Wellness After Cancer

What is a Survivorship Care Plan (SCP)?

  • A survivorship care plan is typically shared with patients once active treatment is completed. The patient may receive a written SCP that can be shared with other physicians and specialists
  • The SCP is typically shared at a visit designated as a survivorship appointment, with a survivorship provider—this conversation improves patient satisfaction with providers
  • Most larger cancer programs have survivorship programs and offer comprehensive survivorship/wellness visits with a survivorship provider
