Long-Term Follow-Up Clinic

The Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) 5+ Long-term Follow-up Clinic at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center provides state-of-the-art multidisciplinary care for survivors of childhood cancer.

Who Do We Treat?

Patients who are at least 5 years from their initial diagnosis and two years off therapy are eligible for this clinic. We are happy to see patients who were initially treated at a different hospital and who have relocated to the Cincinnati area. At Cincinnati Children's, we are very fortunate to have a partnership with our adult institution, enabling us to follow our survivor population through adulthood.
