Age-appropriate needs-based care in an onco-primary care survivorship program for survivors of childhood, adolescent and young adult, and adult cancers.
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 2 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
purposeRoutine assessment of cancer survivors' needs is inconsistently performed in both primary care and oncology. Age influences survivorship needs, with younger survivors facing prolonged symptom burden and late effects, and older survivors experiencing compounded aging-related issues. We describe age-appropriate needs-based care in a university onco-primary care survivorship clinic serving adult survivors of childhood and adult cancers.
methodsBetween November 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023, the clinic administered age-appropriate assessments during routine visits (ages ≤ 39 years: Adolescent and Young Adult Psycho-Oncology Screening Tool for Survivorship [AYA-SPOST]; ≥ 40 years: NCCN Distress Thermometer and Problem List [NCCN DTPL]). Survivors prioritized their top three concerns, and clinicians addressed them in the visit. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize priority concerns.
resultsTwo hundred and twenty-eight patients (100%) completed age-appropriate assessments (AYA-SPOST: 112; NCCN DTPL: 116) and prioritized their concerns at their clinic visit. Leukemia (21%) and lymphoma (18%) were the most common diagnoses. Survivors ≤ 39 years old prioritized anxiety/fear (21%), sleep disturbances (14%), and worry about long-term effects (12%), while those ≥ 40 years old prioritized pain (40%), fatigue (28%), and worry/anxiety (23%). Clinicians discussed survivors' concerns with them and made 74 referrals to supportive services.
conclusionsWe implemented age-appropriate needs-based care in an onco-primary care clinic as part of standard care. Patients' priority concerns helped drive clinical visits to ensure patient-centered care. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Routine use of age-appropriate assessments for different stages of adulthood, with opportunities for survivors to prioritize their concerns, allows clinicians to take immediate action to help address those concerns.
