Young cancer survivors’ expectations of physicians for issues of mental health, interpersonal relationships, and reintegration to society.

208 Background: As patients transition from cancer treatment to survivorship, issues surrounding the social and mental health impacts of survivorship gain increased importance.

We also explored factors associated with these expectations. Methods: We surveyed patients aged 20 to 39 years who were diagnosed with solid tumors, evaluated at any 1 of 5 regional cancer centers in British Columbia, and alive at 2 or more years after their diagnosis.
