Across countries in the world, China has the largest population of childhood cancer survivors. Research and care for the childhood cancer survivor population in China is fragmented. We searched studies published in English or Chinese language between January 1, 2000 and June 30, 2021, which examined various aspects of childhood cancer survivorship in China. The existing China-focused studies were largely based on a single institution, convenient samplings with relatively small sample sizes, restricted geographic areas, cross-sectional design, and focused on young survivors in their childhood or adolescence. These studies primarily focused on the physical late effects of cancer and its treatment, as well as the inferior psychological wellbeing among childhood cancer survivors, with few studies examining financial hardship, health promotion, and disease prevention, or healthcare delivery in survivorship. Our findings highlight the urgent need for research and evidence-based survivorship care to serve the childhood cancer survivor population in China.
在全球各国中，中国的儿童癌症幸存者人数最多。中国儿童癌症幸存者群体的研究和护理工作较为零散。我们检索了 2000 年 1 月 1 日至 2021 年 6 月 30 日期间发表的英文或中文文献，这些文献研究了中国儿童癌症幸存者生存状况的各个方面。现有的中国重点研究主要基于单个机构，采用便利抽样，样本量相对较小，研究区域受限，采用横断面设计，主要关注儿童或青少年时期的年轻幸存者。这些研究主要关注癌症及其治疗的身体晚期效应，以及儿童癌症幸存者较差的心理健康状况，很少有研究关注经济困难、健康促进和疾病预防，或生存期间的医疗保健提供。我们的研究结果强调了迫切需要开展研究和提供基于证据的生存护理，以服务于中国的儿童癌症幸存者群体。
