The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends four essential components of survivorship care: (1) Prevention and detection of new cancers and recurrent cancer; (2) surveillance for cancer spread, recurrence, or second cancers; (3) intervention for consequences of cancer and its treatment (e.g., medical problems, symptoms, psychological distress); and (4) coordination between specialists and primary care providers.
