Variable based on Dx: Childhood cancer includes several different cancers. The outcomes are variable from one cancer to the other and so are the complications. Some common ones include risk of growth retardation, infertility and organ toxicities such as Heart damage or kidney damage in rare cases. Most of the complications are preventable or treatable.
