PanCareLIFE Publications

PanCareLIFE was a 5-year (2013-8) EU Framework 7 Programme in the Health Theme that studied the impact of treatment regimes on the long-term health of childhood cancer survivors. Specifically, PanCareLIFE evaluated the risks of impairments in female fertility, in hearing, and in quality of life. PanCareLIFE also developed two guidelines for fertility preservation, and will disseminate widely the results from this project. Below an overview of publications that were made within the PanCareLIFE project.
