“Survivorship Care in Oncology: Where Are the Gaps?
New Scoping Review Analyzes 198 Guidelines with 2270 Recommendations for Post-Cancer Follow-up
- Only 39% of recommendations are evidence-based
- Only 31% address long-term follow-up (>5 years)
- Equity aspects hardly taken into account
Conclusion:
- Survivorship care remains fragmented and inconsistently defined in guidelines.
- Recommendation on the integration of the WHO INTEGRATE framework.
- Our freely accessible, interactive evidence maps enable targeted research – practical for everyday clinical practice.”
