Childhood cancer survivors tend to die of the same factors as the general population, though at an earlier age. Research showed, though, that these risks can be modified.
A report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study provides strong evidence of the importance of a healthy lifestyle for adults who were treated for cancer as children.
Survivors of childhood cancer are at excess risk of late mortality even 40 years from
diagnosis, due to many of the leading causes of death in the US population. Modifiable
lifestyle and cardiovascular risk factors associated with reduced risk for late mortality
should be part of future interventions.
