Survivorship concerns among individuals diagnosed with metastatic cancer: Findings from the Cancer Experience Registry.
Article in Journal of cancer survivorship : research and practice, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionIndividuals with metastatic cancer experience many medical, physical, and emotional challenges due to changing medical regimens, oscillating disease states, and side effects. The purpose of this study was to describe the type and prevalence of survivorship concerns reported by individuals with metastatic cancer, and their associations with cancer diagnosis, treatment, and socio-demographic variables.
methodsThis study utilized data from the Cancer Support Community's Cancer Experience Registry. Individuals were included if they self-reported a solid tumor metastatic cancer and completed CancerSupportSource, which evaluates five domains of concerns (emotional well-being, symptom burden, body image/healthy lifestyle, healthcare team communication, and relationships/intimacy). Multivariable linear regression examined associations between independent predictors of each survivorship concern domain.
resultsOf the 403 included participants, individuals reported a metastatic diagnosis of breast (43%), colorectal (20%), prostate (7%), lung (7%), gynecologic cancer (6%) and other. Nearly all (96%) reported at least one survivorship concern, with the most prevalent concern about cancer progression or recurrence. Survivorship concerns were higher across multiple domains for individuals unemployed due to disability. Individuals who were less than five years since diagnosis reported higher concerns related to emotional well-being, symptom burden, and healthcare communication compared to those more than five years since diagnosis.
conclusionIndividuals with metastatic cancer experience a variety of moderate-to-severe survivorship concerns that warrant additional investigation. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: As the population of individuals with metastatic cancer lives longer, future research must investigate solutions to address modifiable factors associated with survivorship concerns, such as unemployment due to disability.
