Health inequity may drive higher symptom burden in childhood cancer survivors

Childhood cancer survivors who experience health equity issues, such as a lack of health insurance or education, are also more likely to have a higher burden of severe symptoms as adults.

The work appears today in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
