“…5 The authors noted that SCP use was negatively associated with freestanding cancer program type as compared with academic institutions. 6 Although the percentages of providers reporting the use of SCP should increase over time per IOM guidelines, the content and method of delivery of SCPs continue to evolve.…”

“…Approximately 64% of all plans included recommendations from four public health areas: surveillance and applied research; communication, education, and training; programs, policies and infrastructure; and access to high-quality care and services. 6 The CDC has prioritized projects that support receipt of appropriate care among survivors as well as meeting survivors’ psychosocial and supportive needs.…”

Objectives The purpose of this investigation was to describe cancer survivorship based on the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) cancer survivorship modules in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi, conducted in 2012 and 2014, and to investigate disparities across the US Deep South region. Methods The optional BRFSS cancer survivorship module was introduced in 2009. Data from Alabama (2012), Georgia (2012), and Mississippi (2014) were assessed. Demographic factors were analyzed through weighted regression for risk of receiving cancer treatment summary information and follow-up care. Results Excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer cases, a total of 1105 adults in the Alabama 2012 survey, 571 adults in the Georgia 2012 survey, and 442 adults in the 2014 Mississippi survey reported ever having cancer and were available for analysis. Among Alabamians, those with a higher level of education (odds ratio [OR] 1.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.1–1.7) and higher income (OR 1.3, 95% CI 1.1–1.6) were more likely to receive a written summary of their cancer treatments. Adults older than age 65 were only half as likely to receive a written summary of cancer treatments compared with adults 65 years or younger (OR 0.5, 95% CI 0.3–0.8). We found no significant differences in receipt of treatment summary by race or sex. Among those who reported receiving instructions from a doctor for follow-up care, these survivors tended to have a higher level of education, higher income, and were younger (younger than 65 years). Receipt of written or printed follow-up care was positively associated with higher income (OR 1.4, 95% CI 1.1–1.8) and inversely associated with age older than 65 years (OR 0.9, 95% CI 0.1–0.6) in Georgia. Conclusions Addressing the gap identified between survivorship care plan development by the health team and the delivery of it to survivors is important given the evidence of disparities in the receipt of survivorship care plans across survivor age and socioeconomic status in the Deep South.

“…The NAPCS recommends strategies focused on 4 core public health areas: 1) surveillance and applied research; 2) communication, education, and training; 3) programs, policies, and infrastructure; and 4) access to quality care and services. The majority (94%) of cancer coalitions supported by the NCCCP currently are working within their communities to pursue these public health strategies in support of cancer survivors . A recent assessment of the implementation of NAPCS revealed that 64% of NCCCP grantees include NAPCS strategies in their own program action plans .…”

Because cancer registry data provide a census of cancer cases, registry data can be used to: 1) define and monitor cancer incidence at the local, state, and national levels; 2) investigate patterns of cancer treatment; and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of public health efforts to prevent cancer cases and improve cancer survival. The purpose of this article is to provide a broad overview of the history of cancer surveillance programs in the United States, and illustrate the expanding ways in which cancer surveillance data are being made available and contributing to cancer control programs. The article describes the building of the cancer registry infrastructure and the successful coordination of efforts among the 2 federal agencies that support cancer registry programs, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Cancer Institute, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries. The major US cancer control programs also are described, including the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program, the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, and the Colorectal Cancer Control Program. This overview illustrates how cancer registry data can inform public health actions to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes and may be instructional for a variety of cancer control professionals in the United States and in other countries.
