Abstract
Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for health complications secondary to cancer treatment, and these late effects may be exacerbated by organ dysfunction, aging, and unhealthy behaviors. Despite their vulnerable health profiles, survivors engage in risky health behaviors at alarming rates, that are, in many instances, comparable to their peers who have never been treated for cancer. Tailored, lifestyle interventions that promote healthy behavioral practices and risk reduction strategies have been modestly effective across behaviors. This chapter will review prevalence, risk factors, and interventions that have been conducted to date with childhood cancer survivors in the areas of tobacco use, alcohol and illicit drug use, physical activity, nutrition, sun exposure, and risky sexual behavior. Recommendations for intervening with survivors in the healthcare setting to promote healthy behavior change will be provided.
