| Popis: | Objective To define important aspects of survivorship care for the more than 1.2million survivors of gynecologic cancer currently living in the US. Data Sources Research articles, reviews, position statements and white papers, and evidence-based guidelines. Conclusion Survivorship care includes a coordinated plan of care, ongoing surveillance, health promotion support, and management of long-term and late effects of treatment. Implications for Nursing Practice Nurses need to be aware of the current guidelines for post-treatment surveillance and health promotion recommendations for survivors of gynecologic cancers. Early identification of long-term and late effects of treatment followed by coordinated medical intervention and self-management education are essential to improve quality of life. |
