Long Term Follow-Up Program

A major goal of the program is to help pediatric cancer survivors become educated health care consumers and find quality primary care in their communities.

The University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Center's Long Term Follow-Up program was created in 1999 to meet the needs of adolescents and young adults who were diagnosed with a malignancy in childhood or adolescence, and have been out of treatment for at least five years. The clinic focuses on the patient's whole life situation not only on their cancer. Survivorship issues are addressed, including feelings of isolation from one's peer group, neurocognitive p roblems, and growth and fertility concerns.
