Pediatric Survivorship Programs

Today, the majority of children diagnosed with cancer can expect to be long-term survivors. Survivorship comes with numerous complex issues, including long-term effects of treatment and social and psychological concerns.

Two clinics within the Perini Family Survivors' Center at Dana-Farber are designed to specifically help childhood-cancer survivors and pediatric brain-tumor survivors. The clinics offer tailored care and services to help survivors of cancer access clinical, support, and educational resources.
