How we would monitor patient 4
Potential late effects . | Therapeutic exposure . | Screening recommendations . |
---|---|---|
Cataracts | • Prednisone (3.4 g/m2) | • History of visual acuity annually |
• TBI (1200 cGy) | • Annual ophthalmologic examination | |
Neurocognitive dysfunction | • TBI (1200 cGy) | • Annual screening for cognitive/ vocational difficulties |
• Formal neuropsychological evaluation if difficulties identified | ||
Hypothyroidism | • TBI (1200 cGy) | • Serum TSH and free T4 annually |
Cardiomyopathy | • Doxorubicin (210 mg/m2) | • History and PE annually for signs/ symptoms of CHF |
• 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 (1200 cGy) | • Fasting serum glucose or hemoglobin A1C every 2 y |
• Prednisone (3.4 g/m2) | ||
Dyslipidemia | • TBI (1200 cGy) | • Lipid panel every 2 y |
Hypertension | • Prednisone (3.4 g/m2) | • Annual manual BP monitoring |
Pulmonary toxicity | • Bleomycin (60 units/m2) | • History and PE for chronic cough, shortness of breath |
• TBI (1200 cGy) | • Pulmonary function tests at 1 y after BMT, then as clinically indicated | |
• Ensure that patient received post-BMT immunizations, particularly pneumococcal (PCV, 3 doses; PPSV23, 1 dose) because of history of chest radiation | ||
• Ensure that patient receives yearly influenza vaccine | ||
Renal toxicity | • TBI (1200 cGy) | • Renal function panel (serum creatinine, electrolytes) 1 y post-BMT (or at baseline visit) and then as clinically indicated |
• Urinalysis for proteinuria, and BP monitoring yearly | ||
Gonadal dysfunction | • Cyclophosphamide (8.4 g/m2) | • LH, FSH, estradiol at 1 y after BMT or baseline visit, then as clinically indicated |
• Procarbazine (4.2 g/m2) | • History of sexual dysfunction and fertility problems | |
• Melphalan (150 mg/m2) | ||
• TBI (1200 cGy) | ||
Osteonecrosis | • Prednisone (3.4 g/m2) | • History and PE annually to assess for joint pain and reduced range of motion |
• TBI (1200 cGy) | • Radiograph/MRI (in the event of symptoms) | |
Osteoporosis | • Prednisone (3.4 g/m2) | • DXA scan 1 y after BMT, then as clinically indicated |
Peripheral neuropathy | • Vincristine (8.4 mg/m2) | • Targeted history and PE 1 y post-BMT and then as clinically indicated |
• Vinblastine (36 mg/m2) | ○ Looking for signs/ symptoms of abnormal sensations/sensory loss, loss of balance, foot drop, etc. | |
t-MN | • Cyclophosphamide (8.4 g/m2) | • Annual history and physical examination (for signs and symptoms of anemia and thrombocytopenia) up to 10 y after BMT |
• Procarbazine (4.2 g/m2) | • Laboratory evaluation (complete blood count with differential, bone marrow biopsy) only if clinically indicated | |
• Doxorubicin (210 mg/m2) | ||
• Melphalan (150 mg/m2) | ||
• Etoposide (2.8 g/m2) | ||
Subsequent solid malignancies | • TBI (1200 cGy) | • Management of radiation-related breast cancer by breast oncologist |
• 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 of contralateral breast | ||
• Ultrasound and fine needle aspiration (if palpable thyroid nodule identified) |
