Once you have completed treatment for cancer at UCLH you will enter a period of follow-up care. Follow-up is an important way of monitoring your health. It allows us to identify any signs that the cancer may have returned or progressed, and it also supports you in addressing any ongoing side effects of your cancer or its treatment. Follow-up will vary depending on your cancer and the treatment you have received, and will often include a combination of face-to-face or telephone appointments with your doctor or a clinical nurse specialist. You may also need to have some tests, such as CT scans, endoscopies or blood tests, depending on the type of cancer.
