Brief description/objective

Childhood cancer survivors are at risk for pulmonary morbidity due to exposure to lung-toxic treatments, including specific chemotherapeutics, radiotherapy, and surgery. Longitudinal data on lung function and its change over time are scarce. We investigated lung function trajectories in survivors over time and the association with lung-toxic treatments.
