“…Men with brain cancer, however, appear to have the same marriage probability as cancer-free men. Studies suggest that the effect of radiation treatment may be more severe for female brain cancer survivors [24], and that psychosocial outcomes may be worse [50]. Social explanations tied to gender roles are, however, also possible [28].…”

“…On the one hand, cancer may operate through these factors in affecting the marriage rate. Cancer in childhood or during adolescent years may, for instance, reduce the chances of getting a higher education [24,25], with long-term implications for marriage opportunities. Cancer illness may also interfere with work capability and income opportunities [26,27], and a lower income is, in turn, likely to reduce the chances of marriage, especially for men.…”

Introduction Finding a life partner is of great importance for persons' life satisfaction, but cancer's potential impact on family life is not well described. Cancer's impact on marriage formation rates was therefore explored. Method Data on the entire unmarried Norwegian population aged 17-44 in 1974-2001 (N=2.2 million) come from the Cancer Registry and the Central Population Register. Marriage rates for 12,100 persons diagnosed with cancer were compared to marriage rates for otherwise similar persons using discrete-time hazard regression models. Results Men with cancer had a marriage probability that was five percent higher (OR 1.05, CI 1.01-1.11) than cancer-free men. No cancer forms reduced men's marriage rates, and significantly elevated rates were seen after skin and testicular cancer (OR 1.16 and 1.11). Cancer did not impact significantly on women's overall marriage rate (OR 0.95, CI 0.90-1.00), but pronounced deficiencies were seen after brain and breast cancer (OR 0.62 and 0.74). Skin cancer elevated women's marriage rate (OR 1.27). Male cancer survivors with children were more likely to marry than their female counterparts. Significant increases in cancer survivors' marriage rates were observed over time. Conclusion Marrying after cancer is more common today than previously, and only slight overall differences were observed in cancer survivors' marriage rates relative to those of the cancer-free population. However, while brain and breast cancer in women is associated with reduced marriage rates, testicular cancer is associated with increased rates. The differences observed between common cancer forms in young adults deserve further exploration. Implications for cancer survivors In general, marriage rates in survivors of most types of cancer are very similar to those in the population as a whole. Women with brain and breast cancer have lower marriage rates than their cancerfree counterparts. While it is necessary to identify exactly why this was observed, the information can alert those with these cancers to the potential impact on marriage and thus work to reduce the possible effect, if desired.

“…Previous research also showed that CNS-directed therapies, usually used as treatment regimens for patients with CNS-tumours, leukaemia and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, induced learning difficulties [9]. Previously, educational achievements have mainly been studied among survivors of brain tumours and leukaemia with main focus on lower levels of education [10,11], and the study populations were rather small [12,13]. Our aim was to obtain an overall understanding of the educational attainments and choice of educational fields among the 5-year cancer survivors (diagnosed <19 years) in Norway compared with the cancer-free population.…”

“…[3][4][5] Educational difficulties among survivors have been reported by survivors, parents, and teachers. [6][7][8] Survivors attain lower levels of education, [9][10][11][12] have increased use of special education services, [13][14][15][16] and have a greater likelihood of grade repetition.…”

“…Both survivors of CNS tumors and leukemia survivors had lower ninth grade results than controls, and radiation treatment was a major factor. 4,5 The Childhood/Adolescent/Young Adult Cancer Survivors (CAYACS) Research Program has assembled a cohort of all 5-year survivors of a cancer or tumor diagnosed before age 25 years in British Columbia (BC) from 1970 and population sample comparison groups from provincial registries and has linked these records to provincial administrative datasets. Within this program, our objectives for this study were to compare survivors' educational outcomes, including multiple standardized tests, with outcomes in the general student population, and to identify factors associated with poor achievement.…”

A comprehensive theoretical study of electronic transitions of naphtho‐homologated yyG and its five possible tautomers (yyG‐AO7, yyG‐AEc, yyG‐AEt, yyG‐IcO17, and yyG‐ItO17) was performed. The nature of the low‐lying excited states is discussed, and the results are compared to that of y‐bases. Geometry optimizations were performed on the lowest excited singlet ππ* states. Finally, the effects of methanol solution and hydrogen bonding with cytosine on the absorption and emission spectra were examined. The ground state structures were optimized using both the DFT and ab initio HF methods, whereas the excited‐state structures were optimized using the CIS method. The methanol solution was found to red‐shifts both the absorption and emission maxima of the studied bases except for yyG, for which the absorption and emission maxima were blue‐shifted after solvation. In addition, hydrogen bonding with cytosine was found to blue‐shifts both the absorption and emission maxima of yyG, yyG‐AO7, yyG‐IcO17, and yyG‐ItO17. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
