Release of Children’s Oncology Group (COG) Long-Term Follow-Up (LTFU) Guidelines, Version 5.0

Version 5.0 of the COG LTFU Guidelines has just been released.  Since 2003, the COG LTFU Guidelines have been integral to directing the long-term follow-up care provided by COG institutions for survivors of childhood, adolescent, and young adults cancers.

There are significant changes to Version 5.0 of these guidelines, including simplification of the design and format, re-definition of the radiation fields, and elimination of most radiation dose cut-offs.  Details of the revisions are summarised in the guideline front-matter (see “New to Version 5.0”).

The updated guidelines are now available at www.survivorshipguidelines.org.
