Abstract

Purpose: To examine the important role that primary care nurse practitioners (NPs) have in providing long‐term surveillance and health maintenance for breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer survivors throughout the continuum of cancer care. Data sources: MEDLINE, CINAHL, MD‐Consult, and Cochrane's databases were utilized with the inclusion of primary research and critical research reviews from January 1995 through March 2008. Select organizational websites were also cited. Conclusions: Cancer patients experience changes in the focus of their care when management shifts from the treatment of cancer to management of treatment side effects and outcomes, to survivorship care, and to secondary cancer treatment. NPs have a strong impact on cancer survivorship care by serving in various roles and settings throughout the cancer trajectory to improve patient outcomes. Implications for practice: Cancer survivorship care expands beyond specialty settings, into primary care. NPs have a key role in ensuring continuity of care for patients with cancer. Models of care that promote continuity and high quality of care for patients with cancer include the shared‐care and nurse‐managed health center models. The formal collaborative plan of care is essential in long‐term cancer survivorship care.

  • Clinical resources have not kept up with the quickly growing number of breast cancer survivors.

    “Clinical resources have not kept up with the quickly growing number of breast cancer survivors [25,26]”

    From Co-Designing the MOSAIC mHealth App With Breast Cancer Survivors: User-Centered Design Approach (2024) · cites this paper as [26]

    The Implications for practice section says cancer patients are living longer, and Survivorship care effectiveness says ongoing monitoring has been slow to develop and identifies gaps in follow-up care. These passages support a broad mismatch between cancer survivorship needs and care, but they do not establish that clinical resources have failed to keep pace specifically with a quickly growing number of breast cancer survivors.

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.
