The Fresno Truck Center Childhood Cancer Survivorship Program
As childhood cancer survivors grow into adulthood, we are learning more about the potential physical, emotional and other long-term side effects of their cancer treatments. The Fresno Truck Center Childhood Cancer Survivorship Program at Valley Children’s provides pediatric cancer survivors with needed education, support and treatment as they enter adulthood.

Fifty years ago, a fraction of children diagnosed with cancer lived to see their next birthday. Today, kids with cancer have a remarkable 85 percent survival rate. The Fresno Truck Center Childhood Cancer Survivorship Program at Valley Children’s provides pediatric cancer survivors with needed education, support and treatment as they enter adulthood.
