[Correspondence] Health-care delivery for long-term survivors of childhood cancer

In their Article in The Lancet (Dec 9, p 2569),1 Bhakta and colleagues provide compelling data and novel statistical analysis to quantify the overwhelming lifetime cumulative burden of chronic health conditions caused by curative paediatric cancer therapies. As a 27-year survivor of Hodgkin's lymphoma, I applaud the authors' suggestion that it might be time to rethink the methods by which we provide care for long-term childhood cancer survivors. As a patient, I have had numerous encounters over the past three decades that have left me frustrated by the scarcity of easy access to coordinated comprehensive care for survivors.
