Abstract
Cancer survivorship is particularly significant for patients with urologic malignancies, who account for >25% of cancer survivors. The American Cancer Society has a guideline on survivorship care in prostate cancer and the American Urological Association has published a core curriculum on cancer survivorship in urologic cancers. However, there is a lack of high-quality evidence on survivorship strategies to inform guideline recommendations. Future efforts need to focus on producing high-quality survivorship research and on increasing appropriate resources to improve the implementation of survivorship care. Patient summary: There are few guidelines on survivorship care for patients with prostate, bladder, penile, or kidney cancer. More funding is needed for research into care for cancer survivors.
