Despite the fact that the number of cancer survivors continues to grow in the U.S., gaps remain in addressing the unique follow-up and long-term care needs for this group. Supporting Cancer Survivors Through Comprehensive Cancer Control Programs is a new report from the GW Cancer Center that presents a national snapshot of cancer survivorship in the U.S., including what we know about the health status, needs and disparities among survivors. We also highlight some systems-level approaches to addressing needs for post-treatment cancer survivors. Download the report today!

Clinicians Seeking Participants for New Network for Primary Care Providers
There is a small, but growing group of primary care physicians and advanced level practitioners that are actively seeking to provide primary care for cancer survivors. The inaugural 2016 Cancer Survivorship Symposium was held this past January in San Francisco. Supported by the American Academy of Family Physicians and American Society of Clinical Oncology, the annual platform aims to disseminate evidence-based guidelines, information and research to help provide primary care to cancer survivors. Developing a network of providers that want to provide primary care to cancer survivors can help patients, specialists and primary care providers connect and share information more easily. To join the network, please contact Jay Burton, DO or Larissa Nekhyludov, MD, MPH.
