International Symposium on Late Complications after Childhood Cancer 2022
The first International Symposium on Late Complications after Childhood Cancer 2022 (ISLCCC 2022) was held in July 2022 and PanCareSurPass was there! The symposium featured emerging research results and insights from real world clinical experience to promote research collaborations and improve survivorship care throughout the world. It focused on the exchange of innovative ideas among pediatric and medical oncologists (fellows, residents), scientists, psychologists, radiotherapists, nurse practitioners, oncology nurses, primary care providers, survivors, and other associated allied health professionals who, in the past, have attended from Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, Canada and the United States. Selina van den Oever and Ismay de Beijer presented two posters about implementing the digital Survivorship Passport: 'Barriers and facilitators identified by a PanCareSurPass Online Survey' and 'Barriers and facilitators identified by a PanCareSurPassOpen Space study'.
