Survivorship Survey: Clinician Perspective Web Briefing
Thursday, September 10
1:00 PM ET
For seven years, Cancer Nation’s Survivorship Survey has tracked the experiences of survivors and caregivers navigating cancer care. This year, we wanted to hear the other side of the story: what clinicians see as the barriers to delivering coordinated, whole-person care. Cancer Nation worked with Edge Research to survey 306 primary care providers and 302 oncologists nationwide. The findings reveal a system where care coordination is fragmented, survivorship planning lags behind every other phase of the cancer care continuum, and post-treatment care still has no clear owner.
Join us September 10 for a live briefing as we present the full findings and what they mean for policy, practice, and the 18 million+ people living with, through, and beyond cancer.
