What are the cardiovascular effects of non-cardiac sequelae resulting from childhood cancer treatment?
Understanding the cardiovascular impact of non-cardiac late effects of childhood cancer treatment is essential to lessen associated morbidity and mortality in survivors.
Hinkle et al. (1998) conducted a review in Childhood cancer survivors. Childhood cancer therapy was evaluated. Childhood cancer therapy is associated with non-cardiac late sequelae, such as thyroid dysfunction, obesity, and pulmonary disease, which can significantly impact cardiovascular status in survivors.
