Abstract:
Improved survival among children and adolescents with cancer has increased the number of long-term survivors, including those who experience severe and complex late effects. Late effects may involve physical, cognitive, and psychological problems, as well as an elevated risk of secondary malignancies. The risk of late effects depends on the primary cancer diagnosis, treatment modalities, and treatment intensity. Systematic, risk-based follow-up and interdisciplinary care are essential for early identification, prevention, and management of late effects, as well as to support social and psychological reintegration, as argued in this review.

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...
