2. The cancer story is changing
A diagnosis of cancer used to mean either
you died within 18 months or you were
cured, now there is a big group of people
who are living with incurable cancer.
Many others are living with the
consequences of treatment.
Today we will cover the learning from the
National Cancer Survivorship Initiative.
3. The number of people living with cancer is set
to double by 2030

11. Cancer Care Review
•Post-treatment with GP assessment and care planning
•Financial impact of cancer
•Patient awareness of
prescription exemptions
•Possible late effects of cancer
and treatment
•Information needs in primary
care

15. Supporting self management
•Frontline staff can influence healthy behaviour
change:

healthy eating) with patients
•Prompt self monitoring of behaviours
•Prompt specific goal setting related to behaviours
•Refer to appropriate specialist (lifestyle change
support) services if required

19. The impact of cancer and its treatment
•Patient Reported
Outcome Measures
(PROMS) give insight:
• the quality of life for
those living with and
beyond cancer from their
experiences and point of
view
• the impact of cancer
and treatments on ability
to lead meaningful lives.
20. What did people tell us?
– 1 year post diagnosis nearly half feared recurrence and
almost a third were afraid of dying.
– 38% of prostate cancer survivors reported urinary
leakage and 58% reported impotence.
– 1 in 5 colorectal survivors had difficulty in bowel control.
– QOL is closely associated with disease status and
presence of other long term conditions.
– Almost a third reported doing no physical activity and
around a fifth did the weekly recommended CMO
physical activity i.e. 30 mins x 5.
– Increased physical activity associated with better QOL.

24. Key survivorship messages
• A shift in professional culture is essential to enable
supported self management.
• New models of cancer aftercare gives opportunities to
improve quality and reduce cost.
• Many people can self manage their health with
support, with rapid access to professionals when needed.
• There is significant unmet need arising from
consequences of treatment, which can be successfully
addressed through prevention and treatment.
• Good survivorship care requires timely communication
across boundaries.
