Brief summary

This observational cohort study of patients who received cancer treatment (of any modality) in the last 18 months are evaluated by the use of a validated QOL tool (FACT-GP) and are evaluated via telephone or in person or both. Patients with high-risk for unmet needs or distress as determined by the FACT-GP are referred to an in-person Multidisciplinary Cancer Survivorship Clinic. This is considered standard of care at the investigator's institution and is part of the continuous clinical quality improvement program within the Geisinger Cancer Institute.
