Long term cure and maximising reintegration into society are major goals of childhood cancer treatment. Whether reintegration had occurred was assessed using geographic mobility as an objective proxy. Age, sex, and socioeconomic status were identified as being independently associated with mobility whereas diagnosis and relapse were not.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
