本研究的目的是评估以下内容：(1)医学决定因素对儿童癌症幸存者生命历程的影响；(2)生命历程对青年期生活质量（QoL）的影响。共有353名年龄在18-30岁之间的荷兰癌症幸存者完成了RAND-36健康调查和生命历程问卷。进行多元线性回归分析。脑肿瘤幸存者和接受放射治疗的幸存者报告说，在性心理和社会领域取得的里程碑比其他幸存者少得多。在社交领域取得较少里程碑的幸存者在生活质量上得分较低。保健提供者应通过鼓励社会和性心理发展，帮助尽量减少对患癌症儿童的伤害。应该鼓励孩子们交朋友，参加同伴活动。
The aims of this study were to assess the following: (1) The impact of medical determinants on the course of life of survivors of childhood cancer and (2) the impact of the course of life on Quality of Life (QoL) in young adulthood. A total of 353 Dutch cancer survivors, aged 18-30, completed the RAND-36 Health Survey and the Course-ofLife questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed. Survivors of brain tumours and survivors having been treated with radiotherapy reported the achievement of significantly fewer milestones in the psychosexual and social domain than the other survivors. Survivors who achieved fewer milestones in the social domain scored worse on QoL. Health-care providers should help to minimize the harm for children who grow up with cancer by encouraging social and psychosexual development. Children should be encouraged to make friends and to participate in peer activities.
