    Abstract

    OBJECTIVES:

    To review the common physical and psychosocial late effects of treatment in adult and childhood cancer survivors.

    DATA SOURCES:

    Published articles and research studies.

    CONCLUSIONS:

    More than half of individuals diagnosed with cancer can be expected to survive for more than 5 years. These survival gains have occurred because of more complex and multimodal therapy that may increase long-term toxicities.

    IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE:

    Health care providers must be familiar with these late effects to offer preventive care and health promotion strategies to this patient population.
