Healthy lifestyle associated with reduced mortality risk in childhood cancer survivors

A report from the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) provides strong evidence of the importance of a healthy lifestyle for adults who were treated for cancer as children

#ChildhoodCancer survivors who received a low chest radiation and anthracycline dose are not at a heightened risk of heart problems. Read the new study in The Lancet Oncology and learn why Dr. Matthew Ehrhardt says, "We no longer recommend surveillance echocardiograms." http://bit.ly/3xrUhsS #SurvOnc #StJude #StJudeResearch
#ChildhoodCancer survivors are at a greater mortality risk than their age-matched peers. Learn how chronic health conditions and living in a socioeconomically deprived place impact survivors' mortality risk. The new study was published in the journal Cancer Discovery. http://bit.ly/3jMHDS2 #StJudeResearch #SurvOnc
Access matters: lack of resources is associated with increased mortality in childhood cancer survivors

Find how increased mortality in childhood cancer survivors is independently associated with local resource deprivation and certain chronic health conditions.
