Therapeutic advances in paediatric oncology allowed increasing numbers of children to survive until adulthood. However, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are potentially cardiotoxic and contribute to a significant morbidity and mortality, cardiovascular events remaining the leading cause of death among survivors. This review summarizes the physiopathology of treatment-related cardiovascular diseases, their incidence, and the risk factors associated with each specific therapy. Few studies have investigated the cardiac outcomes of adult surviving from childhood cancers but all demonstrated a substantial risk for late cardiac effects. Cardiovascular monitoring, prevention, and early detection of cardiac dysfunction are, therefore, the keystones of an improved long-term outcome.
