Long-term-follow-up (LTFU): Late effects of treatment for cancer or a blood condition

The long-term follow-up service is for people who had treatment for cancer or a blood condition as a child or young adult. It offers ongoing and regular check-ups to monitor any health concerns that may have been caused by your treatment.  

The aim of these appointments is to help you to manage the late-effects of your treatment for cancer or a blood condition. There’s more information about these appointments in our Long-term follow-up leaflet. 

If you’re transferring from children to adult services, you will have an appointment in the transition clinic. There’s more information about this in our Nurse-led transition clinic leaflet.

Our team includes oncologists (cancer doctors), haematologists (doctors who specialise in blood conditions) and clinical nurse specialists (CNSs). They have experience in treating the long-term effects of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery. Your follow-up appointments will be with a CNS or a consultant. Sometimes we may refer you to other specialists at UCLH.
