Long-Term Complications of Therapy for Cancer in Childhood and Adolescence

by Dr. Daniel M. Green MD

Improvement in prognosis has produced an increasing population of long-term survivors of childhood cancer, whose problems have only recently received the attention of clinical investigators. This volume was written to provide pediatric and medical oncologists, pediatricians, and internists with a detailed description of the long-term complications that are recognized, a discussion of factors that are known or suspected to increase the risk or severity of a particular complication, and recommendations for monitoring patients at increased risk.
