Health Care Use > 2 Years After Cancer Diagnosis: Results From a Survey Among 5,710 Patients With Various Cancer Types

A significant proportion of long-term cancer survivors in our sample reported unmet support needs (15% for professional care, 10% for peer support). Efforts should focus on improving access to affordable professional care, expanding peer support networks, providing personalized long-term follow-up care, and reducing stigma around seeking help, particularly within the context of the Dutch healthcare system.

Abstract

A significant proportion of long-term cancer survivors in our sample reported unmet support needs (15% for professional care, 10% for peer support). Efforts should focus on improving access to affordable professional care, expanding peer support networks, providing personalized long-term follow-up care, and reducing stigma around seeking help, particularly within the context of the Dutch healthcare system.
