Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients exhibit excess adiposity that may result in an increased metabolic risk. Studies have shown that BMI is a poor predictor of body fatness in pediatric HSCT survivors population where diminished lean mass has been documented. The visceral adiposity index (VAI) has recently been proposed as a predictor of cardio-metabolic risk in both adults and children. However, the predictive value of this i...

Background: Endocrine disturbances are the most prevalent complications in childhood cancer survivors (CSS), especially in those treated with cranial and cervical radiation for brain tumours, such as medulloblastoma. Recent data have shown frequent delays in the diagnosis and treatment of these complications that may lead to potential side-effects on general health. Apart from the well-known hypothalamic–pituitary and growth disorders observed in CSS, th...
