A registry has been established of survivors of childhood cancer treated at the Sidney Farber Cancer Institute, Boston. This resource provides opportunities for studies of physiologic, genetic, psychologic, and social sequelae of childhood neoplasia. Findings indicate potential in most patients for a high quality of extended life. Comprehensive long‐term care may further reduce late morbidity and mortality.
