clinical guidelines for survivorship care

Clinical guidelines for survivorship care guide healthcare providers in supporting people who have completed cancer treatment. They emphasize regular follow-up to monitor for late effects of treatment, manage ongoing health problems, and detect any cancer recurrence early. Survivorship care also includes promoting healthy lifestyles, addressing emotional and mental well-being, and providing preventive screenings. The goal is to improve quality of life and long-term health outcomes by personalized planning based on the survivor’s specific cancer type, treatment received, and overall health. These guidelines ensure comprehensive, coordinated care that addresses both medical and supportive needs throughout survivorship.
