How to use this resource
This is a resource for healthcare professionals who provide ongoing care to survivors of pediatric malignancies. Healthcare professionals who do not regularly care for survivors of pediatric malignancies are encouraged to consult with a pediatric oncology long-term follow-up center if questions or concerns arise when reviewing or using these guidelines. Survivors who choose to review these guidelines should do this with the assistance of a healthcare professional knowledgeable about long-term follow-up care for survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancers. The screening recommendations in these guidelines are appropriate for asymptomatic survivors of childhood, adolescent, or young adult cancer presenting for routine exposure-based medical follow-up. For survivors presenting with signs and symptoms suggesting illness or organ dysfunction, more extensive evaluations are needed, as clinically indicated.
