| Abstract |
|
Advances in research and medical and supportive care have contributed to a growing population of adults formerly treated
for childhood cancer. History of cancer and its therapy can have significant life-long health implications. Late effects of
cancer therapy can be insidious on onset, occur outside the pediatric age, and contribute to premature morbidity and
mortality. In this review, I have focused on the key long-term effects of pediatric cancer therapy, particularly on the metabolic
syndrome, including cardiopulmonary complications, infertility, and secondary neoplasm. |
