What should high-quality survivorship care look like? In this presentation, Dr. Michelle Mollica of the National Cancer Institute outlines new national standards that aim to ensure every survivor receives comprehensive, evidence-based support after treatment. From care coordination to managing long-term effects, these guidelines offer a roadmap for improving both patient outcomes and research.

In this powerful advocacy piece, Phuong Ly Gallagher and Erin Cummings, both cancer survivors and dedicated advocates, share their personal stories to raise awareness in the medical community. Their message is clear: cancer survivorship does not end with remission.

Many long-term Hodgkin lymphoma survivors face an increased risk of developing secondary cancers, often as a result of earlier treatments like chemotherapy or radiation.

A proposed cancer survivorship model emphasizes interdisciplinary coordination and the use of digital tools to enhance long-term care for survivors. By integrating care teams and technology, this approach aims to address the fragmented nature of post-treatment care and improve patient outcomes.

Here is a great interview hosted by Adrian Pogacian, speaking with Betty Roggenkamp, in “Beyond the Cancer Diagnosis.” Betty is well known for her work in promoting quality cancer care as well as a leading expert in the area of AYA cancer survivors.

This is a thought-provoking short video about the challenges that cancer survivors face when they are diagnosed with cancer in another country. Hear from Carmen, an AYA survivor of Hodgkin’s who is from Costa Rica, and April, who is from the Philippines, as they negotiate cancer care in a world that is not their own.

Insurance companies have been in the hot seat lately, for good reason. Both private insurers and Medicare are experiencing piercing scrutiny for their routine and often mind-boggling refusals to reimburse. Read this article if you have any doubt that the system is broken.

The findings were published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
