Abstract
Late effects of therapy for childhood cancer are frequent and serious. Fortunately, many late effects are also modifiable. Proactive and anticipatory risk-based care can reduce the frequency and severity of treatment-related morbidity. The primary care clinician should be an integral component in risk-based care of survivors. Continued communication between the "late effects" staff at the cancer center and the primary care clinician is essential for optimum care of this high-risk population.
