Survivors of childhood cancer are at risk of experiencing fatigue, pain, lower levels of physical activity, increased engagement in risky health behavior, and poor social adjustment, after finishing treatment. Risks are more pronounced for survivors of specific diagnoses or receiving specific treatment protocols. Interventions to address these outcomes are in their infancy. Future research should focus on exploring the antecedents and consequences of these outcomes. In the meantime, researchers and cancer centers should attempt to provide high-quality and accessible health information to survivors through various media outlets to encourage healthy behaviors.
儿童癌症幸存者在治疗结束后,有出现疲劳、疼痛、身体活动水平降低、参与危险健康行为增加和社会适应不良的风险。对于特定诊断或接受特定治疗方案的幸存者,风险更为明显。针对这些结果的干预措施尚处于起步阶段。未来的研究应集中在探索这些结果的前因和后果上。与此同时,研究人员和癌症中心应尝试通过各种媒体向幸存者提供高质量和易于获取的健康信息,以鼓励健康行为。
