Nina kadan-Lottick, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Yale School of Medicine. Together with his colleagues studied nearly 9000 adult survivors of childhood cancer participating in multisite Survivor Study of childhood cancer. The team reviewed the incidence of marriage and divorce among survivors compared with their groups in the U.S. These are data from studies. To prepare it, participants sent surveys every two to three years for their health and psychosocial status in a research study.
Results showed that about 42 percent of the survivors were married, 7.3% were separated or divorced and 46% were never married. Patients who had previously been treated for a brain tumor were 50% more likely to never marry.
Our findings indicate that in addition to long-term physical effects of cancer, such as short stature, poor physical and cognitive functioning problems, there are also social consequences, "said kadan-Lottick, who is a member of Yale Cancer Center.
