Late effects of cancer treatment team (childhood / young adult treatments)

This team provides care and support for people who:

• have had cancer or any other condition treated by a cancer specialist during childhood or as a young adult;
• have had a non-cancerous illness which required a bone marrow transplant during childhood or as a young adult; and
