Patterns of follow ‐up care in adult blood cancer survivors—Prospective evaluation of health‐related outcomes, resource use, and quality of life

ConclusionsPatients at high risk of relapse or late complications were preferentially treated by academic oncologists, while patients in stable condition requiring continuous monitoring were also seen by community oncologists, and patients with curable diseases in long-term remission by primary care physicians. For the latter, transfer of follow-up care from oncologists to well-informed primary care providers appears feasible.
