Abstract
Forty-two chapters have been structured according to the toxicities in cancer entities, and the late effects and follow-up proposals have been discussed by European and American authors. Cancer diseases in children, adolescents and young adults are treated within specific treatment protocols and can produce different late effects that will have to be cared for by specific follow-up recommendations. Over the last decades, the therapy which was considered the best was used to save patients’ lives. The pattern of toxicities and late effects have changed over time, depending on the treatment protocols used. Rather than delivering standard and conclusive recommendations for survivorship care in all healthcare systems, this book gives an instantaneous picture of the current and fast developing practices, as well as the work in progress. Its common, yet important aim will be to point out the development of harmonized guidelines for cancer survivors that could be implemented in different health-care systems.
