ABSTRACT
Along with the rapid development of global medical technology, great progress has been made in clinical diagnosis and treatment of childhood cancer,hence childhood cancer survival rate is increasing markedly. The clinicians have become concerned about life quality of childhood cancer survivors. A number of studies reported that long-term childhood cancer survivors are at increased risk of developing metabolic syn-drome,especially after cranial irradiation,abdomal irradiation,or total body irradiation. Metabolic syndrome is a variety of metabolic abnormalities commonly clustered together in a condition of the same individual,which sig-nificantly increases risk of cardiovascular diseases. Though the etiology of the metabolic syndrome in cohorts of childhood cancer survivors has not been elucidated,the predisposing factors have been identified as the lack of hormones after cancer treatment,damage from medicine or radiation therapy,endothelial dysfunction and so on. Accordingly,early diagnosis of metabolic syndrome is of great importance with medical interventions,such as encouraging cancer survivors to improve dietary habit and enhance exercise to achieve ideal weight,and to subse-quently decrease the risk of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular events.
