Abstract
11-17 Health outcomes research findings have had a major influence on changes in paediatric cancer therapy and have informed health-screening strategies of childhood cancer survivors. 7-10 Current understanding of late health outcomes in adult survivors of childhood cancer has largely been the result of a number of cohort studies that have been instrumental in identifying, quantifying and characterizing cancer treatment-related health risks. Robust characterization of health outcomes and cancer-, cancer treatmentand health behaviour-related exposures provide an unparalleled opportunity to identify novel associations and to refine our understanding of the effects of cancer and its treatment on the health of aging survivors. Whereas SJLIFE does not specify age at cancer diagnosis, SJCRH generally restricts acceptance to children<25 years of age at the time of cancer diagnosis. [Extracted from the article]
