Pediatric Brain Tumor Survivorship
The Stop & Shop Family Pediatric Neuro-Oncology
Outcomes Clinic at Dana-Farber/Boston Children's Cancer and Blood
Disorders Center empowers patients and their families after
pediatric brain or spinal cord tumor treatment to lead the healthiest and
most fulfilling lives possible — through clinical care, education, and research.
If your childhood brain or spinal cord treatment is behind
you, we welcome you. We provide care to those who were treated anywhere in the
world for a brain or spinal cord tumor before 21 years of age and who need
tumor surveillance imaging no more often than annually. For those who were
treated between ages 21 through 30 years through our Adolescent
and Young Adult Neuro-Oncology Program, we are available for consultation.
Multidisciplinary Clinic
Our multidisciplinary clinic allows patients access to our pediatric
brain tumor specialists team, which includes neuro-oncologists,
neurologists, psychologists, neuropsychiatrists, dermatologists, school liaisons,
and other health care professionals with survivorship expertise in a combined
clinical setting. Before we see you, our specialists meet to discuss your care
and collaborate on our approach to your health.
Education and Support
Empowering you to lead your healthiest life possible
includes caring for your well-being: working on your physical and mental
health, socializing, developing relationships, reaching goals in education and
employment, and beyond. We will provide you with a wide range of educational
resources and support services designed for you and others like you, through our
medical centers and out in the community.
Research
Our providers participate in research that attempts to
understand how childhood brain and spinal cord tumors, and tumor treatment,
affect survivors’ ability to learn, handle emotions, and move physically as
they develop and grow up, as well as provide treatments to help with these
aspects of life.
You may be eligible to participate in specific research
studies, depending on your diagnosis and treatment. You can ask about such
opportunities when you visit our clinic.
