Section written early 2007: Relapse Questions

Ped-Onc Resource Center

The Pediatric Oncology Resource Center is authored by the ALL-kids list administrator. The Ped-Onc resource center is hosted by ACOR, the same organization that hosts the ALL-kids discussion group. The Ped-Onc web site both provides information on aspects of childhood cancer and links out to other sources of information, from causes of childhood cancer to treatment to advocacy to emotional and psychological issues to financial issues and more. Below are a few links to specific sections:

• expanded section on ALL (classification, molecular characterization, bibliography, treatment, MRD, environmental causes, more)
• ALL clinical trial listing
• family support issues (financial issues, education, kids, teens, make-a-wish, cancer camps, coping helps, airline flights, books and videos, more)
• links to a lot of miscellaneous items for parents and for kids
• treatments and procedures (ports, blood counts, dealing with side effects, bone marrow transplants, more)
• advocacy
• bereavement
