“…La probabilidad de sobrevida de los niños con leucemia linfoblástica aguda (LLA) ha mejorado signifi cativamente, obteniendo actualmente más de un 75% de curación 1 . En Chile esto se ha logrado debido a la mejora en el proceso diagnóstico, el desarrollo de protocolos de tratamientos de mayor efectividad, mejoría en el manejo de efectos adversos y complicaciones infecciosas asociadas, trabajo colaborativo multidisciplinario y la decisión de la autoridad sanitaria nacional de implementar acciones efectivas para la cura del cáncer como la creación del Programa Infantil Nacional de Drogas Antineoplásicas PINDA, implementado desde el año 1988 [2][3][4] . Un niño se puede considerar curado cuando la probabilidad de morir por cáncer es similar a la que tiene un niño de la misma edad de morir por cualquier causa, aunque tenga secuelas secundarias a la enfermedad o al tratamiento recibido 5 .…”

Quality of life in children and adolescents surviving acute lymphoblastic leukemia Objective: Describe the quality of life of patients cured of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated at the Oncology Unit at Roberto del Rio Children's Hospital. Method: With a transversal design, the Kidscreen-27 questionnaire was applied to a selected sample of 41 patients. Results were compared with a random sample of school children paired for age and sex. Results: Children cured from ALL had lower scores than the control group, although ANOVA showed differences were not signifi cant. ALL children tended to self report as ill, signifi cantly lower in physical well-being. Average followup time was 8 years. Conclusions: Quality of life of chilean children cured from ALL is similar to school children of similar age and gender. To preserve the quality of life, it is suggested that the following measures be taken: prevention of sequelae, detection and treatment of emotional disorders, and discharge at a reasonable time.

“…Follow-up strategies to assess the long-term adverse events in these patients have not yet been addressed in Colombia. Some other Latin American countries began to implement some of these follow-up programs for CCS, such as the PINDA program (Programa Infantil Nacional de Drogas Antineoplásicas), which includes a follow-up program in Chile [ 23 , 24 , 25 ] or the proposal of the follow-up card for CCS in Mexico [ 26 ]. The objective of such long-term follow-up is to facilitate diagnosis in a timely manner, and thus to be able to appropriately manage late adverse events, reducing the frequency of severe complications [ 3 , 27 , 28 ].…”

Objectives: To describe the self-reported health problems and quality of life among adult-aged Colombian childhood and adolescent cancer survivors. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study with Colombian childhood cancer survivors (CCS) who were diagnosed before the age of 18, at the moment of study were ≥18 years, and at least 5 years had passed since diagnosis. Each participant completed a self-reported study-specific online questionnaire along with the SF-36 Health Survey to assess the prevalence of health problems and current quality of life (QoL). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent sample t-tests. Results: Out of the 122 CCS who participated, 100% reported at least one health problem, mostly gastritis, headaches, and lack of concentration, followed by obesity and fertility issues. In general, they had a good perception of their QoL, which was, on average, only diminished in the areas of vitality, emotional role functioning, and social functioning. Conclusion: Perceived health problems among the participating Colombian CCS were prevalent; most reported a good self-perceived QoL. This is the first study on understanding health problems and QoL of CCS treated in Colombia and South America. It reopens the debate on the need to carry out long-term follow-up in this population among Colombian society.
