Addressing the needs of childhood cancer survivors<\/a><\/h3>\n

Most children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer will survive. This means the number of childhood cancer survivors in Canada and around the world is growing. Unfortunately, many of the treatments we use to cure cancer can lead to long-term physical and mental health problems known as \u201clate effects\u201d. Childhood cancer survivors need lifelong follow-up care that is focused on their risks for late effects. This follow-up care will allow survivors to stay healthy and have the best quality of life possible. Our research team is focused on understanding these long-term risks and finding ways to make sure that all survivors receive the health care and other supports that they need.

Addressing the needs of adolescents and young adults with cancer<\/a><\/h3>\n

Adolescents and young adults (AYA; aged 15-39 years) are a particularly vulnerable group of cancer patients \u2013 their cancer outcomes have not improved as much as younger children and older adults. Our research program also uses Ontario\u2019s health administrative databases and cancer registries to study outcomes in AYA with cancer from diagnosis through treatment to survivorship.<\/p>\n
