Survivorship Care Information for the Healthcare Team

Home » Clinical Team » Survivorship Care Information for the Healthcare Team
Cancer survivors need ongoing care to stay healthy after treatment. A strong healthcare team—including doctors, nurses, and other providers—plays a key role in supporting long-term recovery. By working together, they can help manage side effects, monitor for cancer recurrence, and improve the patient’s overall well-being. Learn more about the types of care that may be delivered. Here are key areas where the healthcare team can collectively contribute to the patient’s survivorship care. Click the links below each topic for more information.

Understanding Survivorship Care Plans

Survivorship care plans provide a detailed summary of the patient’s cancer treatment and outline follow-up care, potential long-term effects, and health maintenance strategies. Non-oncology specialists should familiarize themselves with these plans to ensure coordinated care.

Monitoring and Managing Long-term Effects

The team should be aware of the potential long-term and late effects of cancer treatments, such as cardiovascular issues, bone health, and cognitive changes. Regular monitoring and appropriate interventions are essential to manage these effects.

Coordination with Oncology Teams

Effective communication and coordination with oncology teams are vital to ensure that all aspects of the survivor’s health are addressed. This includes sharing information about the patient’s ongoing health status and any new symptoms or concerns.

Addressing Psychosocial Needs

The healthcare team should be prepared to address the psychosocial needs of cancer survivors, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Referrals to mental health professionals and support services can be beneficial.

Promoting Healthy Lifestyles

Encouraging cancer survivors to adopt healthy lifestyles is crucial for their long-term well-being. This includes advising on nutrition, physical activity, smoking cessation, and alcohol moderation.
