“Survivorship Care After Childhood Cancer: A Systematic Review of Reported Barriers and Facilitators
Childhood cancer survivors face substantial long-term health risks, yet many still miss guideline-concordant survivorship care.
A recent systematic review published in Cancer Control, led by Dr Erin Mobley, identifies high-confidence barriers spanning patient knowledge and beliefs (e.g., ‘care isn’t needed’), trauma/anxiety and trust, and major structural hurdles (financial toxicity, insurance gaps, scheduling challenges, travel/transportation, and unstable housing), plus under-resourced systems (limited funding, time, and infrastructure) and difficult pediatric-to-adult transitions.
Improving survivorship care requires multilevel, scalable solutions: routine survivorship care plans/treatment summaries, stronger care coordination and clinician relationships, flexible access models, and policy/infrastructure moves (e.g., reimbursement, EHR-integrated plans, navigator support) to close equity gaps.”
