David B. Perini, Jr. Quality of Life Clinic
Childhood cancer was once universally fatal, but today, the majority of children diagnosed with the disease can expect to be long-term survivors.
Survivorship comes with numerous complex issues: the long-term effects of treatment and the risk of second cancers, as well as social and psychological concerns.
Since 1993, physicians, nurses, researchers, and psychologists in the David B. Perini, Jr. Quality of Life Clinic at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have helped thousands of survivors of pediatric cancers, treated at the Institute and at other hospitals in New England and elsewhere, to manage these long-term consequences.
