnosis decade and by treatment exposures received ≤5 years following diagnosis (surgery-only, chemotherapy ± surgery, and cranial radiation ± surgery or chemotherapy). Relative risk (RRs) with 95%CIs estimated long-term outcomes using multivariable piecewise exponential models. RESULTS: Among 2,684 eligible survivors (age at diagnosis (median [range]), 7 years [0-20 years] ; time from diagnosis, 24 years [5-48 years]), exposure to cranial radiation decreased [51% (1970s), 45% (1980s), 25% (1990s)] along with late tumor recurrence ( & gt;5 & ≤15 years from diagnosis) [9.8% (1970s), 8.8% (1980s), 5.0% (1990s)]. The 15-year cumulative incidence of late mortality was 10.3% (1970s), 6.5% (1980s), and 6.0% (1990s) (p & lt;0.001, comparison of cumulative incidence curves). The 15-year cumulative incidence of grade 3-5 CHCs was 19.7% (1970s), 17.8% (1980s), and 14.2% (1990s) (p & lt;0.0001). A reduction in SN incidence was not observed. In multivariable analyses excluding treatment exposure, later diagnosis (1990s vs. 1970s) was associated with lower risk of late mortality, grade 3-5 CHCs and SNs. Inclusion of treatment exposure in the model attenuated the effect of diagnosis decade. Radiation or chemotherapy exposure increased risk compared to surgery alone for late mortality (radiation RR 4.95, 95%CI 3.79-6.47; chemotherapy RR 2.88, 95%CI 1.85-4.48), CHCs (radiation RR 4.02, 95%CI 3.28-4.94; chemotherapy RR 1.66, 95%CI 1.13-2.45), and SNs (radiation RR 4.02, 95%CI 3.06-6.13, chemotherapy RR 2.08, 95%CI 1.03-4.23)). CONCLUSION: Late mortality and CHCs decreased in childhood glioma survivors diagnosed from 1970-1999 largely due to therapy changes, particularly avoidance of cranial radiation, without increased late recurrence.

    Abstract: We report the discovery of an eccentric hot Neptune and a non-transiting outer planet around TOI-1272. We identified the eccentricity of the inner planet, with an orbital period of 3.3 days and R p,b = 4.1 ± 0.2 R ⊕ , based on a mismatch between the observed transit duration and the expected duration for a circular orbit. Using ground-based radial velocity (RV) measurements from the HIRES instrument at the Keck Observatory, we measured the mass of TOI-1272b to be M p,b = 25 ± 2 M ⊕ . We also confirmed a high eccentricity of e b = 0.34 ± 0.06, placing TOI-1272b among the most eccentric well-characterized sub-Jovians. We used these RV measurements to also identify a non-transiting outer companion on an 8.7 day orbit with a similar mass of M p,c sin i = 27 ± 3 M ⊕ and e c ≲ 0.35. Dynamically stable planet–planet interactions have likely allowed TOI-1272b to avoid tidal eccentricity decay despite the short circularization timescale expected for a close-in eccentric Neptune. TOI-1272b also maintains an envelope mass fraction of f env ≈ 11% despite its high equilibrium temperature, implying that it may currently be undergoing photoevaporation. This planet joins a small population of short-period Neptune-like planets within the “Hot Neptune Desert” with a poorly understood formation pathway.
