Living Beyond Cancer: Late effects and Survivorship Care Online Course

About the Course

“Cure is not enough” – in 1975 Giulio J. D’Angio had the vision of childhood and adolescent cancer survivors and their long-term follow-up care.

With around 80 % survival of childhood and adolescent cancer, around 500,000 survivors live in Europe today and the number is increasing. At least two-thirds experience long-term health-related challenges.

• What are the late physical and psychosocial effects?
• What are their risks and contributing factors?
• When and how to talk about them?

These are the questions we will address together during the meeting by implementing different perspectives from an inter- and multidisciplinary team of late effects specialists and patient advocates across Europe.
