Cancer in young people is rare, but it is still a major health issue in Europe. Each year, more than 6,000 young people in Europe die of cancer. There are more than 300,000 European childhood cancer survivors (in 2020, they will be nearly half a million): two-thirds of them have some late side effects of treatment, that are severe and impact on the daily life of half of those affected.
The international FORUM study led by Prof. Christina Peters was so successful that the journal Frontiers in Pediatrics made a special kind of request: The experts in this field were invited to bring out an entire Research Topic on acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in children.
The result: 24 scientific articles by 105 authors addressing better-tolerable treatments with allogeneic stem cell transplantation and modern options for a cure without stem cell transplantation.

The Dutch Childhood Cancer Survivor Study LATER cohort (1963-2001) focuses on long-term health outcomes in childhood cancer survivors. It comprises 5-year survivors diagnosed before age 18 in seven pediatric oncology centers in the Netherlands. Data on diagnosis, treatment, and health outcomes were collected via questionnaires and medical registries. The cohort includes 6165 survivors with extensive data. The study aims to uncover risks and risk factors for adverse health outcomes, aiding risk stratification, surveillance guidelines, and intervention development. The data gathered will serve as a crucial foundation for future follow-up studies, providing valuable insights into the impact of childhood cancer on survivors’ health in the long term.
