Abstrakt:	Cancer-related knowledge among childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) has been underexplored. In particular, little is known about factors impacting knowledge of the need for lifelong follow-up care in CCSs. This secondary analysis of data examined acculturation, cancer-related knowledge, demographics, and clinical factors in 193 ethnically and culturally diverse CCSs (age at study 19.9 ± 2.8 years). Cancer-related knowledge gaps were found across all participants. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses indicated that Hispanic CCSs with greater Hispanic orientation were significantly more likely to be aware of a need for lifelong follow-up care. A greater focus on targeted risk communication with CCSs is warranted.
