This volume presents the MD Anderson experience in providing care
and services to the rapidly growing number of cancer survivors who
now number an estimated 12 million in the United States and more
than 25 million worldwide. With increased rates of cancer survival
has slowly come the recognition that the challenges faced by people
with cancer do not end with treatment but change. The book aims to
assist community oncologists, physicians, and their staffs, who
care for the vast majority of the growing number of cancer
survivors, by disseminating models for surveillance for disease
recurrence, screening for second primary cancers, education
regarding potential late effects of treatment, and access to
psychosocial counseling that have proven valuable to cancer
survivors who receive care at The MD Anderson Cancer Center.
Handbook of Cancer Survivorship Care serves as a practical and
concise guide for the multidisciplinary management of cancer
survivors. Each chapter is authored by a team consisting of a
seasoned oncologist and an experienced practitioner who provides
direct services in survivorship care. Chapters reflect the
importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and cover the
high-yield pearls and clinical applications that lead to quality
patient care outcomes. Part One discusses the basic concepts of
survivorship care, models of care, and clinical tools while
addressing late and long-term effects of treatment, screening
methods for secondary or recurring tumors, and prevention of
disease relapse. Part Two includes chapters on cancers commonly
seen in community practices, such as breast, prostate, lymphoma,
colorectal and many more. Each chapter in Part Two provides
clinical pearls and disease-specific background, a guide to disease
surveillance, instructions for monitoring late effects, early
detection tips, and information on psychosocial health, all to
better direct clinical assessment and management. With cancer
survivors an increasing segment of the healthcare population and
survivorship care rapidly evolving, it is paramount that
oncologists and other care providers are up-to-date on the clinical
strategies, interventions, and recommendations for follow up care.
