Keywords cancer • survivorship • survivorship programs • health care deliveryImprovements in treatments for many cancers have led to a major increase in the population of cancer survivors in the USA. As of 2023, there are approximately 18 million cancer survivors in the USA, which is estimated to grow to 27 million by 2050. [1] Cancer survivors, herein defined as individuals from the time of diagnosis through the end of life, often experience physical, psychosocial, and practical challenges that may occur during treatment and persist for years and adversely affect their health-related quality of life.[2-6] As the population of survivors grows and ages, the delivery of comprehensive survivorship care has become more complex, with continuity of care and care coordination becoming more important. Subsequently, optimizing cancer survivorship care, particularly for those who have completed treatment, is a priority.In the last two decades, there have been many calls to action and new initiatives that have increased focus on improving the quality of survivorship care. A major milestone occurred in 2006, when the Institute of Medicine (now the National Academies of Medicine) released the report From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor: Lost in Transition. This report highlighted the unique needs of cancer survivors completing treatment, including screening for new cancers, monitoring for long-term physical and late emotional effects, and facilitating the coordination of care between specialists and primary care providers [7]. In 2012, the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer (CoC) released Standard 3.3, which required the delivery of survivorship * Sharon Manne
