This study compares the body image between adolescent cancer survivors and their siblings and finds that female survivors, survivors treated with haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and survivors with chronic health conditions are at risk of body image concerns during adolescence.
Background Cancer and its treatment may impair the body image of childhood cancer survivors during adolescence. We compared the body image between adolescent cancer survivors and their siblings, and determined whether survivors' body image is associated with socio-demographic characteristics, clinical characteristics and chronic health conditions. Procedure As part of the nationwide Swiss Childhood Cancer Survivor Study, we sent questionnaires to adolescents (aged 16-19 years), who survived >5 years after having been diagnosed with childhood cancer between 1989 and 2010. Siblings received the same questionnaire. We assessed the level of agreement with three body image statements referring to body satisfaction and preferences for changes. Chronic health conditions were classified into cardiovascular, pulmonary, endocrine, musculoskeletal, renal/digestive, neurological and hearing or vision impairment. We used ordered logistic regression models to identify determinants of a more negative body image. Results Our study included 504 survivors (48% female) with a median age at study of 17.7 years (interquartile range: 16.8-18.6) and 136 siblings. Survivors and siblings reported overall comparable levels of agreement with body image statements (all p > .05). Female survivors (all odds ratio [ORs] >= 1.7), survivors treated with haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT; all ORs >= 2.2), and survivors with >= 2 chronic health conditions (all ORs >= 1.4) reported a more negative body image. This was particularly pronounced for survivors suffering from musculoskeletal or endocrine conditions. Conclusion Female survivors, survivors treated with HSCT or with chronic health conditions are at risk of body image concerns during adolescence. Increased awareness among clinicians and targeted psychosocial support could mitigate such concerns.
