01 - National Cancer Survivorship Needs Assessment: A Scoping Review and Mapping of Cancer Survivorship Services in the Irish Context

Abstract

Substantial evidence describing cancer survivors' unmet physical, psychological and social needs have prompted growing attention to the delivery of supportive care in survivorship. Surveillance, follow-up, symptom management, and self-management support are significant components of survivorship care that may overcome unmet needs and promote survivors' well-being. However, a variety of factors including access, navigation, continuity of information, and the structure of interventions, may influence the uptake of care by cancer survivors, thereby limiting the potential positive impact of these services.
