New cancer treatments led to a clear survival gain in childhood cancer patients in recent decades, but cardiovascular disease among long-term survivors represents the leading non-cancer cause of morbidity and mortality. The population of childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer survivors is growing fast and is characterized by an increased cardiovascular risk, therefore requiring long-term cardiovascular surveillance for early diagnosis and timely treatment of cardiotoxicity.

Abstract

New cancer treatments led to a clear survival gain in childhood cancer patients in recent decades, but cardiovascular disease among long-term survivors represents the leading non-cancer cause of morbidity and mortality. The population of childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer survivors is growing fast and is characterized by an increased cardiovascular risk, therefore requiring long-term cardiovascular surveillance for early diagnosis and timely treatment of cardiotoxicity. To increase follow-up adherence and implement preventive strategies, it is essential to ensure the transition process from pediatric to adult care. This document is the result of the collaboration between ANMCO and SICPED to ensure long-term care for CAYA cancer survivors and to guide clinicians in the transition phase.
