Key Points

To review strategies for long-term pulmonary function surveillance and preventive respiratory care in survivors of pediatric cancer.
Synthesis of clinical evidence regarding therapy-induced pulmonary toxicity from pediatric chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and stem cell transplantation.
Evaluation of lung function trajectories, diagnostic testing modalities, and risk stratification protocols in survivorship care.
Cancer therapies administered during childhood can induce subclinical or progressive restrictive, obstructive, and diffusion-capacity lung abnormalities years after treatment completion.
Structured longitudinal monitoring facilitates early detection of impaired lung growth and informs preventive interventions to preserve long-term respiratory health.
