Long-term side-effects of childhood cancer survivors
Long-term side effects in childhood cancer survivors vary widely depending on the type of cancer, the treatments used (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, bone marrow transplant), and the child’s age at diagnosis. These side effects can appear months, years, or even decades later, and they’re often grouped into physical, cognitive, emotional and social impacts.
