Pyrs person-years, Obs observed, Exp expected, SIR standardised incidence ratio, RR relative risk, AER absolute excess risks, HL Hodgkin lymphoma, RT radiotherapy. *Survivors were exposed to radiotherapy.

aRRs were derived from a model including sex, childhood cancer diagnosis, country, decade of childhood diagnosis, age at childhood diagnosis, and attained age.

bRRs were derived from a model including sex, childhood cancer diagnosis, country, decade of childhood diagnosis, age at childhood diagnosis, and follow-up time.

cRRs were derived from a model including sex, country, age at childhood diagnosis, attained age and treatment.

dExcluded Nordic countries (Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland) and Italy population-based data because of lack of treatment data.
