Abstract

The population of cancer survivors is on the rise due to an increase in cancer incidence and a decline in cancer mortality. This growing survivor population creates a number of challenges. Although there have been improvements in care planning for cancer survivors, our healthcare system still lacks the delivery of coordinated care between primary care physicians and specialists. Understanding the needs of cancer survivors can help improve the current care models. In this review we describe existing survivorship care models. We also describe emerging models using some programs at the Cleveland Clinic to highlight various potential approaches.
