Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: We aimed to review the recent research on the childhood cancer symptom experience pertaining to socioeconomic factors, biology and genetics, growth and development, family psychosocial dynamics, and social and treating environments to begin to formulate recommendations for a personalized approach to symptom management. RECENT FINDINGS: Cancer symptoms are common and distressing in children and negatively impact child and family quality of life. Many interacting factors influence children's cancer symptoms experiences, including the assessment and management of such symptoms. This paper highlights several gaps in the research related to the cancer symptom experience including routine symptom assessment, the impact of socioeconomic, biological, and genetic factors on symptoms, and the establishment of effective symptom management partnerships with families. Based on our findings, we provide recommendations related to that research which is ready to be implemented into clinical practice and areas for needed future efforts.
