POGO AfterCare Program

POGO’s Provincial Pediatric Oncology AfterCare Program provides systematic follow-up for childhood cancer survivors – helping survivors stay healthier.

On average, 80% of children with cancer survive, but approximately 60% of survivors are faced with significant late effects as a result of their disease and its treatment. These can include sterility, cardiac complications, neurocognitive impairments, secondary cancers, and more.

POGO AfterCare Clinics promote health and health education, and monitor survivors regularly for long-term effects from cancer treatment, identifying these effects as early as possible. Ultimately, the clinics contribute to advances in cancer care; if a particular form of treatment is found to cause a certain long-term effect in cancer survivors, current treatment practices can be modified to improve long-term outcomes of future survivors.

POGO AfterCare Clinics are located across Ontario in the following locations:

  • Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, Ottawa (613-737-7600 ext. 3102)
  • The Ottawa Hospital Regional Cancer Centre, Ottawa (613-737-7700 ext. 70294)
  • Kingston Health Sciences Centre, Kingston General Hospital Site, Kingston
    (613-549-6666 ext. 6625)
  • Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, Toronto (416-946-4501 ext. 2121)
  • The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto (416-813-8321)
  • McMaster Children’s Hospital, Hamilton Health Sciences, Hamilton (905-521-2100 ext. 73132)

All childhood cancers meet the definition of a #raredisease, with fewer than six cases per 100,000 children each year. However, #Childhoodcancer continues to be the most common cause of disease-related deaths among Ontario children over the age of one. https://bit.ly/3sIiSpd
