6.3 Multidisciplinary team
If there is an indication that a patient’s cancer has returned, care should be provided under the guidance of a treating specialist.
There should be an immediate referral to a leukaemia multidisciplinary team within a CAYA cancer service for all with suspected or confirmed relapse. As with frontline therapy, routine involvement of allied health (e.g. social work, psychology) within the team is required. The team may include new members such as palliative care specialists.
