Continued surveillance and a variety of interventions may, in many cases, be needed to identify and care for consequences of treatment that can appear early or only after several decades and impair survivors (TM) health and quality of life. The more than two-thirds of childhood cancer survivors who experience late effects -- that is, complications, disabilities, or adverse outcomes -- as a result of their disease, its treatment, or both, are the focus of this report which outlines a comprehensive policy agenda that links improved health care delivery and follow-up, investments in education and training for health care providers, and expanded research to improve the long-term outlook for this growing population now exceeding 270,000 Americans. 606 $aTumors in children$xComplications 606 $aTumors in children$xPatients$xServices for 606 $aTumors in children$xGovernment policy$zUnited States 615 0$aTumors in children$xComplications. 615 0$aTumors in children$xPatients$xServices for. 615 0$aTumors in children$xGovernment policy 676 $a362.1/9892994 701 $aWeiner$b Susan Lipschitz$f1942-$01804480 701 $aSimone$b Joseph V$01804481 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910957109103321 996 $aChildhood cancer survivorship$94352526 997 $aUNINA
