Title: Reducing cisplatin-induced hearing loss in children: Pedmark and the audiologists’ role
Overview: This presentation will review the development of cisplatin induced hearing loss and the incidence, risk-factors, and long-term effects of cisplatin ototoxicity in children. The pre-clinical and clinical work that led to the development of two clinical cancer trials designed to evaluate the efficacy of sodium thiosulfate (STS) for reducing cisplatin-induced hearing loss will be reviewed, focusing on the audiologist’s role and perspective. The clinical trial results will be presented and the importance of mentorship and interdisciplinary teamwork in clinical research will be highlighted.
Learner Outcomes: Upon completion of this session, participants will be able to:
• Identify the incidence and risk factors for ototoxicity in children treated with cisplatin.
• Discuss the results of the clinical trials that studied sodium thiosulfate for reducing cisplatin ototoxicity
