We’re excited to announce the latest updates of the PanCareFollowUp Recommendations for long-term follow-up care and PanCareSurPass Recommendations for short-term follow-up care of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors!
These revisions reflect the newest IGHG guidelines, addressing:
- Pulmonary complications
- Reduced bone mineral density
- Updated cardiomyopathy recommendations
Plus, refinements based on expert clinical insights ensure to even better guidance for healthcare professionals and survivors.
The changes are described in the PDF of the new PanCareFollowUp recommendations for long-term follow-up care (2024) and the PDF of the new PanCareSurPass recommendations for short-term follow-up care (2024) and in the upcoming amendments to the European Journal of Cancer and Journal of Cancer Survivorship in which the guidelines have been published.
The PanCare PLAIN summaries for survivors have also been updated to reflect these changes!
The PanCareFollowUp Recommendations for long-term follow-up care were originally developed within the EU-funded PanCareFollowUp project in 2020 as described in European PanCareFollowUp Recommendations for surveillance of late effects of childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer by van Kalsbeek et al.(https://www.ejcancer.com/article/S0959-8049(21)00368-3/fulltext).
The PanCareSurPass Recommendations for short-term follow-up care were originally developed within the EU-funded PanCareSurPass project in 2023 as described in European recommendations for short term surveillance of health problems in childhood, adolescent and young adult cancer survivors from the end of treatment to 5 years after diagnosis: a PanCare guideline by de Beijer et al. (https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11764-023-01493-z).
The PanCare PLAIN language summaries were developed within the EU-funded projects PanCareFollowUp and EU-CAYAS-NET as described in From long-term follow-up Recommendations for clinical practice to plain language summaries for childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors by van den Oever (2024) et al. (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772610X24000242). They reflect the content of the PanCareFollowUp Recommendations for long-term follow-up care.
