Data Resource Profile: The Life and health After Childhood cancEr (LACE) project
This new comprehensive national data linkage resource represents a valuable asset that will facilitate research to identify the risk of late effects and effective follow-up care to inform counselling patients and their families, as well as guidelines, models of care and personalised follow-up care plans. Further, it will enable identification of inequities in healthcare access and outcomes across population sub-groups.
