NCI Releases New National Standards for Cancer Survivorship Care Toolkit
Oct. 15, 2024
The National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute (NCI), in partnership with other U.S. Department of Health and Human Services agencies and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, developed the National Standards for Cancer Survivorship Care toolkit. The toolkit, found on the NCI Office of Cancer Survivorship website, provides resources to support health systems and organizations as they utilize the survivorship standards to develop or enhance their services. Resources were recommended by survivorship subject matter experts involved in the development of the standards.
The toolkit includes:
- Key definitions.
- Organizational assessment tool.
- Guidance for implementing the standards.
- Survivorship guidelines and resources.
- Link to an example health policy template aligned with the standards.
More information about the standards is available on this NCI Office of Cancer Survivorship page and in a recent publication of the Journal of Cancer Survivorship.
For more information, contact Katie Grady, American College of Radiology® Government Affairs Director.
