The frequency of surveillance depends on the child's specific risk factors:
Children with high-risk genetic syndromes may require more frequent monitoring, such as every 3-6 months. Those with a family history of cancer may need annual assessments. Survivors of childhood cancers might follow a tailored surveillance plan based on the type of initial cancer and treatment received.
The surveillance plan should be individualized and adjusted according to the evolving medical guidelines and the child's specific circumstances.
