According to the National Cancer Institute, ∼300,000 children globally are diagnosed with cancer each year. Advancements in chemotherapy and radiotherapy have revolutionized cancer treatment and improved long-term survival. Although many survivors will remain in good health with disease-free prognoses, three fourths will experience short-term and long-term effects from treatment.
