Children’s Minnesota Cancer Survivor Program
Nearly 90 percent of children with cancer will survive into adulthood. However, 60 percent of the children, adolescents and young adults who have been cured of cancer may be affected for months or years by their disease or the treatment they received. Children’s Minnesota Cancer Survivor Program monitors cancer survivors for late effects of cancer and treatment, addresses any problems that may occur and provides recommendations for future screening and follow-up to manage health risks. This information can then be shared with their primary care or other providers.
Our goal is to keep survivors of cancer healthy and to educate them about their health risks.
Any survivor of childhood cancer, regardless of age or where they were treated during childhood, is encouraged to visit annually.
