[What follow-up after pediatric cancer ? The SALTO consultation experience].

During the past 50 years, the mortality due to childhood cancers decreased dramatically thanks to improvements in supportive care and the use of multimodal approaches. In this context, the long-term follow up after childhood cancer has become a main concern for pediatric oncologists. The SALTO programme was developed in 2012 at the CHR Citadelle in Liège in order to organize a multidisciplinary long-term follow-up for the patients previously treated in our department for a childhood cancer. The aim of the present study was to review, for the most frequent childhood cancers, the long-term sequellae and the second cancers developed by the patients participating to the SALTO programme in order to define the follow-up needed. Our data confirm the importance of a multidisciplinary long-term follow-up, based on the treatments received and following international guidelines.
