Children, young people and adult survivors of childhood cancers often experience morbidity related to the treatment they received to cure their childhood cancer, rather than to the cancer itself. In this text, 20 leading European and American specialists in childhood cancer late effects contribute eight chapters discussing their experiences and reviewing the latest scientific advances concerning key clinical topics related to childhood cancer therapies. Aimed at the optimization of long-term care of childhood cancer survivors, the text features a variety of clinical perspectives reevaluating the effects of childhood cancer therapies on growth, puberty and hypothalamic and pituitary function, male and female fertility, obesity, and metabolic and bone problems, and discussion of long-term follow-up issues and strategies. For pediatric endocrinologists, adult and reproductive endocrinologists, primary care practitioners, nurses and nurse practitioners, and other health care providers involved in the planning and delivery of holistic health care.
