Abstract
Survivorship care is an essential component of high-quality cancer care due to rising cancer incidence, survival and the recognition of unique health challenges cancer survivors face. Primary care practitioners (PCP) have played pivotal roles in cancer survivorship in the community in first world settings, and current evidence suggest that PCPs can provide more cost-effective and equally safe surveillance care to cancer survivors with no difference in recurrence rates, time to detection of recurrence, mortality and health-related quality of life, compared to specialists. High quality survivorship care is best delivered using a collaborative approach between tertiary based specialists and community-based PCPs.
