Abstract

The growing number of breast cancer survivors challenges healthcare organizations, particularly oncology specialty and primary care providers. Currently, in France, the follow-up care is based on detection of recurrences, of second primary contralateral breast cancer, of long-term treatment sequelae, in addition to psychosocial consequences of cancer and its treatment. This review will discuss the evidence base and intents of breast cancer survivorship care plans (CSCPs) as a wellness model for cancer survivors in clinical setting, mainly providing health promotion recommendations such as regular exercise. The CPCPs involve multidisciplinary approach and patient–physician communication. Therefore, this comprehensive care will improve their quality of life, treatment compliance, and general health care maintenance. This article offers innovative guidance to implement the post-cancer patient care and includes the relevant templates to be submitted to the patients.
