- W2100962386 abstract "Background: The majority of cancer survivors are breast cancer patients since about 80% live five years beyond diagnosis. It is projected that by 2020, demand for medical oncologists will exceed supply, in large part due to this increased number of cancer survivors. One proposed solution to address the disparity of resources is to enlist primary care physicians (PCP) in the care of cancer survivors. This pilot study aims to describe the perceptions of primary care physicians relative to cancer survivorship care.Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective, cross sectional survey of PCPs including internists, family practitioners and gynecologists in the outpatient setting. The primary outcome measure was a 45 item measure of knowledge and perceived role of the PCP in the care of cancer survivors.Results: A total of 84 PCPs of 200 surveyed (42%) responded. Overall, 66 PCPs stated they are interested in participating in the care of cancer survivors (79%); however, only a minority of the PCPs commonly discuss the survivorship phase of the cancer control continuum (n=8, 10%). The majority of PCPs believe that the medical oncologist should remain active in the follow up care in association with the PCP (n=28, 36%) or as a single provider (n=17, 20%). Only 20 PCPs (25%) agreed or strongly agreed that survival outcomes are similar for PCPs and medical oncologists. Most PCPs felt that cancer survivors are more compliant with survivorship care recommendations when proposed by the medical oncologist versus PCP (n=42, 55%). The majority of PCPs felt that survivorship follow up care guidelines would be extremely helpful or very helpful (n=61, 81%), a treatment summary of care document would be extremely helpful or very helpful (n=60, 80%), and a treatment summary care plan would change current practice (n=67, 90%). PCPs treat co-morbidities such as diabetes mellitus, obesity and hypertension; however only a minority of PCPs are aware of the relationship between co-morbidities and cancer survivorship. A little over a third of the PCPs strongly agreed that co-morbidities impacted upon the incidence of cancer, incidence of cancer recurrence and overall cancer mortality; n=30, (39%), n=27 (35%), and n=41 (42%) respectively.Discussion: Although PCPs recognize the opportunity to favorably impact on cancer survivorship issues, there appears to be a level of uncertainty regarding their role. PCPs are receptive to participating in the care of cancer survivors provided that they are given the necessary educational resources to do so. Interventions need to be developed and validated to improve the role of the PCP cancer survivorship care. Citation Information: Cancer Res 2009;69(24 Suppl):Abstract nr 1061." @default.
