children with cancer
Long-term survival rates for
children with cancer are increasing
dramatically say pediatric experts.
With on< in 900 young adults
estimated to be a childhood cancer
survivor by the year 2000, there is
growing hope for successful
treatment of an illness that is
relatively rare in children.
'Today, childhood cancer survivor
rates exceed 65 percent," said Dr.
ZoAnn Dreyer, an assistant
professor of pediatrics at Baylor
College of Medicine in Houston.
"But as the survivor population
grows, we are beginning to see a
number of delayed effects causcd by
previous cancer therapies."
Dreyer, director of the Long-Term
Survival Clinic at the Texas
Children's Cancer Center, says the
clinic provides diagnostic, education
and treatment resources for patients
who are survivors of childhood
cancer and have been off treatment
for at least two years.
"A big concern is the future
quality of life for these young
survivors. We want to keep them
healthy," said Dreyer.
Possible effects of cancer
treatment can include heart
problems from chemotherapy or
radiation, learning disabilities,
infertility, growth/hormonal
disturbances, the development of
second malignancies, and
psychological issues.
"The effects of surviving cancer
can be subtle and difficult to
diagnose," said Dreyer. "That's
why it is important that long-term
survivors have access to specialists
skill in the follow-up, detection and
intervention of such problems."
For most long-term cancer
survivors, life is not centered
around worries about reoccurrence
of the disease, but rather on
learning how to remain healthy.
"Monitoring these patient's
unique health needs can keep them
healthy for years to come," said
Dreyer.
Survivors of childhood cancer,
including those who received their
primary cancer treatment at other
hospitals, are eligible for evaluation
at the Texas Children's Cancer
Center's Long-Term Survivor
Clinic. For more information, call
1-800-CANCER 9.
