| Childhood cancer may be linked to later heart problems -- Internet Source
A new study shows that childhood cancer survival is linked to an increased risk of long–term abnormalities in cardiac function. The authors found that abnormal cardiac function was observed during long–term follow–up (average duration of follow–up was 15.4 years) in 27 percent of childhood cancer survivors. It was most common in patients who received combined cancer treatments, but the authors found no evidence that sex, high–dose cyclophosphamide or ifosfamide (two cancer treatment drugs) were risk factors for cardiac dysfunction. |
