Childhood cancer survivors can be at risk for developing the following late effects:
- Overweight/Obesity
- Metabolic Syndrome
- Diabetes Mellitus
|
If your patient does not have a Survivor Healthcare Plan (SHP), please refer him/her to the appropriate survivor clinic.
Important factors in determining risk for late effects:
- Total dose of radiation
- BMI
- Family history
- Age of patient at time of treatment
- Endocrinopathies
- Gender
- Surgery in suprasellar region
- Prolonged corticosteroid therapy
