Perini Family Survivors' Center
There are more than 10 million cancer survivors' in the United States today, and millions more who have been touched by the disease as family members and friends. Established in 2003, the Perini Family Survivors' Center at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute addresses the long-term physical and emotional needs of cancer survivors and their family members and offers them tools to live as fully as possible. It also conducts research on and shares knowledge about survivorship with others.
The Perini Family Survivors' Center serves as an umbrella organization for three clinics at Dana-Farber and coordinates care, teaching, and research about survivorship.

Clinical Services for Survivors
Follow-up care is an important phase for living a healthy life after cancer treatment. After completing treatment and routine follow-up care, cancer survivors can continue to receive excellent clinical care at one of our three survivor clinics. The David B. Perini, Jr. Quality of Life Clinic has been providing multi-disciplinary care to childhood cancer survivors since 1993; the Stop & Shop Neuro-Oncology Outcomes Clinic has long been a special place for survivors of pediatric brain tumors; the Lance Armstrong Adult Survivorship Clinic opened its doors in 2005, providing a range of clinical options for survivors of adult-onset cancers.
