Cancer Survivorship for Clinicians
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center

Course schedule »

Course description

With survivorship now recognized as a distinct phase of care in the cancer continuum, the focus turns to surveillance for, and management of, long-term and late effects that occur as a result of cancer and its treatment, as well as the health promotion and prevention of disease strategies that are particularly important for cancer survivors.

This conference, featuring speakers who are the leaders in the field of cancer survivorship, covers an important and increasingly relevant gap in the medical education of clinicians who care for cancer survivors.

Course objectives

  • To identify and discuss the primary categories of care needs for cancer survivors: cancer surveillance; screening/risk reductions for second cancers, late effects monitoring and management; functional and psychosocial assessment
  • To describe effective strategies for coping with long and short-term side effects of cancer and its treatment
  • To examine current evidence regarding influence of lifestyle factors on recurrence and survival

Intended audience

This conference is designed for Physicians (Oncology, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine) Physician Assistants, Nurses, Social Workers, Physical & Occupational Therapists and other interested health care professionals who work with cancer survivors or cancer survivorship issues.
