Epidemiology. Endocrine disorders in adult survivors of childhood cancer

Wassim Chemaitilly et al. Nat Rev Endocrinol. 2014 Jun.

Abstract

A new report provides compelling evidence of the high prevalence of endocrine disorders in childhood cancer survivors, which begins soon after diagnosis and persists throughout adulthood. This finding highlights the need for awareness and education in primary care, and for specialized physicians to provide health care to adult survivors of childhood cancer.
