A high prevalence of hypertension was observed among pediatric renal cancer survivors, as well as an increased risk of a secondary tumor. These results emphasize the importance of long-term follow-up into adulthood, to promptly diagnose any long-term side effects of the treatment. Thanks to the increased overall survival, future protocols will pay attention to the reduction of long-term sequelae.
