[Late effects after chemotherapy].
Today, about 60% of adult patients and 80% children diagnosed with cancer will survive 5 years after diagnosis. Approximately two thirds of cancer survivors will experience at least one late effect, and about one third severe or life threatening late effects. The aim of cancer treatment today is to cure the malignant disease but at the same time, to minimize the incidence of post-treatment complications. In the current overview we summarize, based on the most recent publications, typical late effects in cancer survivors.
