Key Message

Five evidence-based guidelines were identified; 3 evidence-based guidelines provided recommendations for both colorectal and breast cancer screening of previous survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancers who had received radiation to the abdominal, pelvic, chest or thorax region, while 2 evidence-based guidelines were specific to breast cancer screening alone.
