Social adjustment across the lifespan in survivors of pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL): a systematic review.

Purpose: The objectives of this review were to (1) summarize studies that described social adjustment in survivors of pediatric ALL across the lifespan, (2) summarize social adjustment outcomes reported across studies, and (3) examine associations between social adjustment and disease/treatment- and non-treatment-related factors.

Methods: Searched databases included EMBASE (Ovid), MEDLINE (Ovid), PsycINFO (EBSCO Information Services), and Web of Science (Thomson Reuters). Eligible studies included: (1) original research; (2) published in English; (3) a diagnosis of cancer between 0 and 21 years; (4) survivors at least 5 years from diagnosis and/or 2 years from therapy completion; and (5) quantitative assessment of social adjustment.

Psychosocial risk, symptom burden, and concerns in families affected by childhood cancer.

Social adjustment in survivors of acute lymphoblastic leukemia without cranial radiation therapy.

Methods: Survivors of pediatric ALL (n = 38, average age at diagnosis = 4.27 years [SD = 1.
