What does childhood cancer do on height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends...: Usually the cancer itself does not affect height, but our treatments in order to achieve a cure can affect growth. This can be caused by both chemotherapy and radiation treatment, if this was a part of the treatment regimen. If you have further questions, i would take with the patient's oncologist, or if they have been off treatment for a while, get them to see a long term cancer specialist.
