Cancer survivorship--the role of the GP.

BACKGROUND
Improvements in cancer detection, treatment and an ageing population mean that there are increasing numbers of people living with and beyond cancer. Current hospital-centred models of cancer follow-up have tended to focus on detection of cancer recurrence, which may result in significant unmet needs, particularly psychosocial needs.


OBJECTIVE
This paper discusses the evidence from previous studies of primary care involvement in cancer survivorship and key areas to consider in the follow-up care for common cancers.


DISCUSSION
General practice has an important role in the holistic care of cancer survivors and could take on an expanded role in cancer follow-up.
