Cancer in young people is rare, but it is still a major health issue in Europe. Each year, more than 6,000 young people in Europe die of cancer. There are more than 300,000 European childhood cancer survivors (in 2020, they will be nearly half a million): two-thirds of them have some late side effects of treatment, that are severe and impact on the daily life of half of those affected.
The diagnosis, treatment, and medical late effects of childhood cancer may alter the psychosocial trajectory of survivors across their life course.
This review of the literature focuses on mental health symptoms, achievement of social milestones, socioeconomic attainment, and risky health behaviours in survivors of childhood cancer.
Results suggest that although most survivors are psychologically well adjusted, survivors are at risk for anxiety and depression compared with siblings.
