CONCLUSION
This review highlights the lack of studies on interventions to optimise long-term health in pediatric oncology, especially for younger children and patients still undergoing cancer treatment. No conclusive evidence favouring specific interventions were identified, although there is preliminary evidence that health promotion interventions are feasible and potentially beneficial for children with cancer and survivors. These results also provide insights that are useful in integrating future health promotion interventions in childhood cancer patients and survivors. Future research is vital in identifying and defining the most efficient methods to implement these programs and optimize patient outcomes.
