About the Department

The Follow-up Clinic for Adults after Childhood Cancer is a region-wide unit located within the Cancer Rehabilitation unit, Oncology Department at Sahlgrenska. The clinic focuses on long-term follow-up of late complications in adult patients who were treated for cancer before the age of 18. The team consists of a nurse, a physician, and a counselor who collaborate with other professions as needed. Patient visits are team-based, meaning we meet patients together as a team of nurse, physician, and counselor.

Cancer rehabilitation within the Oncology Department is a central part of patient care throughout the entire period of contact with us. Our goal is to ensure high accessibility and quality regarding counseling support, pain management, nutritional issues, and both acute and long-term side effects of treatment.

We have a significant research and education mandate focused on the healthcare of the future. In our work, we leverage the breadth of knowledge and experience we share – together with you, we want to create value for our patients.
