AB  - In  the  past  four  decades,  the  cure  rate  for  childhood  cancer  has  increased  to  nearly  85%.  A  growing  understanding  of  the  biology  of  childhood  cancer  coupled  with  advances  in  systemic  cytotoxic  chemotherapy;  local  control  measures,  including  radiotherapy  and  surgery;  and  improvements  in  supportive  care  have  made  this  achievement  possible.  Today,  there  are  nearly  400,000  survivors  of  childhood  cancer  in  the  United  States,  many  of  whom  have  significant  late  effects  of  therapy.  Understanding  the  principles  of  therapy  and  the  inherent  acute  and  long-term  toxicities  of  cancer  therapy  is  important  for  pediatricians  and  all  healthcare  providers  who  are  caring  for  increasing  numbers  of  childhood  cancer  survivors.
