直到最近人们才意识到，照顾和治愈癌症儿童的努力并不以生存而告终。在许多情况下，可能需要持续的监测和各种干预措施，以确定和照顾治疗的后果，这些后果可能在早期出现或仅在几十年后出现，并损害生存者的健康和生活质量。超过三分之二的儿童癌症幸存者因其疾病、治疗或两者兼而有之而经历晚期效应-即并发症、残疾或不良后果-这是本报告的重点，该报告概述了一项全面的政策议程，将改善保健服务和后续行动、对保健提供者的教育和培训的投资，并扩大了研究，以改善这一不断增长的人口的长期前景，现在超过27万美国人。
Only more recently has it been realized that the intense effort to care for and cure a child with cancer does not end with survival. Continued surveillance and a variety of interventions may, in many cases, be needed to identify and care for consequences of treatment that can appear early or only after several decades and impair survivorsa (TM) health and quality of life. The more than two-thirds of childhood cancer survivors who experience late effects -- that is, complications, disabilities, or adverse outcomes -- as a result of their disease, its treatment, or both, are the focus of this report which outlines a comprehensive policy agenda that links improved health care delivery and follow-up, investments in education and training for health care providers, and expanded research to improve the long-term outlook for this growing population now exceeding 270,000 Americans.
