Primary care provider involvement in thyroid cancer survivorship care.
While prior research has examined how primary care providers (PCPs) can care for breast and colon cancer survivors, little is known about their role in thyroid cancer survivorship. The purpose of this study was to understand PCP involvement and confidence in thyroid cancer survivorship care. The investigators found that while PCPs reported being involved in long-term surveillance, gaps remained in their confidence in handling survivorship care. They indicated that thyroid cancer survivorship guidelines that delineate PCP roles present one opportunity to increase confidence about their participation.
