Key Points Question Are adolescent and young adult cancer survivors at increased risk for endocrine diseases? Findings This Danish population-based cohort study that included 32 548 adolescent and young adult cancer survivors shows a 73% higher risk for endocrine diseases in these cancer survivors than a matched cancer-free population.
