Long-term survivors of childhood cancer are at increased risk of developing subsequent neoplasms (SNs), particularly those exposed to radiotherapy and chemotherapy, as well as those with genetic predisposition. This risk is substantial, with cancer treatments and genetic risk jointly contributing to a substantial proportion of incident SN cases. The study,
