Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) have high prevalence of obesity vitamin D (VD) deficiency together with dyslipidemia. We aimed to evaluate lipid profile and the effect of VD supplementation in CCS. VD deficiency was more frequent among obese CCS and their lipid profiles, TC, and LDL-C levels were significantly higher compared to non-obese patients. After VD supplementation trials, VD levels incre...... hiện toàn bộ
