Background
Childhood cancer impacts the entire family unit. We sought to investigate its impact on the long‐term physical health outcomes of siblings of children with cancer.
Procedure
Pediatric cancer patients diagnosed in Ontario, Canada between 1988 and 2016 were linked to biological siblings. Sibling cases were matched to population controls based on sex, age, geographic location, and number...
Background
Childhood cancer outcomes in low‐income and middle‐income countries have not kept pace with advances in care and survival in high‐income countries. A contributing factor to this survival gap is unreliable access to essential drugs.
Methods
The authors created a tool (FORxECAST) capable of predicting drug quantity and cost for 18 pediatric cancers. FORxECAST enables users to estimate...

METHODS
The authors assembled a cohort of all 5‐year CCS who were diagnosed before age 18 years and treated in an Ontario pediatric cancer center between 1987 and 2008. Patients were matched to population controls and linked...
