Background
The impact of survivorship care plans (SCPs) on the proximal and distal outcomes of adult and childhood cancer survivors, and parent proxies, is unclear. This study aimed to determine the relationship between SCP receipt and these outcomes.
Methods
A cross‐sectional survey of adult and childhood cancer survivors (and parent proxies for survivors aged younger than 16 years) across Australia...
BACKGROUND
Nearly 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer, and as a result, survivors of skin cancer compose one of the largest groups of cancer survivors. Survivorship care plans (SCPs) are an important tool for improving patient outcomes and provide critical information to both survivors and health care professionals. Recent efforts have been made to expand SCP utilization; however, which patients...
BACKGROUND
The survivorship needs of patients living with chronic cancer (CC) and their use of survivorship care plans (SCPs) have been overlooked and underappreciated.
METHODS
A convenience sample of 39,088 SCPs completed for cancer survivors with an Internet‐based SCP tool was examined; it included 5847 CC survivors (15%; CC was defined as chronic leukemia and/or recurrent/metastatic cancer of...
BACKGROUND
Genetic aberrations are well characterized in lung adenocarcinomas (LACs) and clinical outcomes have been influenced by targeted therapies in the advanced setting. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is the standard‐of‐care therapy for patients with nonoperable, early‐stage LAC, but to the authors' knowledge, no information is available regarding the impact of genomic changes in these...
BACKGROUND
There is significant need for quality follow‐up care to optimize long‐term outcomes for the growing population of lower gastrointestinal (GI) cancer survivors. Patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) provide valuable information regarding late and long‐term effects (LLTEs).
METHODS
A convenience sample from 1129 colon, rectal, and anal cancer survivors (n = 792; 218, and 119, respectively)...
BACKGROUNDSurvivorship care plans (SCP) are currently recommended by the Institute of Medicine, and will soon be required for accreditation by the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer. To the best of the authors' knowledge, the impact of SCPs on cancer survivors has not been previously reported.
METHODSIn 2007, the authors created an Internet tool for the creation of SCPs that provides...
