Jacqueline N. Casillas, MD, is dedicated to a relatively new field of specialized follow-up care for childhood cancer survivors at UCLA’s Life After Cancer Clinic.

Dr. Casillas finds this work especially gratifying in that many childhood cancer survivors report that having dealt with the disease has enabled them to deal more effectively with obstacles in their lives and strengthened their family relationships.

Women diagnosed with breast cancer between 21-45 years old face a unique set of challenges. Those challenges include: age-related survivorship concerns, such as greater psychosocial distress—depression, cognitive changes, sexuality and intimacy, career changes—as well as unique health conditions such as premature menopause and infertility.¬

The Young Breast Cancer Survivorship (YBCS) program offers services tailored to this unique population and their needs.¬¬For more information, click the link below.
