Accessibility of and Barriers to Long-Term Follow-Up Care for Childhood Cancer Survivors
In this mixed-methods study involving clinicians and caregivers, substantial disparities in the uniformity and accessibility of LTFU in China were observed, suggesting the imperative need for a standardized approach to LTFU care for survivors. This includes advocating for establishment of dedicated clinics, alongside an emphasis on enhanced education and training for both clinicians and caregivers.
