Summary: This study aimed to determine the relationship between survivorship care plan (SCP) receipt and the proximal and distal outcomes of cancer survivors. A survey of adult and childhood cancer survivors and parent proxies was conducted, and the results showed that SCP receipt was associated with greater attendance and awareness of cancer-related follow-up care, as well as fewer unmet information needs. SCP receipt also predicted better quality of life and satisfaction with follow-up care.

Summary: This study aims to describe the needs of colon cancer patients and how healthcare providers respond to these needs during routine follow-up consultations in hospital. The findings indicate that patients' questions and concerns mainly revolve around the health system and information domain, and healthcare providers respond to different types of needs in a similar fashion. Overall, patients are satisfied with the information and communication they receive.

Summary: This study investigated the perspective of primary care physicians (PCPs) in Toronto, Canada, regarding the barriers and needs associated with transitioning breast cancer follow-up care to their practices. The results revealed that PCPs require support in the form of follow-up care plans upon discharge, rapid re-referral to specialists, and regular updates of best practice changes. The majority of PCPs supported transitioning to a PCP-led model.

Summary: The study evaluated the attitudes, quality of life (Qol), needs, and preferences of head and neck cancer patients after 3 years of follow-up care. Most patients reported good health but uncertainty about recurrence, with many expressing multiple needs and a desire to continue follow-up. Changes in Qol and attitudes over time were minimal, with more advanced disease and surgery correlating with declining Qol. Women experienced improvements in certain Qol domains, and patient comfort in communicating with oncologists improved over the 3 years.

Summary: This study examined the factors associated with the discontinuation of follow-up care in patients with head and neck cancer. The results showed that approximately one quarter of the patients discontinued important follow-up care within one year. Being unmarried, having depressive symptoms, and receiving a single treatment modality were found to be significant correlates of discontinuation. Further studies are needed to better understand these factors and develop interventions to prevent discontinuation.

Summary: The transition from breast cancer patient to survivor is challenging, with significant physical, psychological, and social challenges. Multidisciplinary evidence-based care in the post-treatment period is crucial. Despite high satisfaction with survivorship care, unmet needs were common, particularly among younger participants, and the use of multidisciplinary care was inconsistent and underutilized.

Summary: Sleep disorders have a negative impact on the physical and psychosocial health of adolescent and young adult childhood cancer patients. Risk factors for having a sleep disorder include being female, young adulthood, and having comorbid health conditions. The use of sleep medication, particularly melatonin, is higher in childhood cancer patients compared to the general population. Screening for sleep disorders after cancer treatment might improve access to treatment and support overall health and quality of life for childhood cancer patients.

Summary: Long-term surgical outcomes of patients who underwent resection for Wilms tumor and neuroblastoma were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with bowel obstruction requiring laparotomy were higher than literature norms, especially in the early postoperative period for Wilms tumor patients and remotely in neuroblastoma patients. Patients who underwent thoracotomy for neuroblastoma have a higher risk of scoliosis and Horner syndrome.
