Childhood Cancer Survivors
Follow-up programs
Throughout this book we discuss the importance of comprehensive follow-up care for survivors of childhood cancer. One way to obtain state-of-the-art care is to see a specialist in late effects at a clinic for survivors. To find a survivors’ clinic near you, visit www.ped-onc.org/treatment/surclinics.html .
The Children’s Oncology Group’s recommendations for screening and management of late effects of treatment for childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancers are available online at www.survivorshipguidelines.org .
