Cancer Survivorship

Make the Transition from Cancer Care

A cancer diagnosis is life-changing. Even after treatment has ended, it is important you have an active role in making and knowing your care plan. Your oncologist or surgeon can work with you to establish your plan which will outline your unique follow-up, action items, screening or exams. The plan also will ensure seamless transition between your cancer expert and other members of your care team, such as your primary care doctor.
