A survivorship care plan is a comprehensive document that outlines a patient's long-term follow-up strategy. It includes:
Details of the cancer diagnosis and treatment A schedule for follow-up visits and tests Information on potential late and long-term side effects Recommendations for preventive health measures Resources for psychological and social support
Survivorship care plans ensure that all healthcare providers involved in a patient's care are on the same page, facilitating a coordinated approach to long-term health management.
