THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY published a revised template for survivorship care plans.

Plans should contain information about treatment the patient received, their need for future checkups and cancer tests, the potential long-term late effects of the treatment they received, and ideas for ways survivors can improve their health, according to ASCO.

The new template, updating a previous version the society developed nearly a decade ago, was published in the Journal of Oncology Practice as part of a statement on the importance of complete survivorship care plans. The template is also part of ASCO’s Cancer Survivorship Compendium, and is available through ASCO’s patient information website.
