ABSTRACT
Problems facing childhood cancer survivors
Due to the intensive, but necessary, treatment, people who survived anticancer therapy in childhood and early adulthood are at increased risk for developing serious chronic diseases compared to the general population. In addition, the proportion of children permanently cured of cancer (which is at least a five-year survival) is increasing, now exceeding 80% in most European countries. Problems resulting from the development of late complications in convalescents are becoming increasingly noticeable. The type of side effects associated with treatment depends, among others, on the methods of treatment or therapeutic agents used. The problems that survivors face may concern diverse aspects of life, including mental health and socioeconomic conditions, fertility, or a general increase in the risk of mortality due to chronic diseases affecting organs such as the heart, lungs or kidneys. Therefore, it is important to recognize the problems faced by survivors of childhood, early-adolescent and young adult cancer, and physicians of various specialties should be familiar with the subject and the latest guidelines.
