Abstract
One in every 900 young adults is a survivor of childhood cancer. Survivors may experience a wide variety of late effects stemming from the treatment they received. It is estimated that a significant portion of adult survivors of childhood cancer are not followed regularly in a center familiar with the late effects of their specific therapy. Therefore it is important for health care professionals in any setting to have an understanding of these possible late effects and encourage the survivor to seek appropriate follow-up. This article will provide a general overview of the potential late effects of childhood cancer therapy. Copyright 2003, Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
