A Survey of Colorectal Cancer Surveillance Practices In Ireland, And Implementation of A Survivorship Care Plan Pilot
Abstract:
Aims The number of colorectal cancer (CRC) survivors in Ireland is rising. We aimed to survey current surveillance practices and pilot the use of survivorship care plans (SCPs) in the clinic. Methods An online survey was issued to medical oncologists (MOs) in designated cancer centres (DCC) and satellite centres. The SCP was piloted in CRC patients and a follow-up questionnaire assessing their views was issued. Results Responses from 8 DCC and satellite centres were obtained (n=13). Routine surveillance is practiced by 77% (n=10) and 69% (n=9) believe that the MO clinic is inappropriate for follow-up. Most think that the SCP is useful and that ANP-led surveillance clinics should be introduced. Of 16 patients who replied to the survey, most felt that the SCP was benecial. Sixty-two percent (n=10) were agreeable to GP follow-up using the SCP. Conclusion Surveillance practices in Ireland are heterogeneous. The SCP may be useful for streamlining follow-up practices nationally.
