Survivorship care for colorectal cancer: pathways for GP led follow up

<p>In this episode, we talk to Julien Vos, who is a doctoral student and clinician based at the Department of General Practice at the University of Amsterdam.&nbsp;We’re going to discuss his paper about survivorship care for colorectal cancer and patients experiences of GP-led care in the Netherlands.&nbsp; </p><p><em>Paper: Patients’ experiences with general practitioner-led colon cancer survivorship care; a mixed-methods evaluation at various time points</em></p><p><strong>Available at: </strong><a href="https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2022.0104" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2022.0104</strong></a></p><p>Cancer survivorship care is often complex and requires a multi-dimensional approach.&nbsp;Patients receiving colon cancer survivorship care from either the GP or surgeon rate the received care as of high quality.&nbsp;Roles and responsibilities of patients and physicians need to be clear in order to help organize survivorship care. GPs can take on a more prominent role in cancer survivorship care, but other outcomes, including patients’ and physicians’ preferences, will also be important.</p>
