Brief Summary
Haematological cancer treatment often includes use of high dose glucocorticoids (steroids), chemotherapy and radiotherapy and current evidence suggests that these patients may have lower bone mineral density after treatment when compared to the general population which can predispose them to increased risk of fragility fractures. Evidence of the impact of these musculoskeletal burden to patients (e.g. quality of life) are not available. This study aims to describe musculoskeletal complications experienced by long-term haematological cancer survivors and examine the impact of the burden from the patient perspective. The study will be conducted in 2 parts; a questionnaire study and an interview study to help understand the extent of musculoskeletal problems experienced by this group of patients and the impact of this on quality of life.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
Questionniare study: To measure prevalence of musculoskeletal conditions and related symptoms experienced by adult lymphoma and leukaemia survivors
Musculoskeletal conditions and related symptoms will be recorded by patients on the study specific questionnaire and the validated questionnaire Nordic musculoskeletal questionnaire (NMQ-E) and gait, arms, legs and spine (GALS) assessment
overall length of the study - 6 months
Questionniare study: To calculate the 10-year probability of hip fracture and major osteoporotic fracture (clinical spine, forearm, hip or shoulder fracture) of adult lymphoma and leukaemia survivors
The 10-year probability of hip fracture and major osteoporotic fracture (clinical spine, forearm, hip or shoulder fracture) of adult lymphoma and leukaemia survivors will be calculated using the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and Q-Fracture calculator.
overall length of the study - 6 months
Questionniare study: To measure prevalence of sarcopenia and frailty among adult lymphoma and leukaemia survivors
Validated questionniares will be used to assess if patients have sarcopenia (SARC-F questionnaire) and frailty (FiND questionnaire).
overall length of the study - 6 months
Questionniare study: To assess quality of life and musculoskeletal function related quality of life of adult lymphoma and leukaemia survivors
This will be assessed using validated questionnaires - Short Form Survey (SF36) and Short Musculoskeletal Function Assessment (SMFA).
overall length of the study - 6 months
Interivew study: To describe experience of adult lymphoma and leukaemia survivors on musculoskeletal health, musculoskeletal related care and musculoskeletal health information provision.
Semi-structured qualitative interviews will be conducted with a topic guide to ensure same broad topics are explored in the interviews on musculoskeletal health experience, care and information provision.
overall length of the study - 6 months
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Questionnaire study: To describe the likely risk factors that may be associated with musculoskeletal consequences of adult lymphoma and leukaemia survivors Impact of musculoskeletal health
overall length of the study - 6 months

Interventions
This is a study administering questionnaire and interviews using mixed quantitative and qualitative methodology with the aim to describe and evaluate musculoskeletal health of adult haematological cancer survivors and its impact to survivors.
Eligibility Criteria
Participants will be identified from The Christie NHS Foundation Trust local haematology and lymphoma survivors' clinical patient databases. The haematology database used is the HSCT database that records all haematology patients that have undergo haematopoietic stem cell transplant. For lymphoma patients, the ADAPT (Managed Local Follow up of Long-Term Lymphoma Survivors) database will be used which records lymphoma patients that are cured and had 5 years regular hospital follow up post treatment.
You may qualify if:
- Age 18 or above at diagnosis of haematological cancer
- Diagnosis of haematological cancers: lymphoma or leukaemia
- Cancer survivors as recorded in the local database of lymphoma and haematopoietic stem cell transplant database
- Able to give written informed consent
- Able to read and understand English
You may not qualify if:
- Currently receiving any active cancer treatment
- Interview study
- Age 18 or above at diagnosis of haematological cancer
- Diagnosis of haematological cancers: lymphoma or leukaemia
- Cancer survivors as recorded in the local database of lymphoma and haematopoietic stem cell transplant database
- Able to give written or verbal informed consent
- Able to read and understand English
- Currently receiving any active cancer treatment
