Brain Tumor Survivor Late Effects Clinics

Originally published on November 10, 2009
Most recently updated on April 30, 2013

The following is a list of comprehensive late effects clinics. These clinics follow the Children’s Oncology Group (COG) long-term guidelines for survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult cancer. They address the medical, educational, and quality of life issues faced by brain tumor survivors.

There are two important reasons that you should participate in follow-up at a late effects clinic:

  • these clinics are familiar with potential late effects related to cancer treatment and
  • your involvement will allow them to continue to develop knowledge about the effects of treatment.

Not all of the clinics listed below are seeing brain tumor survivors, but the contact person will be able to guide you to the appropriate department within their hospital. If you are unable to attend a late effects clinic, we recommend you print the COG guidelines specific to your diagnosis and treatment and share them with your healthcare provider. It is vital that you know your treatment history and share this with all of your healthcare providers. Please call CBTF at 866-228-HOPE or email swagner@cbtf.org if you need further survivorship information.
