Abstract:
KEY POINTS There are increasing international efforts directed toward models of care delivery for survivorship. Models may be based on the care provider, survivor population, care site, service delivery capacity, follow-up care duration, and the survivor’s role in recovery. There are four categories of care: nurse-led survivorship care models, risk-based care plans, rehabilitation-focused care models, and self-management techniques for post-treatment recovery. The burden of cancer is disproportionate across subpopulations, with gender, race, ethnicity, age, income, health insurance, place of residence, and access to health care contributing to cancer disparities. These factors may lead to disparities in survivorship care and influence survivorship experiences. Developing policies and programs to address disparities in survivorship care may include examining how financial hardship affects cancer outcomes, reducing economic barriers to care, and increasing incorporation of patient-centered, integrated strategies into oncology care. There are four main barriers to the provision of survivorship care: lack of evidence, lack of a trained survivorship care workforce, lack of reimbursement structures/insurance coverage for survivorship care services, and lack of a cohesive health care system that would reduce fragmented care.
