Evaluating Cancer Survivorship Care Models

Completed

Conditions studied: Quality of Life, Cancer

In brief

The Evaluating Cancer Survivorship Care Models project is an innovative 3-year study that is collecting data to help understand how to best deliver follow-up care to cancer survivors. Cancer is a complex disease requiring complex treatments that can cause lasting impacts after treatment ends. Some patients face physical, psychosocial, spiritual and/or practical challenges as they adjust to life after cancer. Fortunately, health care providers have begun to focus on the consequences of cancer and its treatment and are more actively working with cancer survivors to manage post-treatment needs and care. Led by the George Washington University and funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, this project brings together representatives from the Commission on Cancer, the Cancer Support Community, LIVESTRONG and the American Cancer Society as well as cancer survivors and healthcare professionals to better understand how different strategies or models of care impact outcomes that are most important to cancer survivors. The project will focus on survivors of breast, prostate and colorectal cancers and will be relevant for understanding the needs and preferences of survivors of other cancers as well. The emphasis is on patient-centered outcomes, which are outcomes that are most significant to patients, such as patient satisfaction and quality of life.
