“…41 The nation is facing the added challenge of responding to the aging of the population and the projected increases in the numbers of people diagnosed, living with, and dying of cancer. [44][45][46] It is widely accepted that much of this cancer burden could be reduced through the expanded implementation of proven prevention interventions and programs by public health agencies. 47,48 Cancer control planning and evaluation at the population level is a data-driven process.…”

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.

“…An article by Ryerson et al 38 describes innovative uses of the National Program of Cancer Registries infrastructure and data for comparative effectiveness and patient-centered outcomes research as a recruitment source for survivorship research studies and behavioral interventions, as well as for the collection, consolidation, and dissemination of treatment summaries for cancer survivors and their providers. Finally, the supplement concludes with a paper by White and colleagues 39 highlighting findings from all articles included in this supplement from the perspective of future needs and opportunities for public health work in cancer survivorship.…”

“…Based on these and other needs, it is clear that the need for specialized health care services for cancer survivors does not end when primary treatment is finished. Due to the potential complexities, survivorship care requires a coordinated, multidisciplinary effort, involving oncology providers, primary care providers, other specialty providers, and public health professionals [5][6][7].…”

There is a growing number of post-treatment cancer survivors in the USA. Cancer survivors can have a variety of care needs and health care professionals must be prepared to meet these needs. The American Cancer Society (ACS) and the George Washington University (GW) Cancer Center developed The Cancer Survivorship E-Learning Series for Primary Care Providers (E-Learning Series) to address the need for cancer survivorship training and education among health care professionals with a focus on primary care. The GW Cancer Center analyzed evaluation data from 1341 learners who voluntarily completed a module pre-and postassessment between April 15, 2013, and December 31, 2017, to assess differences in self-rated confidence, on a five-point Likert scale, to meet learning objectives. Descriptive statistics characterize the sample and paired samples t tests were used to assess any statistically significant differences from pre to post (p < 0.05). Most learners were nurses (75.19%) and a majority of learners worked in oncology (74.68%) followed by primary care (11.60%). At pre-assessment, the module with the lowest mean selfconfidence rating was 3.16 (SD = 0.81) and the highest was 3.60 (SD = 0.73). At post-assessment, module means in self-confidence rating ranged from 4.08 (SD = 0.46) to 4.26 (SD = 0.56). All differences were statistically significant (p < 0.0001). Results highlight gaps in confidence among health care professionals regarding cancer survivorship care and the need for continuing education. There is also a need for additional uptake of the E-Learning Series among primary care providers. Results suggest that the E-Learning Series is an effective educational tool that increases learners' confidence in providing cancer survivorship care.
