If today the cure rate for children with cancer in Switzerland is over 85%, the question arises as to the longer-term health of those affected. What has become of the children who were cured 10, 20 or 30 years ago? Do today’s treatments take more account of the likely side effects?

This and other questions are explored in the programme 36.9° on French-language Swiss television.

Prof. Dr. Marc Ansari and Dr. Fabienne Gumy Pause from the Geneva University Hospital (HUG) and Prof. Dr. Maja Beck-Popovic from the CHUV in Lausanne, all active members of the SPOG network, give detailed information about their daily routine with young patients and the late effects of therapies in childhood and adolescence in this exciting contribution.
