Comprehensive, quality care for cancer survivors has been an elusive dream for many. It is well-recognized in the U.S. that we could be doing a MUCH better job of caring for survivors.

NCI has put forth a well-thought-out document with suggested standards of care. Questions remain regarding its enforceability, and there are still gaps in the services and research that would affect long-term survivors, but it is certainly a place to start.
