Norton Cancer Institute Survivorship Program

According to the National Cancer Institute, there are now more than 10 million Americans living with a personal history of cancer. This large number of cancer survivors requires medical care and support services tailored to meet their individual needs.

The Norton Cancer Institute Survivorship Program provides a special level of care for patients through comprehensive clinical support, education and resources. The program is available for adults with a personal history of cancer who have completed active therapy.

The goal of the Norton Cancer Institute Survivorship Program is to address important patient issues such as health consequences of therapy, screening for other cancers, counseling for family members and/or caregivers, risk assessment and maintaining long-term patient-physician contact to ensure sharing of relevant information on new drugs and therapies. Patients make annual visits during which their individual care plans are prepared for the coming year. A copy of the individual care plan also is sent to the referring physician.

The Norton Cancer Institute Survivorship Program adds to patients’ care by providing coordinated care plans along with updates on issues of interest to cancer survivors as they become available.
