Bone mineral status after treatment of malignant lymphoma in childhood and adolescence
Abstract
The relationship between bone mineral mass and cumulative dose of corticosteroids (CDC) was investigated in 42 children and adolescents treated for Hodgkin disease (HD; n = 22) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL; n = 20). The median age at the time of the study was 24.1 years for HD survivors and 14.1 years for NHL survivors.
