J Clin Oncol. 2006 Nov 10;24(32):5117-24. doi: 10.1200/JCO.2006.07.0474.

Abstract

Survivors of adult cancer face lifetime health risks that are dependent on their cancer, cancer treatment exposures, comorbid health conditions, genetic predispositions, and lifestyle behaviors. Content, intensity, and frequency of health care that addresses these risks vary from survivor to survivor. The aims of this article are to provide a rationale for survivor health care and to articulate a taxonomy of models of survivor care that is applicable to both community practices and academic institutions.
