GUIDELINES
PanCare is/was involved in the creation of different guidelines. Guidelines make it easier for health care professional and survivors to plan the best possible long-term follow-up care for each person.
The PanCare guidelines were developed within PanCareFollowUp, PanCareSurPass, PanCareLIFE and PanCareSurFup and will be maintained and updated by the PanCare guideline group.
The PanCare guidelines group aims to:
- promote and facilitate the development and update of guidelines for the care of childhood and adolescent cancer survivors across Europe.
- support the implementation of recommendations in these guidelines.
The International Late Effects of Childhood Cancer Guideline Harmonization Group (IGHG) is a worldwide endeavor initiated by several national guideline groups and the Cochrane Childhood Cancer Group in partnership with the PanCare Guidelines Group.
The IGHG aims to:
- establish a common vision and integrated strategy for the surveillance of chronic health problems and subsequent cancers in childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors.
- reduce duplication of effort
- improve quality of life for childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer survivors
