ASCO endorses ACS guidelines for prostate cancer survivor care

The American Society of Clinical Oncology has endorsed the American Cancer Society Prostate Cancer Survivorship Care Guidelines, a 39-point list with recommendations on continuing care for prostate care survivors, but with a number of qualifying statements and modifications.

The guidelines, developed by a workgroup of 16 multidisciplinary experts specializing in the care of prostate cancer patients and the long-term effects of their treatments, are intended as points of reference for primary care providers, medical oncologists, urologists, and other health care providers.

Areas covered in the guidelines include health promotion, surveillance for recurrence, screening and early detection of second primary cancers, assessment and management of physical and psychosocial long-term and late effects, and care coordination and practice implications.Read the full list of recommendations here: (doi: 10.1200/JCO.2014.60.2557).
