Some tests are recommended to monitor your long-term health. By screening for problems that may occur, you can quickly identify and treat them.

Most survivors of childhood cancer should have yearly check-ups with their health-care provider or survivor clinic and the following tests/measurements every year:

• complete blood count

• liver function studies

• urinalysis

• measurements of blood pressure

• pulse and respirations

• height and weight

It is essential that all survivors have a Summary of Cancer Treatment form which captures their diagnosis, treatment exposures and recommended long term follow-up. See COG Survivorship Guidelines website in Resources and Click on : Summary of Cancer Treatment (Comprehensive or Summary).

For comprehensive and up-to-date recommendations, refer to Long-Term Follow-Up Guidelines for Survivors of Childhood, Adolescent, and Young Adult Cancers, Version 6.0 (October 2023); http://www.survivorshipguidelines.org/

Recommendations are regularly updated as new information is learned about late effects, so survivors and their health-care providers should check these recommendations periodically.
