Background and aim: Multifaceted risk factors impair bone mass in childhood cancer survivors. Aims of the study were to evaluate bone mass and its determinant and fracture prevalence in CBCS 2 (G+2) or 5 (G+5) years after off therapy (OT).Methods: Seventy-three (G+2) and 87 (G+5) CBCS were evaluated at 12.9±4.2 and 14.9±4.4 yrs, respectively. Diagnoses were: astrocytic (G+2:n=25, G+5:n=24), embryonal (G+2:n=28, ...

The identification of markers indicative of pathological FMS plays a pivotal role in the prevention of ACH complications.Objective: Identify key cranio-cervical junction neuroradiological features for the surgical choice and for the decompression outcome.Methods: Out of 191 ACH patients, we selected 24 patients before 4 years of age, who performed a first brain MRI and/or CT. Patients were divided into 2 groups: surgically treated ...
