Summary: This study compared experiences of care among cancer survivors receiving shared care, oncologist-led, PCP-led, or other care patterns, and found that survivors aged 65 and older receiving shared care reported similar experiences of care to those receiving oncologist-led, PCP-led, and other patterns of care.

Summary: The study found that while most survivors found SCP useful, they did not share them with other healthcare providers, raising questions about their effectiveness in coordinating care. Additionally, there were challenges with SCP delivery. Survivors reported compliance with SCP lifestyle recommendations. Further research is needed to assess the utility of SCP among other stakeholders such as general practitioners.

Summary: The majority of websites lack patient-oriented information about oncofertility and fertility preservation, with most not addressing risks and benefits of FP, moral and ethical considerations, or details about success rates or costs. Female patients are more likely to find information compared to male patients. The readability score of the websites correlated with a 12th grade reading level.

Summary: The study reveals that many primary care physicians lack confidence in providing survivorship care, which may be due to inadequate training, poor communication with oncologists, and underutilization of survivorship care plans.

Summary: As of 2022, nearly 90 million people in the United States, 243 million people in Europe, and 585 million people worldwide have been infected with the novel SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) virus and have survived. It is estimated that up to 50% of these individuals may experience long-term effects, known as 'Long-COVID'. This commentary explores the parallels between Long-COVID and long-term effects experienced by cancer survivors, and suggests opportunities for improving research and clinical care for both populations.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the acceptance of a shared cancer follow-up care intervention by patients, general practitioners (GPs), and radiation oncologists (ROs). The findings showed that patients, GPs, and ROs were accepting of the shared care model, but with the condition that the RO remained directly involved and the health technology worked effectively.

Summary: Thai oncology nurses believe that different components of survivorship care plans are helpful for the long-term management of colorectal cancer survivors, support the provision of survivorship care plans, and express their perceived responsibilities for preparing and delivering these plans. The findings suggest that oncology nurses have opportunities to play a significant role in developing and implementing survivorship care plans, but further efforts are needed to expand nurses' roles in survivorship care and establish practice guidelines for integrating survivorship care plans into nursing practice.

Summary: Glenohumeral arthritis is a challenging problem, especially in young, active patients. Surgical treatment options, such as debridement and arthroplasty, are commonly used after nonoperative treatment has been exhausted. However, concerns regarding implant longevity have led to an interest in joint-preserving procedures. The Comprehensive Arthroscopic Management (CAM) procedure is recommended for patients with early glenohumeral arthritis, offering a combination of surgical techniques. Perioperative care, including regional nerve blocks and physical therapy, is crucial for optimal outcomes.
