Abstract

There are now close to 17 million cancer survivors in the United States, and this number is expected to continue to grow. One decade ago the Institute of Medicine report, From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor: Lost in Transition, outlined 10 recommendations aiming to provide coordinated, comprehensive care for cancer survivors. Although there has been noteworthy progress made since the release of the report, gaps remain in research, clinical practice, and policy. Specifically, the recommendation calling for the development of quality measures in cancer survivorship care has yet to be fulfilled. In this commentary, we describe the development of a comprehensive, evidence-based cancer survivorship care quality framework and propose the next steps to systematically apply it in clinical settings, research, and policy.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Optimal comprehensive survivorship care delivery needs to go beyond screening of recurrences and new malignancies and include health promotion, identification and management of physical and psychosocial needs, and proper attention to concomitant chronic health conditions.

    “It is now consensual that optimal comprehensive survivorship care delivery needs to go beyond screening of recurrences and new malignancies and include health promotion, identification and management of physical and psychosocial needs, and proper attention to concomitant chronic health conditions.8,10-12”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
