ABSTRACT
Cancer therapy has greatly improved the survival and quality of life for patients with childhood malignancies. Adult survivors of childhood cancer represent an ever-increasing
population. By the year 2010, one of every 540 young adults in the United States, aged 20-45 years, is estimated to be a survivor of some form of childhood cancer. As these children progress into young adulthood and beyond, primary care givers must remain vigilant for the many potential long-term complications that these survivors may face.
