Increased childhood cancer survival rates have spurred a new body of research pertaining to the cancer-survivorship continuum. Literature suggests a lack of research and guidelines for care at the end of treatment. To improve the transition to survivorship and determine any posttreatment challenges, this study explored the experiences of childhood cancer survivors (CCSs), parents/caregivers, and pediatric oncology health care professionals (HCPs) at the end of treatment.

We Are Done! Now What? Exploring End of Treatment Needs of Childhood Cancer Survivors and Their Parents
This study employed a mixed methods design. End of Treatment Questionnaires were completed by survivors of childhood cancer and parents/caregivers within 6 months of completing treatment, and by pediatric oncology health care professionals.
