Childhood Cancer Survivor Center
Childhood Cancer Survivor Center at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital is dedicated to supporting the lifelong well-being of kids all over Ohio who are survivors. Roughly 13,000 kids are diagnosed with cancer every year. We’re doing very well with some cancers—on average 80% of kids will be survivors. But survivors face many issues as they go through life—some affect their ability to holding jobs, to integrate into society, even to have relationships. Radiation treatment may raise the risk of later breast cancer or fertility. The Center is a place survivors and their families can come for help coping with these into the future. We conduct both clinical and basic research to address these issues. We give counseling and neuropsychological testing to help kids prepare for school or work. A multidisciplinary team—medical specialists, nutritionists, physical therapists, etc.—offers long-term follow-up, help with physical preparedness, and advocacy for survivors.
