Most pediatric cancers grow rapidly, but they also tend to respond very well to chemotherapy, and survival rates are excellent. But cancers in children can also trigger long-term health challenges later in life, making follow-up care and regular monitoring especially important.

With the ever-increasing number of survivors of childhood cancer, we also emphasize long-term survivorship, providing continued surveillance to monitor and proactively address the long-term effects of childhood cancer.
