How the long-term follow-up is organized in young adult survivors of childhood cancer.

Summary: The survival after childhood cancer has improved substantially, therefore the population of childhood cancer survivors is increasing. This growing population of childhood cancer survivors, however, is at risk of a spectrum of adverse health outcomes. Unfortunately, until now, there was a lack of comprehensive follow-up recommendations.The purpuse of this article is to provide information on recently developed harmonized evidence-based guidelines and the structure to provide complex long term follow up for childhood cancer survivors. We pointed out the need for a multidisciplinary pediatric and adult specialist team, who together develop multidisciplinary long-term follow-up clinics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
