Childhood cancer survivors: considerations for surgeons in the transition from pediatric to adult care

Seminars in Pediatric Surgery
T O Henderson, P C Nathan

Abstract

There are over 380,000 childhood cancer survivors (CCS) alive in the US, and the population is growing. CCS face significant long-term morbidity and mortality as a consequence of their cancer treatment and thus require lifelong, risk-based health care focused on surveillance and early intervention to minimize the impact of late effects and second malignant neoplasms (SMN). Surgeons play a critical role in the treatment of childhood cancer and the subsequent management of long-term health complications. In this review, we provide an overview of late effects associated with cancer surgeries, potential late effects that may require surgery as an adult, and cancer therapies that may impact future safe surgery and anesthesia. We also describe the barriers to successful transition from pediatric to adult health care for CCS and the importance of treatment summaries, surveillance guidelines, and survivorship care plans for surgeons caring for CCS.
