Survivors Of Childhood Cancer

Young adult survivors of childhood cancer have unique challenges and perspectives related to their childhood cancer experience. Like younger survivors, they are at risk for late effects, which often increase with age. However, they have greater risk of adjustment difficulties than younger survivors, do not engage in optimal levels of health behaviors to mitigate risk for future cancer and late effects, and often do not engage in appropriate adult-oriented follow-up care. Further, young adult survivors may deal with cognitive, educational, social, and vocational challenges, as well as difficulty in autonomous functioning. A variety of demographic and disease- and treatment-related variables confer risk for negative outcomes, with brain tumor survivors or those with treatment exposures to the central nervous system most often at risk. On the other hand, young adult survivors and their parents experience positive psychological benefits of the cancer experience. Emerging topics for further research include the impact of new therapies (e.g., immunotherapy, proton therapy) and genetic predisposition.
