Predictors of long-term follow-up clinic attendance and continued engagement among survivors of cancer in childhood and adolescence
Timely and accessible survivorship care is essential to mitigating late effects of cancer treatment. Here, one in five survivors did not receive survivorship care and patients that initiated LTSC early were more likely to remain engaged. Implications for Cancer Survivors Tailored interventions that support older and under-insured survivors and early referral to LTSC may improve survivor initiation and long-term engagement with survivorship care.
