"The individual needs of over 90 percent of cancer survivors are overlooked because of poor coordination," according to Dr. Patricia Ganz, co-author of the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) 2006 report: From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor: Lost in Transition.
"The IOM is urging the medical community to adopt a more ambitious long-term care plan that would detail the specific timing and content of follow-up care....The benefits of such a plan seem so obvious that many wonder why it is not already part of routine practice," said Dr. Sheldon Greenfield, of Center for Health Policy Research at the University of California, Irvine Medical Center, in an ACP Observer article.
