Article Title: Survivorship after childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer
Abstract: Survivors of pediatric and young adult cancers face lifetime risks associated with their cancer therapy, with a significant proportion at risk for serious morbidity and premature mortality. This growing population has complex healthcare needs. In this article, we present 4 case vignettes to illustrate specific risks of cancer therapy and describe a model for the care of survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer.
