The 2006 Institute of Medicine (IOM) consensus study report From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor: Lost in Transition made recommendations to improve the quality of care that cancer survivors receive, in recognition that cancer survivors are at risk for significant physical, psychosocial, and financial repercussions from cancer and its treatment. Since then, efforts to recognize and address the unique needs of cancer survivors have increased, including an emphasis on improving the evidence base for cancer survivorship care and identifying best practices in the delivery of high-quality cancer survivorship care. To examine progress in cancer survivorship care since the Lost in Transition report, the National Cancer Policy Forum of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop in July 2017, in Washington, DC. Workshop participants highlighted potential opportunities to improve the planning, management, and delivery of cancer survivorship care. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Maintaining quality and improving cancer care does not occur in a vacuum. It requires a coordinated effort among many team members to whom this book is directed. Cancer care in the United States is in crisis as per a recent National Institute of Health publication. Much of this has to do with the complexity of the cancer care, its delivery systems, the aging population and the diminishing workforce. We need to be smarter and more efficient to de-escalate this crisis and improve the survival and survivorship of our cancer patients. Improved survivorship of families and caregivers will be included as well. The book will follow the continuum of cancer care model as its outline vide infra. It will provide many concrete instances of successful practices and programs which improve survivorship. Initially it will discuss the current crisis on a global and then national platform. There will be a discussion about disability adjusted life years lost, lost productivity, loss of life and its impact upon the nation and communities. The financial impact of cancer on society and government will be included in this. Population health management as regards cancer will then look at communities served, community health needs assessments and social determinants of health. How prevention and screening programs can be formulated from the above will be illustrated. Compliance with treatments as promulgated by the Commission on Cancer’s Cancer Program Practice Performance Reports (CP3R) will be reviewed. The relationship between compliance and improved survival will be highlighted. Navigation and distress management to assure patients complete planned treatments will be included in this section. Quality of survivorship will review the four domains of life- spiritual, social, psychological and physical. How these can be maximized through system improvement and program development will be illustrated. Financial issues and legal protections will also be included in this section. Survivorship care planning i.e. surveillance for recurrent cancer, prevention of related and new cancers will be an integral part of this section. Palliative, end of life care and bereavement care will complete the continuum cycle. Identifying hospitalized patients in need of palliative needs will be refreshed. How to establish an in-patient palliative care team and creating a seamless transition from in-patient to out-patient palliative care will be presented. Intended AudienceAdministrative and clinical staff involved in the delivery of cancer care including: hospital executives, physicians, nurses, radiation therapists, psychology counselors, social workers, physical therapists, occupation therapists, nutritionists, government, healthcare insurance representatives, etc.

With the risk of more than one in three getting cancer during a lifetime, each of us is likely to experience cancer, or know someone who has survived cancer. Although some cancer survivors recover with a renewed sense of life and purpose, what has often been ignored is the toll taken by cancer and its treatmentâ€"on health, functioning, sense of security, and well-being. Long lasting effects of treatment may be apparent shortly after its completion or arise years later. The transition from active treatment to post-treatment care is critical to long-term health. From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor focuses on survivors of adult cancer during the phase of care that follows primary treatment. The book raises awareness of the medical, functional, and psychosocial consequences of cancer and its treatment. It defines quality health care for cancer survivors and identifies strategies to achieve it. The book also recommends improvements in the quality of life of cancer survivors through policies that ensure their access to psychosocial services, fair employment practices, and health insurance. This book will be of particular interest to cancer patients and their advocates, health care providers and their leadership, health insurers, employers, research sponsors, and the public and their elected representatives.

As of January 2012, the United States had nearly 14 million cancer survivors, with 59 percent ages 65 years or older. The number of survivors is projected to grow to 18 million by 2022. Survivors (that is, patients who have completed active treatment) have unique physical, psychological, social, and spiritual health needs. Even as the oncology workforce is projected to experience substantial shortages, the number and needs of cancer survivors is projected to increase. Relative to pediatric cancer survivors, adult survivors (i.e., survivors of adult-onset cancers) are understudied. Further, their health care needs differ from those of pediatric survivors-adult survivors may have an increased risk for comorbidities, presenting unique care coordination challenges. Consequently, this Technical Brief seeks to increase knowledge regarding survivorship care models for adult cancer survivors (19 years of age or older). Cancer survivors have unique post-treatment needs, as these individuals may have higher risks of recurrence and secondary cancers; chronic or late-occurring effects of cancer or cancer treatment; comorbid conditions that may have been exacerbated by cancer treatment; and increased likelihood of preventable morbidity and mortality that can be reduced by health promotion activities. These unique needs highlight the importance of care programs specifically tailored for cancer survivors. As described in the Institute of Medicine (IOM) report "From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor: Lost in Transition," survivorship care (i.e., the delivery of health care services specifically designed for cancer survivors) ideally includes (1) prevention of new (primary) and recurrent cancers and other late effects; (2) surveillance for recurrence or new cancers; (3) interventions for illnesses secondary to cancer and cancer treatment (including physical consequences of symptoms such as pain and fatigue, psychological distress experienced by cancer survivors and their caregivers, and concerns related to employment, insurance, and disability); and (4) coordination between specialists and primary care providers (PCPs) to ensure that all the health needs of survivors are met. Although these IOM recommendations form an important framework for examining cancer survivorship care, they are largely based on expert consensus. Developing appropriate health care programs that provide needed supports and enhance relevant outcomes for individuals with cancer following completion of acute (i.e., potentially curative) cancer treatment can be difficult. An initial challenge for this project was to define a "model" of cancer survivorship care. The term "model" is frequently used in the cancer survivorship literature but is rarely (if ever) defined. Research shows general agreement that a model of survivorship care involves a broad and holistic approach to followup care for cancer survivors, addressing multiple needs. As discussed by Gilbert et al., although approaches vary, all models are directed toward the common goal of improving the quality of care provided to cancer survivors by delivering comprehensive, coordinated, and tailored followup care. Survivorship has various definitions and encompasses varying stages of the cancer survivor's experience; this report focuses only on individuals who have completed active cancer treatment and are transitioning from acute to more long-term medical care objectives.

This book provides the necessary information about not only the clinical aspects of caring for cancer survivors, but also the psychosocial impacts. There are multiple resources available to serve as oncology textbooks, but nothing to provide the necessary information on patient care for the non-MD members of the cancer patient management team. In the post-treatment phase, the management team must go beyond the realm of "conventional" follow-up, helping the patient to intellectually understand and emotionally grasp the path ahead. Cancer Survivorship will prove a vital tool to physicians, nurses, clinical social workers and mental health professionals.
