Abstract

It has now been more than 5 years since the Institute of Medicine (IOM) laid out its bold vision of comprehensive survivorship care. Although there is clearly more attention paid to this phase of the cancer journey than previously, implementation of the IOM recommendations has proved difficult. In this article, we review some of the challenges to providing survivorship care and discuss efforts to prioritize the most essential elements.
