Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Established in 2005, the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) Adult Survivorship Clinic offers support and education for adult patients in the years after their cancer treatment. The LAF Clinic addresses various problems adult survivors may face after therapy, such as infertility, lymphedema, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, future cancer risk and post-traumatic stress.
The LAF Clinic offers cancer survivors the opportunity to meet with a LAF nurse practitioner with expertise in survivorship issues to provide an assessment of their medical needs. The Clinic also offers disease specific clinics.
Specific clinics include:
- Weekly clinic for survivors of gastrointestinal cancers
- Weekly clinic for survivors of sarcomas
- Bi-weekly clinic for survivors of lymphomas
- Monthly clinic for survivors who have had a bone marrow transplant
In addition to disease-specific clinics, the LAF Clinic currently offers a cardiology clinic to address specific cardiac late effects of treatment. The LAF Clinic plans to expand disease specific and other specialty clinics over the next year. |
