A new report provides compelling evidence of the high prevalence of endocrine disorders in childhood cancer survivors, which begins soon after diagnosis and persists throughout adulthood. This finding highlights the need for awareness and education in primary care, and for specialized physicians to provide health care to adult survivors of childhood cancer.
一项新的报告提供了令人信服的证据,表明儿童癌症幸存者在诊断后不久就开始出现内分泌紊乱,且这种情况会持续到成年期。这一发现强调了初级保健中需要提高认识和开展教育,以及需要专门的医生为儿童癌症成年幸存者提供医疗保健。
