Conclusions
Our results demonstrate that eating disorder screening was successfully
implemented in our pediatric oncology clinic. With a rate more than
double than the general population, we observed that AYA patients with a
history of cancer are indeed at a higher risk for eating disorders and
should undergo routine screening. Since these patients have frequent
oncology appointments, oncology clinics should implement screening for
eating disorders. Further studies are needed to develop appropriate
screening methods for on therapy patients.
