A 26-year-old woman presents to an internist to establish primary care. Her medical history includes a diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) at 3 years of age. She does not know what therapies she received, but her parents told her that she was treated for 2 years and that her leukemia never recurred. She is a high-school graduate and works as a receptionist. What are the issues to consider in the care of this long-term survivor of childhood leukemia?
