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.
