Article Synopsis
- A new lung cancer survivorship clinic workflow was created to specifically address the needs of early-stage lung cancer survivors (LCS) using electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) to collect data on their experiences and care.
- From January 2020 to March 2023, 315 early-stage LCS completed orientation visits, showing high satisfaction rates, although ePRO completion varied significantly by gender and demographics.
- The study found LCS reported lower symptom burdens compared to the general population, but a significant number had moderate to severe symptoms, indicating a need for better outreach and supportive care referrals, particularly for female patients.
Purpose: Healthy cancer survivorship involves patients' active engagement with preventative health behaviors and follow-up care. While clinicians and patients have typically held dual responsibility for activating these behaviors, transitioning some clinician effort to technology and health coaches may enhance guideline implementation. This paper reports on the acceptability of the Shared Healthcare Actions & Reflections Electronic systems in survivorship (SHARE-S) program, an entirely virtual multicomponent intervention incorporating e-referrals, remotely-delivered health coaching, and automated text messages to enhance patient self-management and promote healthy survivorship.

We designed the Shared Healthcare Actions & Reflections Electronic Systems in survivorship (SHARE-S) program to enhance survivorship guideline implementation by transitioning some effort from clinicians to technology and patients through supporting health self-management (e.g.

Multidisciplinary collaboration between radiologists and radiation oncologists (ROs) may optimize RT planning, reduce uncertainty in follow-up imaging interpretation, and improve outcomes.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective clinical treatment trial (clinicaltrials.
Article Synopsis
- Colorectal cancer patients often survive for over 5 years, prompting the need for effective care plans that help manage symptoms and promote healthy behaviors as they transition to survivorship; however, providers struggle to implement these plans effectively.
- The development of a new electronic tool (COMPASS-CP CFC) aimed at improving follow-up care for colorectal cancer survivors involved gathering feedback from both healthcare professionals and patients, adapting existing care planning technology, and enhancing usability.
- The project followed a systematic approach (IDEAS framework) across three phases to ensure that the tool meets user needs and was measured for usability, acceptability, appropriateness, and feasibility within clinical practices.
