How we would monitor patient 2

Potential late effectsTherapeutic exposureScreening recommendations
Cataracts • Corticosteroids • History of visual acuity annually 
• TBI (1320 cGy) • Annual ophthalmologic examination 
Neurocognitive dysfunction • Cytarabine (6.7 g/m2• Annual screening for cognitive/vocational difficulties 
• TBI (1320 cGy) • Formal neuropsychological evaluation if difficulties identified 
Hypothyroidism • TBI (1320 cGy) • Active management of hypothyroidism by endocrinologist (patient presented with overt hypothyroidism) 
Cardiomyopathy • Daunorubicin (270 mg/m2• History and PE annually for signs/ symptoms of CHF 
• Idarubicin (36 mg/m2• Echocardiogram annually 
• Aggressive management of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia (goal: maintain systolic BP <120 mm Hg, HbA1C ≤6.5%, LDL <100 mg/dL, total cholesterol <200 mg/dL) 
• Health promotion: smoking cessation, diet rich in fruits and vegetables, physical activity per ACS guidelines 
Diabetes • TBI (1320 cGy) • Fasting serum glucose or HbA1C every 2 y 
• Corticosteroids  
Dyslipidemia • TBI (1320 cGy) • Lipid panel every 2 y 
• Sirolimus  
Hypertension • Corticosteroids • Annual manual BP monitoring 
Pulmonary toxicity • TBI (1320 cGy) • History and PE for chronic cough, shortness of breath 
• Pulmonary function tests at 1 y after BMT, then as clinically indicated 
• Assure that patient received post-BMT immunizations, particularly pneumococcal (PCV, 3 doses; PPSV23 1 dose) because of history of chest radiation 
• Assure that patient receives yearly influenza vaccine 
Renal toxicity • TBI (1320 cGy) • Renal function panel (serum creatinine, electrolytes) 1 y post-BMT (or at baseline visit) and then as clinically indicated 
• Sirolimus • Urinalysis for proteinuria, and BP monitoring yearly 
Gonadal dysfunction • Cyclophosphamide (3.2 g/m2• LH, FSH, estradiol (females) at 1 y after BMT (or baseline visit) and then as clinically indicated 
• TBI (1320 cGy) • History of sexual dysfunction and fertility problems 
Osteonecrosis • Corticosteroids and sirolimus • History and PE annually to assess for joint pain and reduced range of motion 
• TBI (1320 cGy) • Radiograph/MRI (in the event of symptoms) 
Osteoporosis • Corticosteroids • DXA scan 1 y after BMT, then as clinically indicated 
• Sirolimus  
t-MN • Cyclophosphamide (3.2 g/m2• Annual history and physical examination (for signs and symptoms of anemia and thrombocytopenia) up to 10 y after BMT 
• Daunorubicin (270 mg/m2• Laboratory evaluation (complete blood count with differential, bone marrow biopsy) only if clinically indicated 
• Idarubicin (36 mg/m2
Subsequent solid malignancies • TBI (1320 cGy) • Annual history and physical examination, including oral cavity, uterine cervix, external genitalia, neck for thyroid nodules, and full skin examination 
• Clinical breast examination every 6 mo, annual mammograms and MRI scans beginning 8 y after radiation or age 25 y (whichever occurs last) 
• Ultrasound and fine needle aspiration (for those with palpable thyroid nodules)
