Physician needs and preferences for information about long-term follow-up and care of survivors of childhood cancer.

66 Background: The treatments that childhood cancer survivors (CCS) undergo can lead to an increased risk of other health problems later in life, and risk-based follow-up care is necessary throughout their lifetime. Regrettably, family physicians caring for CCS often report having no record of their patients’ past disease, treatment history, or need for follow-up. As the large majority of CCS will transition from specialized pediatric oncology care to generalized adult care in the community, detailed treatment summaries and Survivorship Care Plans (SCP) are needed to ensure that both the survivor and their care providers are adequately informed of the survivors diagnosis, treatment(s), potential risk for late effects, and long-term surveillance and healthcare needs. This qualitative study sought to explore the needs, preferences, and the perceived utility of SCP for family physicians (FP) caring for CCS. Methods: Using publically available Children’s Oncology Group guidelines, a de-identified sample SCP i...
