Survivorship care

  • Monitoring for late toxicity (cardiac, pulmonary, neurologic, endocrine).

  • Screening for secondary malignancies (e.g., mammography in women treated with chest RT as teens).

Modern guidelines

  • QUANTEC and newer normal tissue dose constraints help minimize risk.

  • Survivorship clinics integrate oncology, cardiology, pulmonology, endocrinology.

Patient education

  • Long-term risk communication is essential.

  • Healthy lifestyle interventions may reduce late toxicity risk.
