Keep God Weird

Children with malignant neoplastic disease endure damage
from radiation and chemotherapy that additions their hazard for
as much as quintuple as they acquire older, writers of a
new survey said.

Survivors of childhood malignant neoplastic disease had 10 modern modern times the hazard for
hardening arterias compared with their sibs and five times
the opportunity of bosom attack, according to a survey released
yesterday by the . The
report was one of five surveys highlighted by the malignant neoplastic disease group
ahead of its five-day yearly meeting scheduled in two weeks.

There are more than than 11 million subsisters in the U.S.,
and about 270,000 of them had the disease as children,
researchers said. Children who beat out malignant neoplastic disease are at a womb-to-tomb risk
of having worse health, including weak bones, infertility,
thyroid upsets and psychological complaints such as as anxiousness and
depression. The research presented yesterday is the greatest study
to look at personal effects of malignant neoplastic disease on the heart.

''This survey shows that childhood malignant neoplastic disease subsisters in their
20s are developing the sorts of bosom disease we typically see in
older adults,'' said Daniel Mulrooney, Pb writer and an
assistant professor of paediatrics at the ,
in Minneapolis. Heart disease ''may happen old age following
diagnosis, and the relative incidence additions steadily over time,'' he
said.

The survey followed 14,358 malignant neoplastic disease subsisters who were under
the age of 21 when they were diagnosed, for an norm 20 years
after their diagnosis. Researchers compared bosom jobs with
those of 3,899 of their siblings.

''Cardiovascular monitoring of childhood and young-adult
cancer subsisters should get early and be lifelong,'' Mulrooney
said in a news conference.
