We assessed breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening practices in adult retinoblastoma (Rb) survivors and non-Rb controls. We found that most Rb survivors adhered to general population cancer screening recommendations. Rates did not differ among Rb survivors and non-Rb controls, or among survivors by laterality, even though bilateral survivors reported higher levels of concern about future health and cancer risk. Older age, being overweight/obese, and lack of recent contact with medical personnel were independently associated with decreased utilization of Pap smear among female Rb survivors. Future studies are warranted to determine whether these associations might provide an opportunity for intervention.
我们评估了成年视网膜母细胞瘤(Rb)幸存者和非 Rb 对照者的乳腺癌、宫颈癌和结直肠癌筛查实践。我们发现,大多数 Rb 幸存者都遵守了一般人群的癌症筛查建议。Rb 幸存者和非 Rb 对照组之间的比率没有差异,也没有幸存者的侧别差异,尽管双侧幸存者报告了更高水平的对未来健康和癌症风险的担忧。年龄较大、超重/肥胖以及与医务人员最近没有联系与女性 Rb 幸存者中巴氏涂片利用减少独立相关。未来的研究需要确定这些关联是否可能为干预提供机会。
