The reported late effects experienced by childhood cancer survivors treated in Singapore: A clinical audit
Despite risk-adapted protocols, timely screening is recommended to improve early detection of metabolic health, bone health and hearing impairment. Radiotherapy-treated survivors and survivors of CNS tumours and solid tumours would benefit from earlier and frequent screening. Adopting an exposure-based approach to proactively screen for late effects, coupled with survivor education, can help mitigate the biopsychosocial impacts.
