Cancer Survivorship Care
Build the clinical judgment to guide cancer survivors through surveillance, late-effects monitoring, and long-term wellness planning.
What this track covers
This track covers the care of patients who have completed primary cancer treatment, including disease-specific surveillance schedules, recognition of treatment-related late effects, and screening for second primary malignancies. It also addresses the psychosocial and lifestyle factors that shape long-term survivorship, from fear of recurrence to health promotion strategies.
What you will practice
- Build a survivorship care plan from a treatment summary
- Select disease-specific surveillance imaging and lab schedules
- Recognize cardiac, pulmonary, endocrine, and cognitive late effects
- Identify patients needing second-malignancy screening
- Screen for fear of recurrence, anxiety, and return-to-work barriers
Simulator scenario
A timed case where the virtual patient is a cancer survivor presenting for a routine follow-up visit with new fatigue, requiring the clinician to weigh late-effect workup against recurrence surveillance.
Board question topics
- Surveillance imaging and lab timing by cancer type
- Late effects of chemotherapy and radiation by organ system
- Second primary malignancy risk and screening
- Psychosocial assessment in survivorship visits
