Patient completing their primary breast cancer treatment should pursue a detailed post treatment survivorship care plan. The guide line source (an American Cancer Society, and American Society of Clinical Oncology collaborative effort) listed below is the most comprehensive and up-to-date. Clinical trials showed equivalent outcome if either oncologist or primary care physician is providing such care plan. While this appears to be the most recent guidelines, I will continue to look for any updates.The guidelines focus on 5 key areas, 1) surveillance for breast cancer recurrence, 2) screening for second primary cancer, 3) assessment and management of physical and psychological long-term and late effects of breast cancer and treatment, 4) health promotion, 5) care coordination and practice implications. I did prepare a simple form that reflects my interpretation of the guidelines yet produced in a basic patient oriented fashion.
