Longitudinal echocardiographic monitoring and cardiovascular outcomes in adult survivors of childhood cancer
Survivors of childhood cancer are at high risk for both MACE and CTRCD even many years after initial diagnosis. Patients who received treatment for pediatric cancer, then subsequently enrolled in the STAR Program as adults and received appropriate cardiovascular monitoring and treatment showed improvement in both LVEF and GLS by the end of follow-up, underscoring the importance of a dedicated survivorship clinic for adult survivors of pediatric cancer.
