Towards a personalised approach to aftercare: a review of cancer follow-up in the UK

Abstract

Increasing patient confidence to initiate follow-up specific to their needs is likely to increase the workload of primary care providers, who will need training for this.

A qualitative study of home visiting as a palliative care strategy to follow‐up cancer patients by nurses in clinical setting in a developing country

“…These obstacles were also reported by Odige et al and Byrd . Davies and Batehup also reported that home visiting helped patients with cancer by alleviating the sense of desertion and the psychological trauma that they experienced .…”

Survivorship care for cancer patients in primary versus secondary care: a systematic review

“…However, using a narrative synthesis, no important differences were seen relating to clinical and patient-reported outcomes. These results are in line with previous reviews [12][13][14][15][16]. [30] 69.5% (GP) versus 68.6% (hospital), p = 0.888.…”

Trajectories of Health-Related Quality of Life and Psychological Distress in Patients with Colorectal Cancer; a Population-Based Study.

“…Psychological distress levels in this study were lower than those reported in previous studies, in which rates up to 42% were reported [6,11]. Improved communication of health information, shared decision-making, better treatment regimens and supportive care could have improved self-efficacy and thereby relieved psychological distress for a substantial part of patients [18,19]. Within 24-month follow-up, the proportion of major LARS in patients with RC ranged from 39% to 47%.…”
