Every patient seen in our Survivorship Center receives a comprehensive survivorship care plan — a guide for staying healthy as you begin your new life as a survivor.
Learn moreDealing with life after cancer begins with the search for helpful, timely and accurate information about all aspects of survivorship. We offer a wide range of services, workshops and cancer support programs to help you manage any emotional, physical and spiritual challenges as you move beyond treatment.
Our services include:
- Medical and preventive care, including an annual clinic visit, timely cancer screenings and surveillance scans, vaccinations and management of symptoms such as fatigue, sleep issues and difficulty with intimacy and/or fertility.
- Social support and guidance, including spiritual care, support groups and one-on-one counseling to address post-treatment adjustment, anxiety and stress.

I think what is special about the development of patient guides is that they translate the sometimes complicated and very comprehensive NCCN Guideline for Survivorship Care into a format that is accessible and readily usable for our patients. These guides are designed to assist patients throughout their cancer journey. They highlight specific issues that are particularly relevant to cancer survivors, such as fatigue and neuropathy, and provide evidence-based suggestions.Download the new NCCN guidelines for survivors
