Cancer survivorship is now recognized as a distinct phase of cancer care, but the process of delivering survivorship care continues to emerge. Nurses often play a pivotal role during the survivorship phase by identifying patient needs and making appropriate referrals to address the range of issues that may arise. Some nurses may also be directly involved in providing survivorship-focused clinical care. Formal cancer survivorship programs have been established in some academic medical centers to address the needs of cancer survivors. Other common approaches to delivering survivorship care include oncology practice-based and community-based models. Yet, many survivors receive little or no follow-up care focused on their cancer survivorship needs. This article will review the rationale for providing specialized follow-up care for cancer survivors, describe the essential components of that care, and assess the various models that can be employed to implement cancer survivorship care delivery.
癌症生存是癌症治疗的一个独特阶段，但是提供生存治疗的过程仍在不断发展。护士通常在生存阶段发挥关键作用，通过识别患者的需求并进行适当的转介，以解决可能出现的各种问题。一些护士也可能直接参与提供以生存为重点的临床护理。一些学术医疗中心已经建立了正式的癌症生存项目，以满足癌症生存者的需求。其他常见的提供生存治疗的方法包括肿瘤实践为基础和社区为基础的模式。然而，许多生存者很少或根本没有接受关注其癌症生存需求的后续护理。本文将回顾为癌症生存者提供专门的后续护理的基本原理，描述该护理的基本组成部分，并评估可以用来实施癌症生存护理的各种模式。
