- Objectives To study, longitudinally, the development of apical root resorptions (ARRs) in Turner syndrome (TS) and to correlate these to the karyotype and orthodontic treatment. Materials and methods Thirty girls with TS participated in the study, mean age 10.8 years (6.6-23.4) at the first registration (T1), and 14.3 years (9.2-25.2) at the second registration (T2). Forty girls without TS, orthodontically untreated, served as controls. ARR was diagnosed in panoramic radiographs, and root/crown ratios of the lower permanent first molar were measured at T1 and T2 with a mean follow-up period of 42 (11-89) months. Results During the follow-up period, ARR was seen in 40% of all TS patients and in 2.5% in the control group. The majority displayed ARR on the distal root of the mandibular first permanent molars (30%). ARR at T2 was seen in 56% of 45,X and isochromosome karyotype and 21% of every other TS karyotype patients. AAR was seen in 5 out of 12 TS patients with orthodontic treatment. No statistically significant differences in root/crown ratios between T1 and T2 were found. Limitations The number of patients studied is limited, thus possible differences might be disguised for this reason. Spatial projection errors in panoramic radiograph recordings might have influenced measurement, resulting in an underestimation of ARR. Conclusions There is a higher risk for ARR in girls with TS and probably the risk is therefore probably also higher during orthodontic treatment. Thus, if treated, frequent radiographic follow-ups should be taken during the treatment. Protocol The protocol was not published before trial commencement.

- Background With increasing number of childhood cancer survivors, there is a growing population of adult survivors that reach reproductive age. Long-term side effects of cancer treatment can include damage to the reproductive organs and lead to premature ovarian failure. The purpose of the study was to examine female childhood cancer survivors’, participating in long-term follow-up, experiences of communication and information regarding fertility and reproductive health outcomes. We also aimed to investigate how they experienced the transition from pediatric to adult health services. Methods Participants for the study were all part of a longitudinal project, identified through the Long-Term Follow-Up Clinic at the Oncology Department at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden. Fifty-four female childhood cancer survivors treated with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy before 18 years of age were included between 2016 and 2018. During the years 20182022, twenty-five of the participants reached the age of 25 and were invited to conduct a semi-structured interview. Twenty-two agreed to participate. The interview includes questions about fertility, collaboration with healthcare and communication regarding reproductive options when diagnosed with cancer. Interview data was analysed inductively using a thematic analysis. Results The analysis of the data resulted in three main themes; (1) Communication challenges, (2) Information about potential infertility and (3) Follow-up – a broader perspective, with a total of 9 subthemes. Many of the women expressed lack of information regarding reproductive health and a disappointment in their follow-up. Conclusion It is evident that the young women have felt a lack of information regarding fertility, reproductive health outcomes and options after their cancer treatment. The results of our study also indicate that transition from pediatric health care to adult health care needs to be facilitated and supported.

- Introduction Young female adult childhood cancer survivors have frequently been reported to be concerned about their health, in particular their future fertility. The aim of this study was to examine how self-image, mental health and perceptions of the fertility of young female adults are affected by the illness. Methods A qualitative study with interviewer-administered semistructured questions was performed from May 2018 to October 2020 at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Sweden. Fourteen women participated in the study. The median age of the participants was 27 (25–31) years. Results The interviews were recorded and analysed inductively by a thematic approach. Forty-one codes were created, of these 21 initial codes were found to be related to the aim of the present study. Subsequently, four broad themes were created and these were reanalysed and constituted three main themes, resulting in the labelling: ‘An experience for better and worse’, ‘An everyday life similar and yet different from peers’ and ‘An uncertain fertility’, and a relevant number (11) of inclusive subthemes. Participants expressed that the experience of surviving childhood cancer both strengthened and impaired their everyday life and implied the lack of information about fertility. Conclusions Although a long time, over 10 years, had passed since the cancer treatment for all participants, the experiences of the illness were still present in their lives, both for better and worse. Healthcare workers need to keep this complexity in mind when facing young childhood cancer survivors. Thus, there is a need for individualized support regarding fertility and mental health.
