Abstract

Introduction: While the number of cancer survivors is projected to increase to 18 million by 2022, validated approaches for the care of cancer survivors are limited. There is a need for patientcentered cancer survivorship care with improved communication, care continuity, and coordination. In order to achieve this, patients and their support network should be included as members of the healthcare team.
