Services
Prior to each appointment, medical records including the patient's past cancer diagnosis and treatment, current health status and quality of life, are obtained and reviewed by our medical staff in order to provide the patient with the best recommendations to help them maintain their health.
In most circumstances, we offer
- Thorough review of survivor's medical records
- Comprehensive yearly physical evaluation
- Referral to any other testing or specialists that may be needed to help in survivor's health care
- Assistance with any social, emotional or financial issues survivor might have due to the impact of their treatment
Cancer survivors leave their appointment with a Survivorship Care Plan that lists all of their therapy and medical information that is related to their diagnosis and any possible long term problems. This Survivorship Care Plan has recommendations for the patient and their healthcare provider to keep them as healthy and as informed as possible in the future. Cancer survivors may receive information on nutrition, exercise, or counseling to help optimize their health in the years following their cancer treatment.
This document includes a detailed summary of all diagnostic testing and treatments, as well as available evidence-based standards of care. Copies of the Survivorship Care Plan are provided to the cancer survivor's medical oncologist and primary care physician.
Most insurance carriers will cover this type of evaluation as a part of cancer treatment. If you have additional questions or concerns about this piece please call Patient Financial Services at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance at (206) 288-1113.
