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