Patient Eligibility / Ages Treated
The clinic limits services to patients treated at St. Jude. Patients treated at other centers who move to the Memphis area are also eligible for services. St. Jude patients are eligible for transfer into the ACT Clinic when they are 5 years from diagnosis and in remission for at least 2 years after completion of therapy. Patients are seen annually by the ACT Clinic staff until they are 10 years from diagnosis and at least 18 years of age. Most adult survivors at the 10 year time point are discharged as alumnus of the clinic and monitored annually through a mail questionnaire distributed by the St. Jude Cancer Registry.

Research
Some St. Jude alumni may be invited back for clinic evaluations related to specific research investigations.
