- Short Description:
- The presentation "Survivorship and Screening: Two End of the Cancer Spectrum" is a one-hour talk designed to define issues in both cancer screening and cancer survivorship: how to help your well patients with screening for early detection, and then how to help your cancer patients after their treatment with follow-up and survivorship issues.
In terms of screening, the talk will review up-to-date guidelines for screening of breast, cervical, colon, lung, and prostate cancer and will discuss the rationales for these sometimes conflicting guidelines. The presentation will also discuss ways in which the primary care physician and specialist can identify and address the common issues and concerns of cancer survivors including fear of recurrence, long-term side effects, fatigue, sexual issues, financial burdens, and lifestyle changes. We will discuss the role of the physician in surveillance, prevention through lifestyle changes, managing physical and psychosocial effects and screening for second malignancies.
