  1. CCS childhood cancer survivors, ICCC-3 International Classification of Childhood Cancer, 3rd edition, IQR interquartile range.
  2. a“Active” and “former active smoking” assessed in adolescents and adults; “passive smoking” in children corresponds to having parents who currently smoke or formerly smoked, “never smoking” in children corresponds to having both parents who never smoked.
  3. bTime from first diagnosis until date of answering the questionnaire.
  4. cOther tumors in transplanted survivors include: tumors of the central nervous system (n = 6), retinoblastoma (n = 1), malignant bone tumors (n = 7), soft tissue sarcomas (n = 4), malignant germ cell tumors (n = 3) Other tumors in non-transplanted survivors include: tumors of the central nervous system (n = 12), retinoblastoma (n = 1), malignant bone tumors (n = 9), soft tissue sarcomas (n = 4), malignant germ cell tumors (n = 3).
