Abstract
Two million people in the UK have had a cancer diagnosis and, due to improvements in diagnosis and treatment, the numbers of survivors are increasing. According to the National Cancer Institute, cancer survivorship encompasses the ‘physical, psychosocial, and economic issues of cancer from diagnosis until the end of life.’1 Hospital clinics are often overbooked with follow-up of survivorship patients, with little time available for each patient. Involvement of community-based care in survivorship has been shown to be beneficial. Follow-up for prostate cancer survivors through the UK varies, with some being discharged back to their GP and others remaining under secondary care. Cancer survivors may present to their GP after surgery and hospital discharge with a range of problems.
