Summary: This review aimed to identify factors that influence the translation of shared cancer follow-up care into clinical practice. The study found that reciprocal clinical information sharing between oncologists and general practitioners is crucial, and the responsibility of care should be shared with the overseeing oncologist. General practitioners need to have the necessary skills and knowledge to provide cancer follow-up care. Clinical management guidelines and rapid referral are needed to support general practitioners in providing shared follow-up care. Continuity of care and patient satisfaction are vital for shared care.

Factors influencing cost-effectiveness included sensitivity of low-risk polyps, compliance with colonoscopy, and cost of primary screening.

Summary: The study found that although many practice groups provide supportive care services, fewer than one-half systematically identify and document informal cancer caregivers. Caregiver identification was more common in sites affiliated with a critical access hospital, while assessments were less common in safety-net practices. Additionally, supportive care services were more commonly available in the Western region of the United States, in practices with inpatient services, and in practices affiliated with a critical access hospital.

Summary: Nearly 94% of breast cancer survivors experience symptoms or side effects during or after endocrine therapy, and acupuncture offers a comprehensive solution to address these issues. However, medically underserved breast cancer survivors often lack access to acupuncture. To promote equal access and evidence-based treatment, a randomized controlled trial is being conducted to investigate the effectiveness of acupuncture for symptom management among this population.
