Context: Subsequent Neoplasms / Therapy-Related Solid SNs

Development of subsequent primary urogenital cancers in childhood and adolescent cancer survivors is rare.

Using SEER data of 43,991 patients (aged <20 years) diagnosed with a first primary cancer from 1975 to 2016, the risk of urinary system cancer was higher for both females (SIR, 5.18; 95% CI, 3.65–7.14) and males (SIR, 2.80; 95% CI, 1.94–3.92), compared with the general population.[99]

Source links and citations

Females were more likely than males to develop a subsequent urinary system cancer (SIR, 1.86; 95% CI, 1.13–3.03) and kidney cancer (SIR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.11–3.53).

Females with any first cancer had higher risks than the general population for developing cancers of the corpus uteri (SIR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.49–3.45) and vulva (SIR, 4.27; 95% CI, 1.38–9.95).
