Abstract
Cancer survivorship focuses on efforts to understand and address the health care needs of people diagnosed with cancer beyond the acute diagnosis and treatment phase. To date, work in this area has been concentrated in a limited number of high-income countries and has progressed to identifying and implementing effective models of survivorship care. The situation is likely quite different in low- and middle-income countries where awareness of and ability to address issues affecting cancer survivors may be limited. Four recommendations are offered for advancing cancer survivorship care more equitably across the globe: conduct research to better understand the current state of survivorship care in low-, middle-, and high-income countries; expand the number of national cancer control plans that address cancer survivorship; develop and disseminate resource-stratified guidelines for survivorship care; and form regional partnerships to improve survivorship care similar to those formed to improve palliative care.
