Survivors of childhood cancer are living longer than ever — but the late effects of their treatment present a distinct and evolving set of clinical challenges that most women's health clinicians are not fully equipped to address. In this session, Drs. Rebecca Eary and Melissa Erickson translate their deep expertise in childhood and adolescent cancer survivorship into a practical clinical framework for the non-specialist. They will review the unique late effects of pediatric cancer treatments — including cardiotoxicity, endocrine disruption, premature ovarian insufficiency, reproductive impact, and secondary malignancy risk — and address what oncomenopause. Women's health clinicians specifically need to understand when these survivors present for menopause care. A session that fills a critical and often overlooked gap in the clinical education of providers caring for this complex population.

Rebecca L. Eary, DO, MPH, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at UT Southwestern Medical Center, where she practices as a primary care physician with a specialized focus on cancer survivorship, management of complicated chronic conditions, cancer prevention, and the role of social determinants of health in survivorship outcomes. Board-certified by the American Board of Osteopathic Family Physicians, she holds a Master of Public Health from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Dr. Eary has built a substantial research portfolio in childhood, adolescent, and young adult (CAYA) cancer survivorship, with peer-reviewed publications examining health care utilization gaps among adult survivors of childhood cancers, age-appropriate needs-based survivorship care models, and the development of electronic health record databases to support long-term follow-up for this population. Her work is rooted in a commitment to ensuring that survivors of childhood cancers receive coordinated, continuous, and clinically informed care as they transition into adulthood.

Melissa Erickson, MD, is Medical Director of Cancer Survivorship and Supportive Services at the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center, where she founded and leads the region's first Oncology Primary Care Clinic — a comprehensive program providing specialized primary care for patients with active cancer, a history of cancer, or genetic cancer risk. She also serves as a cancer survivorship clinician at Cincinnati Children's, with a dedicated focus on adult survivors of pediatric and adolescent cancers. Dr. Erickson has been recognized as a Cincinnati Magazine Top Doctor and recipient of the Cancer Family Care Unsung Hero Award, and is leading the development of a national Cancer Survivorship and Oncology Primary Care Fellowship designed to train the next generation of survivorship-focused clinicians. Her work bridges the gap between oncology and primary care for one of medicine's most underserved populations — adult survivors of childhood cancer.
