Abstract
Large numbers of people are now surviving longer following treatment for cancer. The field of surveillance for late-effects of cancer treatment has grown out of this. The long-term effects of cancer treatment may include almost any organ system, but endocrine sequelae are most common. This article describes the late endocrine effects that may occur following treatment for cancer and discusses the issues surrounding the long-term follow-up of this particular group of patients.
