Young adult survivors of childhood cancer may have a perception gap with their families. Patients aged 18-39 years after treatment of cancer and their families (28 pairs) completed a survey that contained questions on health-related quality of life using the 36-item short form survey. There was a significant difference in the role-social component score (mean difference -2.23; = 0.04) with family reporting higher scores than patients. Families may overestimate the social function of cancer survivors, emphasizing the importance of the long-term follow-up by taking into account the risk of a gap (IRB approval No.: R2257-1).
