Description Long term survivors of childhood cancer: Cure and care The Erice statement. The number of subjects that have successfully completed treatment for a cancer diagnosed during childhood is increasing over time and entering adulthood. Members of the International Berlin-Frankfurt-Munster (I-BFM) Early and Late Toxicity Educational Committee (ELTEC) invited 45 pediatric cancer experts (representing oncologists, psychologists, nurses, epidemiologists, parents, and survivors) from 13 European countries (with five additional experts from North America) to Erice, Sicily (from October 27 to 29, 2006) to discuss the circumstances in which the word cure should be used when speaking about children with cancer, and when and why continuing follow-up and care may be required. The objective of the gathering was to generate from the personal and professional experience of the participants an overview statement of the group s philosophy of cure and care of survivors of childhood cancer. The ten points reflect what the group considers essential in the survivors cure and care. By publishing this text, representatives of the Paediatric Oncology Section of the Czech Oncological Society join into and endorse the ERICE statement.
