Guidelines
Topics
The guidelines (evidence and recommendations) for the long-term follow-up of childhood, adolescent and young adult cancer survivors for the specific late effects can be found in the left menu.
For every topic the underlying evidence and recommendations are presented.
The recommendations are categorized using a 4-color grading system:
- Green represents a strong recommendation.
- Yellow and orange represent moderate recommendations with a higher degree of uncertainty, meaning that other factors, such as the clinical scenario, family history, patient preferences, costs and relevant risk factors need to be considered in the decision-making process.
- Red is used to recommend against a particular intervention, with harms outweighing the benefits.
