[All childhood cancer survivors get at least one visit at follow-up clinics for adults].

Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at increased risk of developing several late complications, often in adulthood. It is therefore essential that accurate information is provided to both the CCS and healthcare providers when transitioning to adult healthcare. Since the first publication of the Swedish national guidelines for long-term follow-up in 2016, long-term follow-up clinics for adult CCS have been established at all six university hospitals, offering at least one visit at the age of twenty-five. Dedicated transition clinics at paediatric cancer centres offer two to three visits during adolescence in preparation for the transition, including an individual dialogue between the young person and the paediatric oncologist or nurse. Further developments are ongoing, including the introduction of specialised transition nurses and a more structured element into the visits.

Abstract

Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are at increased risk of developing several late complications, often in adulthood. It is therefore essential that accurate information is provided to both the CCS and healthcare providers when transitioning to adult healthcare. Since the first publication of the Swedish national guidelines for long-term follow-up in 2016, long-term follow-up clinics for adult CCS have been established at all six university hospitals, offering at least one visit at the age of twenty-five. Dedicated transition clinics at paediatric cancer centres offer two to three visits during adolescence in preparation for the transition, including an individual dialogue between the young person and the paediatric oncologist or nurse. Further developments are ongoing, including the introduction of specialised transition nurses and a more structured element into the visits.
