The Institute of Medicine recommended that all patients receive survivorship care plans (SCPs) post-treatment to improve quality of follow-up care. However, little is known regarding how survivors utilize SCPs and the congruency between providers' and survivors' perspectives. Feedback from colorectal cancer survivors (in receipt of a personalized/individualized SCP) and oncology providers was obtained via interviews. Survivors noted SCPs benefits of reduced duplicative procedures and cancer worry with the synthesized treatment information. Providers noted billing/reimbursement and time investiture (for form completion) as potential barriers. Further investigation of SCPs is warranted regarding utility prior to widespread adoption in follow-up care.

Social determinants of health and health outcomes in older cancer survivors.

Curr Opin Support Palliat Care

January 2025

Department of Medical Social Science, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, Illinois, USA.

Purpose Of The Review: Today, two-thirds of all cancer survivors are at least 65 years old. Older cancer survivors have complex care needs, and addressing their social determinants of health (SDoH) is critical for improving and managing survivorship outcomes for this uniquely vulnerable population, yet research specifically examining these associations remains limited and emergent. To this end, we describe the emergent body of evidence on the associations between SDoH domains and older cancer survivors' outcomes.
