摘要

With the growing population of individuals living with and beyond cancer—who often have a variety of complex health needs across their lifetimes—coordinated multidisciplinary, multispecialty expert care is needed to ensure comprehensive survivorship cancer care beginning at diagnosis. Guided by the July 2023 US National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine workshop, we describe the evidence and propose steps to (1) identify and promote clinician competencies through education and training; (2) improve communication and care coordination, including leveraging the electronic health record and digital health innovations; (3) examine health system interventions and financial strategies to facilitate multidisciplinary, multispecialty survivorship care; and (4) identify policy, payment, and advocacy challenges and opportunities to achieve equitable, accessible, high-quality care. Although the recommendations are centered on the United States, their applicability to other countries should also be explored.
