A late-effects assessment can be created by a survivor or survivor's caregiver as a tool to learn about potential medical and educational late effects specific to your diagnosis and treatment.

The information for the late effects assessment was completed in collaboration with Robert Hayashi, M.D., Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Division of Hematology/Oncology, Washington University School of Medicine, and Director of Hematology/Oncology at St. Louis Children's Hospital; and Daniel Armstrong, Ph.D., Professor of Pediatrics and Director of the Mailman Center for Child Development, in Miami, Fla.

The more information you provide, the more accurate your late-effects assessment will be. In order to develop an assessment, you must know your diagnosis. When you enter your diagnosis, the assessment will list all drugs currently part of the treatment protocol. If you know your radiation type, but do not know your radiation dosage, the late-effects assessment will list late effects for all dosages. If you were treated more than 20 years ago and a drug is not listed, you will need to speak directly to your doctor about potential late effects.
