International Guideline Harmonization Group Recommendations for Breast Cancer Surveillance in Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancer Survivors After Anthracyclines
Abstract
PURPOSE With new evidence emerging about breast cancer risk following anthracycline chemotherapy, the International Late Effects of Childhood Cancer Guideline Harmonization Group updated the evidence and breast cancer surveillance recommendations for female childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer survivors. METHODS The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodology was used to incorporate new knowledge and refine breast cancer surveillance recommendations. The guideline panel updated the systematic literature review and revised recommendations based on new evidence, clinical judgment, and assessments of benefits and harms of surveillance, ensuring adaptability across various health care systems. RESULTS The literature update revealed new findings on the effects of anthracyclines on breast cancer risk in female CAYA cancer survivors. Moderate-quality evidence shows no significant association between doxorubicin doses
