PURPOSE: With more @entity1 surviving a @entity1313 , neurocognitive consequences of the @entity5 and its treatment become apparent, which could affect psychosocial functioning. The present study therefore aimed to assess psychosocial functioning of pediatric @entity1313 survivors (PBTS) in detail. METHODS: Psychosocial functioning of PBTS (8-18  years) with @entity149 was compared to normative data on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), self-esteem, psychosocial adjustment, and executive functioning (one-sample t tests) and to a sibling control group on fatigue (independent-samples t test). Self-, parent-, and teacher-report questionnaires were included, where appropriate, providing complementary information. RESULTS: Eighty-two PBTS (mean age 13.4  years, SD 3.2, 49  % males) and 43 healthy siblings (mean age 14.3, SD 2.4, 40  % males) were included. As compared to the normative population, PBTS themselves reported decreased physical, @entity458 (d  =  0.39-0.62, p  <  0.008). Compared to siblings, increased fatigue-related concentration problems (d  =  0.57, p  <  0.01) were reported, although self-reported self-esteem and psychosocial adjustment seemed not to be affected. Parents of PBTS reported more psychosocial (d  =  0.81, p  <  0.000) and executive problems (d  =  0.35-0.43, p  <  0.016) in their @entity1 than parents of @entity1 in the normative population. Teachers indicated more psychosocial adjustment problems for female PBTS aged 8-11  years than for the female normative population (d  =  0.69, p  <  0.025), but they reported no more executive problems. CONCLUSIONS: PBTS with @entity149 showed @entity2673 , as reported by PBTS, parents, and teachers. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Systematic screening of psychosocial functioning is necessary so that tailored support from professionals can be offered to PBTS with @entity149 .
