[Correspondence] Late effects of childhood cancer – Authors' reply

We thank Amanda Friend and colleagues for their comments. Although our Article1 reflects the most extensive and comprehensive clinical characterisation of long-term morbidities had by adult survivors of childhood cancer to date, we are actively working on additional studies beyond this initial report to expand the list of clinically assessed chronic health conditions. We agree with Friend and colleagues that mental wellbeing is a fundamental component of health. As underscored in their Correspondence, our team has reported on the importance of neurocognitive and psychological outcomes among adult survivors of childhood cancer, which we acknowledged in our Article as an important gap.
