A new study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine shows child cancer survivors are at an increased risk of developing gastrointestinal subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMNs), according to the study’s abstract.
The study, primarily funded by the National Cancer Institute, determined that the risk for gastrointestinal SMNs was 4.6-fold higher in childhood cancer survivors than in the general population.
The study also concluded that the increased risk is associated with exposure to abdominal radiation.
