Abstract

During the past 40 years, advances in cancer treatment have drastically improved survival rates for children with cancer. Of the 325,000 childhood cancer survivors in the United States, 24 % have survived greater than 30 years from diagnosis. This growing population of survivors brings the wide array of potential late effects of cancer therapy to light. The developing cardiovascular system is particularly vulnerable to cardiotoxic cancer therapies such as anthracyclines and radiation. These treatment modalities have been found to result in chronic, progressive cardiac dysfunction occurring months to decades after treatment.
