In the last decade, the survival of subjects affected by cancer in childhood has significantly improved. The increased lifespan of childhood cancer survivors (CCS) led to a greater risk for long-term, therapy-related morbidity. To identify the clinical predictors of metabolic adverse outcomes in CCS (average off-therapy period: 12 years), we recruited 126 survivors of different childhood cancers (86.5% hematological cancers) who received at least anticancer chemotherapy, consecutively approached during their annual oncohematological outpatient visit. At examination, anthropometric measures and cancer-related history were collected. Moreover, a fasting venous sample was carried out for measuring fasting plasma glucose and insulin, glycated hemoglobin, lipid panel, and transaminases. We calculated the indexes of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR, McAuley, and QUICKI) and secretion (HOMA-β), liver steatosis (Hepatic Steatosis Index) and fibrosis (FIB-4 and NAFLD fibrosis score), and visceral fat dysfunction (Visceral Adiposity Index). More than one-third of the subjects (37.3%) did not have normal weight, with 11.1% of them affected by obesity. At recruitment, obese subjects were at significantly higher risk for impaired fasting glucose, metabolic syndrome, visceral adipose dysfunction, and liver steatosis/fibrosis. Subjects who received bone marrow transplantation were prone to insulin resistance, while survivors of lymphoma presented a visceral adipose dysfunction These results suggest a carefully metabolic monitoring of CCS, particularly in subgroups at higher risk, to early detect these conditions, promptly begin therapeutic interventions, and mitigate the dysmetabolic-related health burden.
