Abstract:
What's new? Children and adolescents who survive cancer have increased mortality rates compared with the general population. Here, the authors investigated trends in mortality among European cancer survivors 5 or more years after diagnosis. They pooled data on more than 77 000 patients from 12 cancer registries and clinics across Europe. Patients were diagnosed between 1940 and 2018, and all‐cause mortality fell steeply during this period. However, excess mortality remained high, even for subjects in their 60s, highlighting the need for long term care for childhood cancer survivors.
