| UNCERTAINTY: What are the best strategies for detecting and treating second primary cancers early? | |
|---|---|
| Overall ranking | This was one of the 20 questions at the workshop that fell outside of the Top 10. These were not ranked in any order of priority |
| JLA question ID | 0060/26 |
| Explanatory note | ‘Second primary cancer’ is a term used to describe a new cancer that develops in a person who has had cancer in the past. Follow up care has been well described, this, when in place, offers one place for surveillance for new cancers, based on diagnosis and treatment received. Follow up is not the only route, knowledge the young person has about their diagnosis can help them to be 'body aware', there could also be other strategies we do not yet know enough about. |
