Pediatric Hematology, Oncology, and Cellular Therapy Survivorship Program

If you or your child has completed treatment for a cancer or blood disorder, congratulations on closing an extremely difficult chapter in your life. The Survivorship Program team at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health is excited to embark with you and your family on a new chapter. As you likely heard during treatment, cancers and blood disorders can affect someone’s physical and mental health long after treatment is over, often referred to as late effects of cancer and blood disorders.

That’s why we created a unique clinic for people who have received treatment for cancer and blood disorders. You will begin seeing the Survivorship Program team starting two years after completing treatment, while you are still following up with your primary oncology team. We will continue to see you in the Survivorship Program even after you no longer need oncology follow-up. Lifelong follow-up is recommended for people who were treated for cancer or blood disorders during childhood, and we are happy to see anyone up to 39 years old. Appointments are generally scheduled once per year, but some people may have follow-up at shorter or longer intervals, depending on their treatment history and unique needs.

The Survivorship team includes a pediatric oncologist, a nurse practitioner, and a nurse coordinator with extensive knowledge about pediatric cancers, as well as screening and prevention of the long-term medical and psychosocial effects of treatment. The Survivorship team reviews potential late effects of treatment with you and your family, recommends screening tests and/or interventions that may be needed, and provides health counseling and education with an emphasis on how to stay healthy after undergoing treatment for childhood cancer or a blood disorder.
